Despite the detrimental outcomes of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), most women go to great lengths to deliberately hide it. My thesis reports on a small-scale study that explored, through semi-structured interviews, the experiences of women who were ‘screened’ for abuse after a positive disclosure was made in a health care setting. Intimate partner violence (IPV) is fundamentally a public health issue. Yet attempting to address domestic violence in the realms of a health care setting has posed a number of problems that have not served women living in abusive relationships adequately. There is limited empirical evidence regarding women’s experiences of health services following IPV. Researchers have highlighted a complex range of challenges that women face in relation to service use. Included in these challenges are inadequate responses by health professionals and limited community supports and access. The rich experiences described by women who were interviewed for this thesis have provided insight into what the experience is like for women. Routine universal screening was introduced into health care settings to identify abuse but there appears to be no adequate response to dealing with this complex issue. The quality of relationship between women who screen positive to ‘abuse’ and the health care professional appears to be crucial to helpful outcomes, for these women. In an acute hospital setting, effective practice in addressing this complex issue requires professional activities, which include behaviours, attitudes and specific theory- informed practice. Healthcare social workers are best placed to identify those women who require the support and responsiveness of expert knowledge to deal with this complex issue in a health care setting. |
