- Although
the classic battered child who presents with multiple
injuries can be easily identified by the family
physician, it is a diagnostic challenge when no
physical signs are apparent or the child has a single
injury. Bullock discusses the correlation between
domestic abuse and child abuse and suggests ways
in which physicians can screen for abuse.

- Inmates
are a unique patient population. When emergencies
arise or their medical problems exceed the capabilities
of the prison infirmary, inmates are frequently
referred to the local hospital emergency department.
There are many unique aspects of the prison environment
that must be considered when managing these patients.
These patients are high risk from a medicolegal
standpoint, and their medical care and chart should
reflect this reality. Correctional medicine
is an emerging subspecialty area focusing on the
issues related to the care of this patient population

- Objective
About one fourth of physicians report having received
training on domestic violence. The purpose of this
study was to determine the response of the ED house
staff to an educational program on domestic violence
against women. The research questions in this study
were as follows: (1) What training topics did the
house staff rate as most important and relevant
to their practice? (2) What topics did the house
staff rate as most useful to their day-to-day practice?
(3) What were the house staff's attitudes and beliefs
before training? (4) Did the method of training
on domestic violence influence the house staff's
attitudes and beliefs? (5) What were the house staff's
perceptions in terms of sociodemographic variables?
Methods
An exploratory descriptive study with a three-group
pretest and posttest design was used. The sample
consisted of 37 residents, interns, and medical
students assigned to their clinical rotation in
the emergency department in a large urban hospital
trauma center. The age range of the participants
was 25 to 40 years. The instruments used included
Importance of Training Topics for Domestic Violence
Questionnaire (ITTDVQ), Usefulness of Training Topics
for Domestic Violence Questionnaire (UTTDVQ), Inventory
of Beliefs About Wife Beating (IBWB), and the Self-Efficacy
Scale for Battered Women-Professional Version (SESFBW-PV).
- Results
Topics on domestic violence against women that the
house staff rated as most important, relevant, and
most useful in their day-to-day practice were awareness
of the
problem, referral as intervention, documentation
of abuse, and references/resources. Attitudes and
beliefs after training suggested an increased (1)
confidence in the self-efficacy behaviors of women
who are abused by intimate others, (2) need for
the assessment, treatment, and referral for domestic
violence in women who enter the emergency department
with medical problems/injuries, and (3) belief that
help should be given to women who are abused. There
was very little variation in perceptions of the
house staff in terms of age, gender, education,
ethnic origin, or marital status.
- Discussion
The major conclusion of the study was that the house
staff had a positive response to training on violence
against women. Sixty-five percent of the house staff
had noprevious training on domestic violence. Implications
for practice include continuing education and research
on domestic violence training in the emergency department.
