We sought to determine the frequency of intimate partner violence by type in a large, clinic-based, nurse-administered screening and services intervention project.
A brief intimate partner violence screen, which included items to measure sexual and physical assaults and psychological battering (using the Women's Experience With Battering scale) was administered to consenting women receiving care at 1 of 8 rural clinics in South Carolina.
Between April 2002 and August 2005, 4945 eligible women were offered intimate partner violence screening, to which 3664 (74.1%) consented. Prevalence of intimate partner violence in a current (ongoing) relationship was 13.3%, and 939 women (25.6%) had experienced intimate partner violence at some point in the past 5 years. Of those ever experiencing intimate partner violence, the majority (65.6%) experienced both assaults and psychological battering; 10.1% experienced assault only, and 24.3% experienced psychological battering only. Most women (85.5%) currently experiencing both psychological battering and assaults stated that violence was a problem in their current relationship.
The intimate partner violence screening technique we used was feasible to implement, acceptable to women seeking health care at the targeted clinics, and indicated a high proportion of women reporting intimate partner violence in the past 5 years, with a majority of those women stating that such violence was a problem in their relationships. These findings demonstrated the viability of the screening technique, which supports the growing importance of implementing intimate partner violence screenings in clinical settings in order to reduce the prevalence of violence in intimate relationships.
我们试图在一个大型的、以诊所为基础的、由护士进行筛查和服务干预的项目中，按类型确定亲密伴侣暴力的发生率。
对在南卡罗来纳州8家农村诊所之一接受护理且同意参与的女性，进行一项简短的亲密伴侣暴力筛查，其中包括用于测量性侵犯、身体攻击和心理虐待的项目（使用《女性受虐经历量表》）。
在2002年4月至2005年8月期间，向4945名符合条件的女性提供了亲密伴侣暴力筛查，其中有3664名（74.1%）同意接受筛查。当前（正在进行的）关系中亲密伴侣暴力的发生率为13.3%，939名女性（25.6%）在过去5年中的某个时候曾经历过亲密伴侣暴力。在那些曾经历过亲密伴侣暴力的女性中，大多数（65.6%）既经历过攻击又经历过心理虐待；10.1%仅经历过攻击，24.3%仅经历过心理虐待。目前同时经历心理虐待和攻击的大多数女性（85.5%）表示，暴力是她们当前关系中的一个问题。
我们使用的亲密伴侣暴力筛查技术实施起来是可行的，在目标诊所寻求医疗保健的女性能够接受，并且表明在过去5年中有很大比例的女性报告遭受过亲密伴侣暴力，其中大多数女性表示这种暴力是她们关系中的一个问题。这些发现证明了筛查技术的可行性，这支持了在临床环境中实施亲密伴侣暴力筛查以降低亲密关系中暴力发生率的重要性日益增加。
