Abstract
Nonprobability sampling, participant self-reports, and relatively small sample sizes were frequently encountered limitations across studies. Heterogeneity of women's ages and race/ethnicities also limited comparisons. However, existing research provides a beginning framework to support practice and future inquiry.Contribution to Emergency Nursing Practice
- Prevalence estimates suggest nonfatal intimate partner strangulation (NF-IPS) is higher in women than in men.
- Injuries after NF-IPS may be subtle, covert, or minimized yet can result in serious health outcomes.
- Screening, assessment, and objective documentation of findings by emergency nurses can improve recognition of NF-IPS, support appropriate care plans and referrals, and help future legal recourse.
- Additional research is needed to test screening, imaging and treatment protocols, use of emerging technology to enhance assessments, and long-term health outcomes associated with NF-IPS.
