Intimate‐Partner Violence: A Retrospective Review of Records in Primary Care Settings

Abstract

Practitioners should develop a common area for documenting reports of IPV. The level and depth of resources available within the setting and the community may affect providers' willingness to screen for IPV.

Engaging Native Hawaiians and Pilipinos in creating supportive and safe violence-free communities for women through a piloted “talkstory” intervention: Implications for program development

“…Reported rates of IPV vary widely from one cultural group to another (CDC, National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, 2011;Magnussen et al, 2004;Magnussen, Shoultz, Hansen, Sapolu, & Samifua, 2008;Shoultz et al, 2007Shoultz et al, , 2010; however, there are little data available regarding the incidence and prevalence of IPV among women who are members of a variety of cultural groups (Samuel, 2003;Senturia, Sullivan, Ciske, & ShiuThornton, 2000). Although women of Asian and Pacific Islander (API) backgrounds report a lower rate of IPV than other cultural groups (Tjaden & Thoennes, 2000), researchers who work with these women have estimated that the prevalence of IPV is as high in API populations as in other groups and call for further investigation to ascertain the extent to which this phenomenon can be explained by the level of willingness to disclose abuse by members of these groups.…”

“…In 2006, 22,000 adults in Hawaii reported IPV, 3% of the adult population, and 10% of high school students reported being physically injured by a partner (SMS Research and Marketing Service, Inc., 2006). Although there are no prevalence data currently available specific to Native Hawaiians or Pilipinos 2 , a retrospective study performed in 2004 (Magnussen et al, 2004) found that out of a total valid sample of 337 records reviewed at four community health centers, 31 or 9% of the records reported IPV. The percentage of Native Hawaiian women who reported IPV was the highest of any group (32%); however, they represented only 19% of the total population reviewed.…”

Cluster randomized controlled trial protocol: addressing reproductive coercion in health settings (ARCHES)

“…Unfortunately, screening and disclosure rates remain low; existing studies on disclosure indicate that only 5 % to 15 % of women have disclosed abuse to their providers [39][40][41]. Survivors' preferences not to be pressured to disclose [42][43][44] and health provider discomfort with discussing IPV [45][46][47] compound the difficulties in identifying and supporting survivors [34,44,[48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55].…”

Perceptions and Experiences of Intimate Partner Violence Among Hispanic College Students

“…Conceptions of IPV and risk appraisal for future victimization can differ dramatically between clinicians and women who experience IPV (Cattaneo, 2007). Furthermore, professionals from different disciplines have different perspectives, and there are few clear guidelines for intervention within disciplines (Magnussen et al, 2004;Tower, 2003Tower, , 2006Wandrei & Rupert, 2000). variables that are consistent with Bandura's (1977) observational/modeling theory.…”
