TY - JOUR PY - 1993// TI - Battered women: intervention and prevention. A psychosociocultural perspective, Part 2 JO - Journal of the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners A1 - Hoff, L. A. SP - 34 EP - 39 VL - 5 IS - 1 N2 - Building on the foundation of understanding and comprehensive assessment of battered women, this article addresses service planning and intervention. Strategies are approached within the framework of a Crisis Paradigm developed from field research with battered women and their families. They include mechanisms such as support groups which link crisis service to the long-term needs of battered women, and systematic approaches to removing the obstacles which keep women victimized. An Assessment and Service Planning Guide (ASPG) is proposed for inclusion in routine health care of abused women. The article concludes with strategies for preventing violence at interpersonal and societal levels.
