Abstract

Nurses and other health care providers are ideal persons to intervene with women who are experiencing violence and abuse in their intimate relationships. All women are not assessed for this health care problem because of lack of education on the part of their health care providers. This article presents principles and methods for the provision of education about women abuse to practicing nurses and students in graduate and undergraduate nursing programs. By redressing this lack of knowledge and skills, nurses will be empowered to provide clinical intervention and leadership in addressing this major health and social problems. Sample outlines and objectives are provided.
