Abstract

Older women can be victims of intimate partner violence (IPV), and home healthcare clinicians should know what they can do. Although there is no instrument specific to screening for IPV in older women within the home environment, home healthcare clinicians can use currently available resources and lobby for better resources to screen for and serve older women who may be victims of IPV. Forensic nursing education can provide additional skills to identify possible victims of violence, gather evidence, document findings, and provide treatment and referrals.
