为了了解提供者如何更有效地解决伴侣虐待问题，作者对医院家庭暴力（DV）项目的49名客户进行了半结构化访谈。由于幸存者披露虐待行为可能会面临严重的后果，因此往往需要在他们的生活环境和/或有一个理解和关心他们的人在场的情况下才能披露。在披露之后，幸存者经常发现转介到内部家庭暴力项目最有帮助，以及其他情感和实际支持。这项研究的发现揭示了医疗服务提供者更有效地应对这一普遍问题的其他方法。
To understand how providers can address partner abuse more effectively, the authors conducted semistructured interviews with 49 clients of a hospital-based domestic violence (DV) program. Due to the potentially grave consequences survivors face for disclosing abuse, it often took the right combination of circumstances in their lives and/or the presence of an understanding and caring provider for them to disclose. Following disclosure, survivors frequently found referral to the in-house DV program most helpful, along with other emotional and practical support. Findings from this study reveal additional ways in which health care providers call respond more effectively to this pervasive problem.
