This book was released on 2011 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annually women experience 4.8 million physical assaults and rapes. This kind of abuse cost billions of dollars yearly in medical care expenses, mental health, and lost productivity. Nurses are in the position to improve identification of intimate partner violence (IPV) since patients seek health care in the hospital setting. Lack of nurse education and knowledge are two of the most identified barriers in screening for IPV (Ellis, 1999, Hegge & Condon, 1996; Hetzel, 2004; Jezierski, 2002; Power, 2004; and Ralph 2000). This study involved surveying 89 nurses who work in the emergency department, transitional care, and labor and delivery units in a large suburban hospital. The PI conducted a quantitative descriptive study following Orlando's theory of The Dynamic Nurse-Patient Relationship. A survey consisted of twenty true and false questions to assess nurses' knowledge of abused women, nurses' assessment knowledge of IPV, and nurses' knowledge of women's general health in IPV. This study indicates that areas of concentration should focus on women's general health in IPV. An overwhelming, 75% percent of nurses feel more IPV education or in-services are needed. This study provided the advanced nurse educator the necessary information needed to develop an educational offering for those who work in healthcare areas to be able to identify patients who are victims of IPV.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's abstract : This quality improvement translational project was intended to increase the confidence of nurses screening for intimate partner violence, through education. The project utilized a focus group and the Physicians Readiness to Manage Intimate Partner Violence Survey to gather needs, knowledge gaps, and prior education to develop IPV education for a group of nurses at a public health department. Nurses were found to have a low level of IPV knowledge, with a mean score of 42.44 (SD= 15.13), on a 100-point scale. Six of the nurses also reported less than one hour of previous IPV training in the past. Nurses reported their confidence to screen on a confidence visual analog scale pre-and post IPV education. Nurses confidence to screen for IPV was 2 points higher after receiving IPV education, 95% CI [1.93, 2.23]. Pre- and post-scale scores were strongly and positively correlated (r =0.982, p
Book Synopsis Responding to Intimate Partner Violence and Sexual Violence Against Women by : World Health Organization
Download or read book Responding to Intimate Partner Violence and Sexual Violence Against Women written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2013 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A health-care provider is likely to be the first professional contact for survivors of intimate partner violence or sexual assault. Evidence suggests that women who have been subjected to violence seek health care more often than non-abused women, even if they do not disclose the associated violence. They also identify health-care providers as the professionals they would most trust with disclosure of abuse. These guidelines are an unprecedented effort to equip healthcare providers with evidence-based guidance as to how to respond to intimate partner violence and sexual violence against women. They also provide advice for policy makers, encouraging better coordination and funding of services, and greater attention to responding to sexual violence and partner violence within training programmes for health care providers. The guidelines are based on systematic reviews of the evidence, and cover: 1. identification and clinical care for intimate partner violence 2. clinical care for sexual assault 3. training relating to intimate partner violence and sexual assault against women 4. policy and programmatic approaches to delivering services 5. mandatory reporting of intimate partner violence. The guidelines aim to raise awareness of violence against women among health-care providers and policy-makers, so that they better understand the need for an appropriate health-sector response. They provide standards that can form the basis for national guidelines, and for integrating these issues into health-care provider education.
Book Synopsis Understanding Gender-Based Violence by : Caroline Bradbury-Jones
Download or read book Understanding Gender-Based Violence written by Caroline Bradbury-Jones and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-02-17 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book brings together the voices and insights of survivors, practitioners, educators and researchers working to prevent and minimise the harms of gender-based violence, with a specific focus on equipping health professionals and social workers to support victim-survivors. Practitioners can, and often do, play a critical role supporting victim-survivors of gender-based violence; however, this work has historically been carried out by those in specialist roles and there remains gaps and inconsistencies in education and training for qualifying and post-qualified professionals. This book makes a valuable contribution to addressing these gaps. It provides practitioners with a comprehensive resource on contemporary debates and research in the field of gender-based violence. To support readers’ learning, each chapter contains reflective exercises and draws clear links between research, theory and practice. The book is structured into four sections. The first section considers the ‘rise’ of gender-based violence in policy and practice, and questions to what extent this once marginalised perspective has become embedded in health and social work training and education. The second section of the book explores some of the expressions, contexts and implications of gender-based violence. Each chapter considers the role of health care professionals and social workers and invites the reader to reflect on their (potential) role in these areas. The third section of the collection focuses on one of the most common forms of gender-based violence that health and social work professionals are likely to encounter: physical, psychological, sexual and financial violence by an intimate partner, who may also be a parent. Finally, the fourth section showcases innovative responses to supporting victim-survivors and challenging systems that contribute to gender inequality. The intention of this book is to equip health care professionals and social workers with critical, practical and ethical resources to help them work with victim-survivors and, where possible, engage in transformative efforts to end the harms of gendered inequalities and violence.
