Abstract

This paper discusses domestic violence as a public health concern and a health administration issue. People affected by domestic violence, such as physical, mental, sexual, and financial abuse, experience higher rates of trauma leading to PTSD. This study explored healthcare interaction with victims of domestic violence. Effective communication, proper domestic violence training, and screening should be used and implemented in healthcare settings to support victims regardless of where they may be within the abuse cycle. This paper adds to the dialogue on domestic violence by pulling together other previous research and by offering tools that can be implemented in emergency rooms, urgent care facilities, and medical practices to recommend standard processes focused on identifying dangerous situations and giving victims the support they need.
