Abstract

One of the most perplexing issues for nurses working with abused women is the extent of violence experienced by teen-agers. This article presents research findings from a study of pregnant women and teen-agers in Baltimore and Houston that found 32% of pregnant teen-agers reported having been physically or sexually abused in the prior year. The rate of abuse during pregnancy was 22% for teen-agers. Teen-age violence is discussed in terms of possible reasons for teen-agers to be reluctant to report abuse and nursing considerations in the assessment and intervention of adolescents experiencing abuse.

摘要

对于照顾受虐妇女的护士来说，最令人困惑的问题之一是青少年遭受暴力的程度。本文介绍了一项针对巴尔的摩和休斯顿的孕妇及青少年的研究结果，该研究发现32%的怀孕青少年报告在前一年遭受过身体或性虐待。青少年在孕期遭受虐待的比例为22%。本文从青少年不愿报告虐待行为的可能原因以及在评估和干预受虐青少年时的护理考量等方面探讨了青少年暴力问题。
