“…Community factors were represented by the overwhelming demand for more community action, support, and resources to prevent violence and meet the physical, psychological, and safety needs of those involved in violent episodes.

Domestic violence is of special concern to nurses, as they are often the first health care professionals to interact with battered women. The purpose of this study was to explore and describe nurses' attitudes toward the survivors and perpetrators of domestic violence. A holistic ecological health promotion framework guided this qualitative investigation. Thirteen participants expert in the care of abused women were interviewed using semistructured questions to describe nurses' attitudes toward survivors and perpetrators. Significant statements were identified, clustered, and placed into categories of response. Findings included identification of general themes and specific categories related to attitudes nurses have about battered women and those who abuse and injure them. The significance of this research underscores the importance of nurses' attitudes as influencing factors in their interactions with women and families involved in domestic violence. Application of a health promotion framework encourages a holistic perspective of care for this vulnerable population.

Furthermore, erroneous beliefs about abuse may prevent health care professionals from adequately identifying victims (Schroeder & Weber, 1998). Therefore, to increase screening rates, the attitudes of nurses must first be addressed.…”

Role-play is an effective strategy to teach students the dynamics of domestic violence and the need for sensitivity and therapeutic response to victims (Schroeder & Weber, 1998). The didactic and practice components of the training are a collaborative effort of FSA staff, LE, and participating nursing faculty.…”
