The problems of battered women have recently been highlighted. They consult doctors, who can be an important source of help. We examined their initial presenting complaint to general practitioners. Questionnaires were sent to 27 London refuges for battered women and to 100 randomly selected general practitioners. Seventy-two women and 49 doctors replied. The results indicated that these women are more likely to present with psychological symptoms. Many cases are not detected because the battering is concealed. The attitude of doctors may prevent these patients discussing their real problems. Further studies are needed.
受虐妇女的问题最近受到了关注。她们会去咨询医生，而医生可能是一个重要的帮助来源。我们调查了她们向全科医生最初提出的主诉。问卷被发送到伦敦的27个受虐妇女庇护所和100名随机挑选的全科医生手中。72名妇女和49名医生进行了回复。结果表明，这些妇女更有可能出现心理症状。许多案例未被发现是因为殴打行为被隐瞒了。医生的态度可能会阻碍这些患者讨论她们的实际问题。还需要进一步的研究。
