In common, emergency room (ER) nurses are the frontline personnel to provide health care cares for marital violence victims. The victims' perception of quality of care provided by emergency nurses can be enhanced if ER nurses are fully aware of the needs and expectations for each patient. This study aims to determine the perceptions and expectations marital violence victims have of the emergency care provided by ER nurses. ER nurses can use the study results as a reference tool as they prepare to provide optimal future care for this class of patients. This study follows a cross-sectional research design that employs purposive sampling to select 50 of marital violence as taken from police reports. In addition, the relevant data for this study was collected using a structured questionnaire entitled "The perceptions and expectations of emergency nursing care from marital violence victims." The results of this study found that the perceptions of marital violence victims of the ER nursing care varied with the victims' nationality, cultural subtype and nuclear family structure. Victims with a higher ability to cope with difficult life situations typically had better overall perceptions of the care provided by ER nurses. The victims who were more resilient to life stress events were less susceptible to believe myths regarding marital violence. The greatest ER nursing care request of the victims was for a "shortened length of stay or treatment time," followed by a need for "establishing a secure and discreet inspection and examination environment." The victims also expressed a need from the hospital to provide a "complete medical certificate of diagnosis" for their forensic purpose. The findings of this study not only provided a valuable reference for Taiwanese ER nurses but also evoked emphasis on forensic nursing issues in the field of nursing. |
