TY - JOUR PY - 1994// TI - Taking a pro-active approach: communicating with women experiencing violence from a known man in the emergency department JO - Accident and emergency nursing A1 - Ingram, R. SP - 143 EP - 148 VL - 2 IS - 3 N2 - Studies have shown that as many as 35% of women attending Accident and Emergency units do so as a result of their experience of violence from a known man. Far fewer women are currently identified as attending for those reasons. This article outlines the factors behind this discrepancy and describes how Accident and Emergency units can take a proactive approach, enabling staff to enable women to take positive steps towards living free from violence and abuse.
