Likert-type scale for determining the knowledge levels of nurses and midwives in diagnosing the symptoms and risks of child abuse and neglect. A score average approaching 5 indicates that they are knowledgeable about the signs and risks of child abuse and neglect, and a score away from 3 indicates that they are not knowledgeable about the signs and risks of child abuse and neglect.
