Abstract

Nurses need to understand the theoretic debates that attempt to explain why men batter women. Nurses can participate more effectively in preventing and reducing the incidence of physical violence directed against women in intimate relationships. A raised feminist consciousness will expand the nurse's repertoire of interventions to assist in the identification and treatment of victims.
