TY - JOUR PY - 2002// TI - Listening to women: culturally tailoring the violence prevention guidelines from the put prevention into practice program JO - Journal of the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners A1 - Shoultz, Jan A1 - Phillion, Nancy A1 - Noone, Joanne A1 - Tanner, Barbara SP - 307 EP - 315 VL - 14 IS - 7 N2 - PURPOSE: To develop five reliable and valid (culturally tailored) guidelines focused on the prevention of violence as presented in the violence prevention guideline of the Put Prevention into Practice Clinician's Handbook on Preventative Services (PPIP). DATA SOURCES: The data collection for this qualitative, descriptive design of naturalistic inquiry was focus group interviews with five different ethnic groups of women (Caucasian, Filipino, Hawaiian, Japanese and Hispanic) using a semi-structured interview guide. CONCLUSIONS: The women interviewed provided a variety of suggestions for adaptations to the guideline. Cultural similarities and differences are presented. Development of a nonjudgmental and trusting relationship is key to disclosure. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Violence against women is recognized as a major public health problem. Little is known about the effectiveness of standardized interventions such as those contained in the PPIP Handbook. Even less is known about the efficacy of such protocols within culturally diverse populations. Providers should consider adaptation of the guideline based on the individual relationship with the client. The next phase of this research is to implement the culturally tailored adaptations of these guidelines and test their effectiveness.
