Enhancing Nursing Practice: Insights from Intimate Partner Violence Research in China

Enhancing Nursing Practice: Insights from Intimate Partner Violence Research in China

The issue of intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant public health concern worldwide. In China, the prevalence and impact of IPV have been increasingly studied, with a focus on how nursing professionals can play a pivotal role in addressing this issue. The scoping review titled "Nursing research on intimate partner violence in China: A scoping review" provides a comprehensive analysis of the current state of nursing research on IPV across mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan. This blog aims to highlight key findings from the review and suggest ways practitioners can enhance their skills and contribute to further research.

Understanding the Scope of IPV in China

The review reveals that responses to IPV vary significantly across the regions studied. While Hong Kong and Taiwan have made substantial progress in integrating IPV into nursing education and practice, mainland China and Macao lag behind in both research quantity and quality. The lifetime prevalence of IPV among women in these regions ranges from 17.4% to 24.5%, with psychological violence being the most common form.

Key Findings for Practitioners

Opportunities for Further Research

The review underscores the need for more comprehensive research on IPV in mainland China and Macao. Practitioners are encouraged to engage in multidisciplinary collaborations to enhance the scope and impact of their studies. Areas ripe for exploration include:

Conclusion

Nurses are uniquely positioned to respond to intimate partner violence due to their frontline role in healthcare delivery. By leveraging insights from existing research and engaging in further studies, practitioners can significantly contribute to improving outcomes for IPV victims.
