Abstract
This preliminary interrupted time series analysis evaluated different interventions to improve identification of victim-survivors of domestic abuse in one U.K. National Health Service trust, focusing on emergency department, sexual health services and HIV care, and obstetrics and gynecology. This analysis demonstrated that while system-level interventions can improve identification of domestic abuse in clinical contexts, the exact nature of interventions most likely to be effective may vary in different clinical contexts. For example, none of the modeled interventions generated significant impacts in emergency department contexts, and estimates were close to the null in all cases, but routine inquiry demonstrated effectiveness in sexual health services, while implementation generated improved effectiveness in the obstetrics and gynecology setting.
这项初步的间断时间序列分析评估了不同的干预措施,以改善英国国民健康服务托管机构对家庭虐待受害者-幸存者的识别,重点关注急诊科、性健康服务和 HIV 护理以及妇产科。这项分析表明,虽然系统层面的干预措施可以改善临床环境中对家庭虐待的识别,但在不同的临床环境中,最有可能有效的干预措施的确切性质可能会有所不同。例如,在急诊科环境下,没有一项示范干预措施产生重大影响,所有情况下的估计值都接近于零,但在性健康服务中,常规调查显示了有效性,而在妇产科环境下,实施干预措施提高了有效性。
期刊介绍:
We all face the difficult problem of understanding and treating the perpetrators and victims of violence behavior. Violence and Victims is the evidence-based resource that informs clinical decisions, legal actions, and public policy. Now celebrating its 25th year, Violence and Victims is a peer-reviewed journal of theory, research, policy, and clinical practice in the area of interpersonal violence and victimization. It seeks to facilitate the exchange of information on this subject across such professional disciplines as psychology, sociology, criminology, law, medicine, nursing, psychiatry, and social work.
