Intimate partner
violence (IPV) is a prevalent health issue and it is important anyone involved
in health care have an awareness of the problem. Identifying and treating IPV
victims can have a significant impact on their health and well-being. I hope
readers have gained an understanding of the magnitude of the problem and how
they can help IPV victims. In order to help health educators develop an
awareness about the topic I believe the power and control wheel adequately
summarizes what intimate partner violence is.

Hello Christine,
ReplyDeleteI know that IPV is a hard topic to address and teach to nurses who live in small rural town. I applaud your effort and I wish you luck in this endeavor as you build your teaching strategy and research design in this field as we need more education on IPV.

Thank you for your comments Monique!
ReplyDeleteHi, Christine, I enjoyed your blog and presentation. Your comments about how difficult it is to deal with domestic violence issues among prominent members of a small community made a real impression on me. Since I work in a large county, I rarely encounter people I have worked with outside the office. I can see how this would really complicate the ability to help victims/survivors. Thanks for a great blog! --Liz
