Trauma- and Violence-Informed Care Practices in the Emergency Department for Survivors of Intimate Partner Violence
In this qualitative study of TVIC for IPV survivors in the ED, alignment with TVIC was facilitated by acknowledging past experiences, prioritizing collaboration, and addressing comprehensive needs. Lack of privacy, language barriers, and directive communication styles hindered TVIC alignment. Without TVIC, EDs may retraumatize IPV survivors, undermining their potential to serve as critical points of intervention.
