Domestic abuse: nurses experience it too
-
Presentation
Domestic abuse is widespread, and people working in health and social care roles are well-placed to respond. But what about nurses who are themselves victim-survivors of domestic abuse? Surely that’s a rarity…Past and current research will be presented, highlighting the increased prevalence and the additional challenges faced by nurses around help-seeking, including problematic profession-based societal expectations. We will conclude by covering some of the practical ways that each of us can offer support to our colleagues.
