On any given day during a nursing shift, you might encounter someone who is in an abusive relationship, and you may not be aware. Nurses entered healthcare to be able to help people, and though it might not always look the same, there is always a way. Patients who enter your healthcare organization exhibiting signs of DV may not be seeking the help nurses may want to provide.

As brilliant as nurses are, the abuse education included in nursing programs was pretty basic. Healthcare organizations can implement specific training opportunities for staff to understand and better identify domestic violence, as well as implement policies and procedures to ensure staff is better equipped to understand the topic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mandated Reporting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Each state has laws about mandated reporting of suspected abuse. In general, nurses are required to report suspected abuse for those under the age of 18 (child abuse), dependent adults who are unable to care for themselves (dependent adult abuse), or elderly adults (<a href=\"..\/courses\/elder-abuse-dependent-adult-ceu\">elder abuse<\/a>). In certain trauma victims, some state laws may require reporting as well.\u00a0Adult patients who are competent and do not meet one of the above conditions typically have the right to decline reporting abuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> A number of states require nurses and other healthcare professionals to take CEUs on domestic violence, child abuse:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"..\/courses\/ny-child-abuse-mandated-reporter-training\">New York Child Abuse Course<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"..\/courses\/pa-act-31-training-child-abuse-recognition-2-hours\">Pennsylvania Act 31 Child Abuse Training<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"..\/courses\/fl-domestic-violence-continuing-education-for-nurses\">Florida Domestic Violence Education\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"..\/courses\/ky-domestic-violence-continuing-education\">Kentucky Domestic Violence Education\u00a0CEU<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As nurses, it is our job to educate, support, and inform patients. Healthcare staff should familiarize themselves with resources available to victims within their community. Even if a patient wishes not to pursue charges, it is essential to educate the patient on safe practices and provide them with resources if they ever choose to seek help.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be mindful that if the abuser finds out that resources or education have been provided, they may become abusive again toward the patient. It is important to seek a way to provide resources discreetly when possible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Domestic Violence Resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehotline.org\/get-help\/domestic-violence-local-resources\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">domestic violence resources <\/a>available for help in every state. In general, review what your state offers for domestic violence victims in terms of counseling, advocacy, domestic violence shelters, and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"341\" src=\"https:\/\/wildirismedicaleducation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023-03-sub-wide-pic-blog-nursing-domestic-violence-showing-empathy-1024x341.jpg\" alt=\"Taking the time to show you care.\" class=\"wp-image-2756\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wildirismedicaleducation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023-03-sub-wide-pic-blog-nursing-domestic-violence-showing-empathy-1024x341.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wildirismedicaleducation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023-03-sub-wide-pic-blog-nursing-domestic-violence-showing-empathy-300x100.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wildirismedicaleducation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023-03-sub-wide-pic-blog-nursing-domestic-violence-showing-empathy-768x256.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wildirismedicaleducation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023-03-sub-wide-pic-blog-nursing-domestic-violence-showing-empathy.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As nurses, we went into healthcare to help people; it\u2019s in our nature. As common as domestic violence is, it is not always easy to identify. It\u2019s even harder to help victims escape. Did you know that it takes an average of seven attempts for a person to leave their abusive relationship? Know that leaving is the most dangerous time, so any education and resources you can provide to patients may help them when they are ready to make their safety plans.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">References:&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.massnurses.org\/health-and-safety\/additional-reading\/domestic-violence\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Domestic Violence Recognition &amp; Intervention<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><a href=\"..\/newsletter\/sign-up\">Sign up for our newsletter email list<\/a>\u00a0and like us on\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/wildirismedical\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/wildirismedicaleducation\/\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>\u00a0to be among the first to know about all our special discounts and offers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Wild Iris Medical Education:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Wild Iris Medical Education, Inc., is a privately held, woman-owned company providing online healthcare continuing education.
