Over the past decade advocates for battered women in the health care system, citing the large number of battered women who come to health care settings, have proposed interventions and trainings for health care personnel on behalf of battered women. However, little is currently known about the effectiveness of intervention efforts. This paper presents observation data on characteristics of battered women in four hospital Emergency Departments (EDs) and on staff responses to battered women in these EDs. The data show definite patterns in the women's characteristics and in staff responses to battered women. These data raise issues which should be considered in the researching and designing of interventions for battered women in the health care system.
在过去十年里，医疗系统中受虐妇女的倡导者们，鉴于大量受虐妇女前往医疗机构就诊，提议为医护人员开展针对受虐妇女的干预措施和培训。然而，目前对于干预措施的效果知之甚少。本文呈现了四个医院急诊科中受虐妇女特征的观察数据，以及这些急诊科工作人员对受虐妇女的反应。数据显示了妇女特征以及工作人员对受虐妇女反应方面的明确模式。这些数据提出了在研究和设计针对医疗系统中受虐妇女的干预措施时应予以考虑的问题。
