| Aim: Violence against women is a leading public health issue that poses a threat to every woman's life. It has a negative physical, psychological, social, cultural, and economic impact on women. The study aimed to examine the nature, location, level of injury, and treatment needs of women who were victims of domestic violence, as well as their previous psychiatric admissions and diagnoses. Material and Methods: This quantitative study retrospectively reviewed the records of 203 women who were presented to the emergency department for cases of domestic violence. This study examined the forms of domestic violence, forensic records, and medical history of these women. Results: The mean age of the women was 32.62 +/- 11.62 (16-75) years. It was found that 72.4% of them were married, and 8.37% (n = 17) were exposed to violence during pregnancy. Moreover, 93.6% of these victims were exposed to physical violence, and 90.6% had blunt injuries. Most injuries (65.1%) were observed in the head area. Bone fractures were found in 4.9% (n = 10) of the cases, of which 60% were nasal fractures. Although 195 women were treated as outpatients, six required hospitalization, and two women died. Discussion: Because emergency services are often the first point of contact for women who have been victims of violence, emergency medicine physicians must be able to suspect and diagnose all types of assault. They are usually present more frequently than other healthcare personnel, especially in busy emergency departments. |
