When health care providers do not assess routinely for abuse, it most likely is a result of the powerful social myths surrounding domestic violence and a lack of knowledge about incidence, prevalence, and the dynamics of abuse. This article examines commonly held myths as well as personal and social constraints that cause practitioners not to assess for abuse. Additionally, it presents guidelines for the assessment of individual women, as well as professional role development in the area of abuse of women and suggests that nurse-midwives are generally well positioned to assess their clients for the health problems of violence and abuse.
当医疗服务提供者不经常对虐待情况进行评估时，这很可能是由于围绕家庭暴力的强大社会神话以及对虐待发生率、流行程度和动态缺乏了解所致。本文探讨了一些普遍存在的误解以及导致从业者不进行虐待评估的个人和社会限制因素。此外，还提出了对个别女性进行评估的指导方针，以及在妇女虐待领域的专业角色发展，并指出助产士通常处于有利地位，能够为其客户评估暴力和虐待带来的健康问题。
