This course is designed to give the healthcare professional an overview of the definition, statistics, and patterns of domestic violence in America. The learner will understand this phenomenon from the perspective of both the batterer and the victim. They will also identify the physical, emotional, and psychological evidence of domestic violence. They will confront the factors that make caregivers reluctant to intervene in these situations and take action to help the victim.
Also, in this updated course, the prevalence and the various types of domestic violence in the United States today will be discussed. Intimate partner violence, elder abuse and neglect, and child abuse and neglect will be presented, as well as appropriate protocols and tools the healthcare professional should utilize when screening a potential domestic violence victim. Also presented is the significant responsibility the healthcare professional has in combating and eliminating domestic violence. |