Book Synopsis A Qualitative Study on Intimate Partner Violence Screening Practices by Registered Nurses in the Emergency Department by : Theresa M. Fay-Hillier
Download or read book A Qualitative Study on Intimate Partner Violence Screening Practices by Registered Nurses in the Emergency Department written by Theresa M. Fay-Hillier and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Approximately 30% of women and 10% of men in the United States have been the victims of intimate partner violence (IPV)—which is defined and divided into four types of violence: physical violence, sexual violence, threats of physical or sexual violence, and psychological or emotional abuse. Intimate partners include current or former spouses, significant others and dating partners. Victims of IPV are frequently evaluated by registered nurses (RNs) at a hospital emergency department (ED). Although health care providers are encouraged to screen for IPV, most studies have indicated that routine screening does not consistently occur. The purpose of this study is to explore the experiences, views, and perceptions of RNs working in the ED with regard to screening for IPV. Methods: This qualitative study developed using Bandura’s social cognitive theory as the theoretical framework, involved 21 semi-structured interviews with ED RNs. The transcripts were analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Results: Most of the nurses indicated a lack of clinical preparedness through their formal educational experiences, or through hospital in-services, to address screening for IPV. Three key factors in motivating nurses to screen for IPV were the assessment prompts of the electronic medical record (EMR), a perceived role as a patient advocate, and suspicion that the patient may have been abused. All participants stated that the design of their EMR system included a component that addressed domestic violence. Although most nurses said that they function as a patient advocate when screening for IPV, they varied as to how they applied this perception to the actual screening experience. Supporting the patient’s autonomy, credibility of the nurse and/or patient, and screening the patients alone were perceived obstacles in screening for IPV. For most nurses, supporting the patient’s autonomy meant letting the patient decide whether to disclose the abusive relationship and affected how the nurse proceeded if any abuse was mentioned. Perceived credibility was an obstacle in two ways; nurses were often unsure if the patient was providing accurate responses when screened and felt unsure of whether they were the best people to provide appropriate interventions to patients who disclosed abuse. Although all the nurses agreed that it is preferable to screen patients with no one else present, some of them indicated difficulties in being able to do so. Some nurses described techniques that they implemented in order to screen patients privately, whereas others did not attempt to gain privacy. Conclusions: This study found that nurses are not usually involved in the development of or in providing feedback on the tools used to screen for IPV, the clinical flow and practice design of the environment (hospital unit) to support screening patients privately, the type and timing of educational training (if any is even provided), or assessment of the effectiveness of resources available to provide to identified victims. Moreover, they do not receive follow-up information as to what impact their intervention and resources had on the victims. Nurses should be included in the development of these procedures and of laws and policies that directly impact their role in addressing identified victims of IPV (such as mandatory reporting of victims).

Women are significantly more likely to report being victimized by intimate partner than men. IPV can result in high personal and social costs in terms of personal health consequences, burden on the medical care and loss productivity for the society. Early and effective interventions for women survivors of IPV are utmost importance. Increasing the safety behaviours education to abused women is one of the aims of advocacy interventions that may prevent further abuse and increase the safety and well-being of those women. It is crucial for nurses to assess the effectiveness of the advocacy intervention in order to apply the best evidence into practice in the local settings. However, there are no specific interventions or guidelines for women survivors of IPV are available in Hong Kong local healthcare system including the STD clinics or the Social Hygiene Clinics. In this dissertation, a translational nursing research related to an effective advocacy intervention for women survivors of IPV is described. The purposes of this study are (1) to conduct a systematic literature review on interventions to increase safety behaviours for women survivors of IPV; (2) to summarize and synthesize the data from the identified literatures; (3) to assess the implementation potential of the proposed innovation on advocacy intervention; (4) to develop an evidence-based practice guideline; (5) to develop an implementation plan; and (6) to develop an evaluation plan to assess the effectiveness of the proposed evidence-based guideline. A systematic literature search was conducted and a total of nine studies were identified in the review. The level of evidence and critical appraisal of each selected study was criticized by using the grading system of Scottish Intercollegiate Guideline Network (SIGN). After the integrative review, the implementation potential of the proposed innovation on advocacy intervention for women survivors of IPV was assessed in terms of different aspects, including target audience and setting, transferability, feasibility and cost-benefit ratio. Then an evidence-based guideline was developed based on the level of evidence with grades of recommendation stated. For the implementation plan was divided into two parts, the communication plan and the pilot study plan. After communicating with the different identified stakeholders and providing proper training programme to the innovators, a pilot study test was carried out for concrete information on the feasibility of the proposed innovation. Finally, an evaluation plan was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed innovation. The aim of this dissertation is to increase the safety behaviours of the target population and to reduce further abuse. With the implementation of the evidence-based advocacy intervention, the women client's knowledge on safety-promoting behaviours should be improved significantly thus to improve their health and also to increase their safety.
