“…Beyond these types of first-line responses, research suggests more intensive interventions involving tailored educational and therapeutic services may improve health outcomes. [24][25][26][27] The successful implementation of such a protocol; however, may be dependent on the presence of systems-level facilitators. Additional research needed on tools and operational processes critical to effective implementation of IPV screening and intervention practices is discussed next.…”

We describe a vision of screening and intervention for Intimate Partner Violence informed by deliberations during the December 2013 Intimate Partner Violence Screening and Counseling Research Symposium and the resultant manuscripts featured in this special issue of the Journal of Women's Health. Our vision includes universal screening and intervention, when indicated, which occurs routinely as part of comprehensive physical and behavioral health services that are both patient centered and trauma informed. Areas for future research needed to realize this vision are discussed. 2 The evidence showing a substantial prevalence of IPV among women, both lifetime and recent, is clear, 2,3,4 as is the evidence that both current and past IPV are associated with immediate and long-term physical and mental health problems. [5][6][7] Tools to screen for IPV have been validated 3,8 and at least one has been formulated as an ''app'' (R3 app containing HITS*) 9 for easy use by clinicians. There is also considerable evidence supporting the efficacy of interventions for IPV in both community and health care settings as well as promising new electronic intervention strategies. 10Routine screening for IPV is supported by evidence, reflected in policy briefs by professional associations, 11,12 and endorsed by both abused and non-abused women in population-based and setting-specific studies. 4In response, the United States Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has supported programmatic activities designed to increase IPV prevention, improve services to those affected, and better understand the nature, extent, and sequelae of current and lifetime exposure to IPV.13 Within the context of these ongoing investments, and bolstered by the Affordable Care Act's commitment to preventive services for women, 14 including IPV screening and counseling, the DHHS Coordinating Committee for Women's Health convened the Intimate Partner Violence Screening and Counseling Research Symposium on December 9, 2013. 13 The goal of the Symposium was to identify research gaps related to IPV screening and counseling in primary healthcare settings and to identify and inform future research priorities to address these gaps, with the ultimate goal of informing guidelines, services and practice.1,13 The meeting demonstrated both the power and the possibility of a multi-agency, multi-sector approach to shaping, building, and strengthening the evidence base for IPV screening and intervention. Building on this foundation, the goals of this paper are twofold: (1) to describe a vision for the effective implementation of evidence-based IPV screening, assessment and intervention strategies based on the research featured in this special issue; and (2) to highlight specific research gaps that must be filled in order to realize that vision. Screening and Counseling for IPV: A VisionAdvocates and practitioners have long called for the implementation of effective IPV screening and intervention in healthcare settings. 15 The passage of the Affordable Care A...

“…These include chronic pain, respiratory and musculoskeletal conditions, cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, gastrointestinal symptoms, sleep disturbances, suicidal ideation, self-harm, eating disorder, dependence on alcohol and substances, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and anxiety (Campbell, 2002;Hegarty, 2011;Warshaw et al, 2013). However, focusing on mental illness diagnosis distracts and undermines the effects of DVA experiences (Oram et al, 2017).…”

“…The severity and frequency of DVA can correlate directly with the severity of symptomatology that appears during and/or following abusive incidents (Dillon et al, 2013). Survivors often experience other psychological and behavioural changes such as feelings of shock, confusion, fear, isolation, despair and with feelings of a loss of connection with one's own sense of self and with reality (Warshaw et al, 2013).…”

Most literature and discourse on domestic violence and abuse focuses on women, but there is a need to be cognisant of the broader population experiencing domestic violence and abuse and the wide-ranging impacts that can affect anybody, whatever their identity or background. Mental health nurses are in a good position to help people who experience domestic violence and abuse but they need to be able to recognise it first. This paper reports on a review which aims to address the question: How can mental health nurses recognise domestic violence and abuse? The databases CINAHL, Medline, PsychINFO and ASSIA were searched using key terms related to domestic violence and abuse and nursing and recognition. The term ‘nursing’ was used as the ‘mental health nursing’ search term found only two papers. Limits for the search were English language research-only papers from 2002–2017. Fifteen papers were included in the review. The experience of domestic violence and abuse has significant consequences for mental health yet we found only two research papers focused on mental health settings. We therefore discuss and extrapolate from reviewed literature the implications for practice in the context of mental health nursing.

“…What has been given less attention in the literature, however, are the ways that these survivor responses can be interpreted as concomitant adaptations that signal the strategic deployment of autonomous regulation (Warshaw et al 2013). Campbell and Jenevieve (2016, p. 1) highlight the pathologizing bias of the medical model as a frame that "obscure[s] multi-faceted and hidden forms of agency, and the complexity of agency-violence intersections.…”

Infrapolitics of Defiance: Forms of Agency Exhibited by Homeless Survivors of Gender-Based Violence

This article offers a provocative look at practices of false compliance that homeless gender-based violence survivors employ to withstand the personal and structural violence they experience. The article explores how the three instrumentations of disorder, evasion, and subterfuge are used by survivors as forms of veiled resistance, as well as locations that exhibit their agency. Featuring stories from a series of in-depth interviews, the article uses critical theory to examine the specific mechanisms survivors' use to defy violent power relations. The research employs a grounded theory methodology, using narrative analysis grids to code for dialogic and performative themes that consistently emerge in survivor narratives. Research findings suggest that survivors' needs may be best met through innovative community-based programming that deinstitutionalizes entry and exit points into support systems. This decenters the role and function of the external professional helper by utilizing trained local community members as key partners in the disruption of violence cycles. This less traditional approach should be accompanied by housing reform policies that effect longer-term structural change by embedding shelter and safety needs in community networks. In the absence of such durable supports, survivors will continue to enact strategies of sabotage and logics of subversion until helping systems are transformed.
