Family Violence
By: Agung Diah Wulandari
Introduction • Family violence is one of public health issues. Nurses caring for victims of this type of violence are often unaware that it is occurring within the families of their patients. • Child abuse, domestic violence (also called intimate partner abuse), and elder abuse can lead to life-long emotional and physical problems for the victims. • Family violence is often part of the history of violent criminals and runaways. • Victims are often too fearful or ashamed to report abuse, so that a violent family situation often goes unnoticed by outsiders. • Health-care professionals must recognize the signs of abuse. Child Abuse • Child abuse includes physical and emotional abuse, neglect, and sexual abuse, and occurs at all socioeconomic levels. • The youngest children (less than 4 years of age) are the most vulnerable and the most likely to die from abuse or neglect. • Many children have been victims of this violence because they depend on others (adults) for all their needs. Parents are the most common abusers. • Shaken baby syndrome is a form of child abuse that contributes to infant deaths each year. Sexual Abuse • Girls are the most frequent victims of sexual abuse. • Eighty percent of sexually abused children know their abuser. • Long-term effects of sexual abuse include fear of intimacy, sexual problems, eating disorders, and an overwhelming sense of powerlessness. Victims may block out the memory of these incidents until later in life, when a major event or trauma triggers memory recall. • Exploiting children in pornography has been increasing with access to the Internet. Domestic Violence • Domestic violence most often refers to men abusing their female partners. • Like child abuse, domestic violence is found at all socioeconomic levels. Victims of abuse may endure physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. • The victim of the abuse may also be the killer in the future because of the past abuse experience. • One of the most frequently misunderstood factors in domestic violence is why these women remain with the abusers. It is important to understand that they often feel trapped and have little money, resources, or support, and fear being killed Elder Abuse • Elder abuse includes neglect as well as physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. • The abuser is often the victim’s caregiver, even including the elderly spouse. • Victims rarely report the abuse. They fear reprisals or abandonment because they are dependent on the caregiver. • Elder abuse can also be difficult to detect by professionals because common signs such as bruising and skin tears may be common in older populations. • The patient with dementia is particularly vulnerable because he or she is unable to speak up or will not be believed because of his or her intermittent confusion. TASK: • Please make a group consisting 5 members then make a role play about this topic (family violence). You can choose one of these kinds of family violence such as: child abuse, domestic violence or elder abuse.
