  • I’ll Try and Make Myself as Small as Possible

    Open AccessJessica Ison, Kirsty Forsdike et al.ARTICLEViolence Against Women2024Citada por: 7

    Public transport is a known hotspot for sexual violence and harassment. Through 41 interviews with women and gender-diverse people who have experienced sexual violence and harassment on public transport, we found that women and gender-diverse people engage in extensive “safety work,” such as changing their behavior, strategizing, and planning. Safety work takes considerable time and effort, often leaving participants feeling stressed. However, pa…

  • Seeking Help From Primary Health-Care Providers in High-Income Countries

    Open AccessMolly Allen-Leap, Leesa Hooker et al.ARTICLETrauma Violence & Abuse2023

    Migrant and refugee women experiencing domestic violence (DV) may face compounding factors that impact their ability and experiences of seeking help. Health-care providers are in a unique position to identify and assist victims of DV, however, they often lack the confidence and training to do this well. Little is known of the health-care experiences of migrant and refugee women experiencing abuse when they access primary health care (PHC). Using …

  • A Systematic Review of Culturally Competent Family Violence Responses to Women in Primary Care

    Open AccessBijaya Pokharel, Jane Yelland et al.ARTICLETrauma Violence & Abuse2023

    Existing culturally competent models of care and guidelines are directing the responses of healthcare providers to culturally diverse populations. However, there is a lack of research into how or if these models and guidelines can be translated into the primary care context of family violence. This systematic review aimed to synthesise published evidence to explore the components of culturally competent primary care response for women experiencin…

  • Who decides to have sex? Exploring the perceptions of Timorese women and men through a reproductive justice lens

    Heather Julie Wallace, Susan Mcdonald et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2020

    Despite national policies to support sexual rights, Timorese women are constrained when making sexual and reproductive health decisions. Contextual understanding of sexual decision making is vital for effective engagement by sexual and reproductive health service providers with communities. An intersectional reproductive justice approach broadens the sexual rights lens allowing for an examination of multi-system factors impacting on sexual rights…

    Open AccessLeesa Hooker, Leonie Versteegh et al.ARTICLEHealth & Social Care in the…2019Referencias: 1

    New mothers may face substantial physical and mental health challenges during the postpartum period and are at a greater risk of intimate partner violence. Healthcare services provide support, however, acknowledging a problem and seeking help for it can be difficult. Research on where postpartum women seek help and how helpful they perceive it is limited. Additionally, little is known of how these help-seeking behaviours differ between abused and…

  • Domestic violence against women, public policies and community health workers in Brazilian Primary Health Care

    Open AccessMarcos Claudio Signorelli, Angela Taft et al.ARTICLECiência & Saúde Coletiva2018

    Domestic violence creates multiple harms for women's health and is a ‘wicked problem’ for health professionals and public health systems. Brazil recently approved public policies to manage and care for women victims of domestic violence. Facing these policies, this study aimed to explore how domestic violence against women is usually managed in Brazilian primary health care, by investigating a basic health unit and its family health strategy.

  • What influences a woman’s decision to access contraception in Timor-Leste? Perceptions from Timorese women and men

    Heather Julie Wallace, Susan Mcdonald et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2018

    Timor-Leste's Maternal Mortality Ratio remains one of the highest in Asia. There is ample evidence that maternal deaths may be reduced substantially through the provision of good-quality modern methods of contraception. Many Timorese women wish to stop or delay having children. However, even when health services make contraception available, it does not mean that people will use it. Collaborating with Marie Stopes Timor-Leste, this qualitative re…

  • Body Mapping to Explore Reproductive Ethno-Physiological Beliefs and Knowledge of Contraception in Timor-Leste

    Open AccessHeather Julie Wallace, Susan Mcdonald et al.ARTICLEQualitative Health Research2018Citada por: 4Referencias: 44

    Maternal mortality remains a significant public health challenge for Timor-Leste. Although access to quality family planning measures may greatly reduce such deaths, consideration of indigenous perceptions, and how they influence reproductive health decision-making and behavior, is crucial if health services are to provide initiatives that are accepted and helpful in improving reproductive health outcomes. We aimed to demonstrate that body mappin…

    Open AccessLorna O’doherty, Lorna Jane O’Doherty et al.ARTICLEViolence Against Women2015Citada por: 6Referencias: 14

    Intimate partner violence has profound effects on women's identities. However, detailed examination of how abuse affects identity is lacking. We interviewed 14 diverse women (Australia), applying social identity theory to analyze their experiences of identity and help-seeking in health settings. The destabilizing effect of violence on social identities was strongly supported. Women concealed abuse to preserve a public identity. However, when the …

  • Ethical complexities of screening for depression and intimate partner violence (IPV) in intervention studies

    The four principles have been subjected to criticisms in recent years but they remain prominent in public health and medical research. We provide a set of simple, interrogative questions that are narrative and relationally driven which may assist to further evaluate the potential impacts of using screening to identify eligible research participants in intervention studies. A narrative and relational based approach requires seeing people as situat…

  • The power of social connection and support in improving health

    Open AccessRichard Small, Rhonda Small et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2011

    Examination of how social support has been conceptualised and enacted in interventions to date can be instructive in refining our thinking about the directions to be taken in future research.

  • Cost-Effectiveness of Health Care Interventions to Address Intimate Partner Violence

    Open AccessLisa Gold, Richard Norman et al.ARTICLEViolence Against Women2011Referencias: 3

    Intimate partner violence (IPV) creates a substantial burden of disease and significant costs to families, communities, and governments. Building the evidence for effective interventions to reduce violence and its sequelae requires increased use of economic evaluation to inform policy through the analysis of costs and potential savings of interventions. The authors review existing economic evaluations and present case studies of current research …
