Abstract

PURPOSE: To identify nursing diagnoses and interventions applicable for post-acute-phase battered women. METHODS: Eight battered women were interviewed twice for 2 hours. Gordon's functional health patterns provided the framework for data collection. FINDINGS: Fifty-three nursing diagnoses and 52 nursing interventions were indicated in the data; 24 nursing diagnoses and 26 nursing interventions were present in all participants' data. CONCLUSIONS: With the use of comprehensive interventions, nurses can make a major contribution to society by enabling battered women to move to a more protected lifestyle.
