This study examines conceptualizations of violence against women in U.S. nursing textbooks published from 1995 to 2005. Framing this pivotal decade, the federal Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) was passed and renewed. The American Nurses Association, the National League for Nursing, and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing also recognized violence against women as a health care priority.
Sampling 107 generalist nursing textbooks from 1995 to 2005, the current study analyzes textbook terminologies, arguments, and protocols. Textbooks including violence were empirically tested for their application of gender neutral, symmetrical, and asymmetrical theoretical frameworks.
Over 40% of generalist textbooks did not mention violence against women. Despite the VAWA in 1994 and broad recognition across national nursing organizations, textbooks did not change with regard to their treatment of violence over the next decade.
The frameworks that nursing textbooks use may foster challenges for nurses in recognizing, supporting, and assisting women who are victims/survivors of violence. [J Nurs Educ. 2017;56(3):164-169.].
本研究考察了1995年至2005年出版的美国护理教科书中对暴力侵害妇女行为的概念界定。在这个关键的十年期间，联邦《暴力侵害妇女法》（VAWA）获得通过并得以重新授权。美国护士协会、全国护理联盟以及美国护理学院协会也将暴力侵害妇女行为视为医疗保健的重点问题。
本研究从1995年至2005年抽取了107本通用护理教科书，分析了教科书中的术语、论点和方案。对包含暴力内容的教科书就其对性别中立、对称和不对称理论框架的应用进行了实证检验。
超过40%的通用教科书未提及暴力侵害妇女行为。尽管1994年通过了《暴力侵害妇女法》且全国护理组织普遍予以认可，但在接下来的十年里，教科书在对待暴力问题上并未有所改变。
护理教科书所采用的框架可能会给护士在识别、支持和协助遭受暴力的女性受害者/幸存者方面带来挑战。[《护理教育杂志》。2017年；56(3):164 - 169。]
