Millions of women worldwide are victims of partner violence annually and their children are at-risk for psychological and physical dysfunctions. A total of 300 children (ages 18 months to 16 years), whose abused mothers sought safe shelter or a protection order for the first time, were studied. Data revealed internalizing behaviors, such as depression and externalizing behaviors, such as bullying decreased 4 months after mothers obtained help. Children's scores from the shelter group indicated more dysfunction. Although no direct program was offered to the children studied, routine child care presents opportunities for nurses in pediatric settings to assess mothers for abuse and intervene with guided referrals and safety information that may promote better child functioning.
全球每年有数百万女性成为伴侣暴力的受害者，她们的孩子有出现心理和生理功能障碍的风险。对300名儿童（年龄在18个月至16岁之间）进行了研究，这些儿童受虐待的母亲首次寻求安全庇护所或保护令。数据显示，母亲获得帮助4个月后，内化行为（如抑郁）和外化行为（如欺凌）有所减少。庇护组儿童的得分显示功能障碍更多。尽管没有为所研究的儿童提供直接的项目，但常规儿童护理为儿科环境中的护士提供了机会，以评估母亲是否遭受虐待，并通过有指导的转诊和安全信息进行干预，这可能促进儿童更好地发挥功能。
