Introduction

Also see elder abuse.

Classification

Types of abuse:

Etiology

Risk factors:

  • all socioeconomic classes
  • all racial backgrounds
  • alcohol or drug use involved in 50% of cases
  • child-abuse may increase likelihood of perpetration of domestic violence as adult[5]

Epidemiology

  • 33% of women
  • 4% of elderly individuals
  • 10-25% of adolescents: 20% of girls, 10% of boys[13]

Populations at risk:

  • partner abuse - women at highest risk
  • children
  • elderly

Clinical manifestations

* also see child abuse

Management

Provider's primary responsibilities

  • assist with health
  • assess for safety
  • maintain supportive relationship[2]

Assess for risk of homicide, suicide, or serious injury

  • escalating threats or abuse
  • escalating level of fear
  • stalking
  • weapons, especially firearms in the home
  • sexual assault and abuse during pregnancy
  • recent separation or abuser's awareness of impending separation

Safety planning

  • determine if the patient wants to leave home, return home, or have the abuser removed from the home
  • refer to domestic violence advocate

Screening:

  • USPSTF recommends all women of reproductive age (14-46 years) be screened for intimate partner violence[8]
  • evidence is insufficient to screen for intimate partner violence in healthcare settings (BMJ study)[12]
  • USPSTF finds not enough evidence to determine whether screening all elderly adults & adults with physical or mental disabilities would reduce abuse, physical or mental harm, or mortality[8]

Reporting:[5]

  • NOT reportable UNLESS provider is treating an injury he/she suspects is the result of domestic violence. Then the provider is mandated to report it to the police.

Notes

Adolescent abuse:

Partner abuse:

  • women are 6X more likely to experience domestic violence
  • women in the US are more likely to be injured, raped, or murdered by male partner than by any other individual
  • 25-33% of female homicide victims are killed by their male partner
  • ask about partner abuse
    • introduce the topic
      • 'These days many people are exposed to violence in some form.'
      • 'It is our routine procedure to ask adult patients about their exposure to violence.'
    • ask screening questions
      • 'Has anyone threatened you or actually used a knife or gun to scare or hurt you?'
      • 'Has anyone choked, kicked, bit or punched you?'
      • 'Has anyone forced or coerced you into having sex?'
      • 'Have you been afraid that a current or former intimate partner would hurt you physically?'
    • ask about reproductive & sexual coercion[9]
    • screening for partner abuse helps depression, but does not improve quality of life[10]
  • increased smoking & problem drinking may be a clue[4]
  • presentation
  • physical findings
  • intervention
    • assess readiness for change
    • assess safety
    • referral services
    • report - firearms & illegal acts
    • follow-up

Phases of abuse:

Domestic violence & pregnancy:

Domestic violence in the family

  • concurrent child abuse & partner abuse occurs (30%)
  • children who observe abuse are more likely to have behavioral & academic problems & to react with violence to situations
