Don’t know” scores should be considered when assessing violence risk for youth in acute institutions
Commonly, relevant information to score violence risk assessment instruments is missing at the time of assessment. While there are indications that lack of information to score items, or "Don't know" scores, has clinical relevance, these items are commonly omitted or treated as "No" scores in research. The Violence Risk Assessment Checklist for Youth (V-RISK-Y) is a screening instrument designed to identify violence risk in youth aged 12-18. The …
Mandatory Reporting of Intimate Partner Violence: Knowledge Among Intimate Partner Violence Victims
Purpose Mandatory reporting intimate partner violence (MR-IPV) laws require professionals to report or prevent intimate partner violence (IPV). This directly affects individuals subjected to IPV who reach out for help, but there is limited research on whether IPV victims are aware of MR-IPV or are informed about it. The aim of the current study was to examine knowledge about MR-IPV among IPV victims. Methods Data consisted of questionnaire respon…
Compliance with mandatory reporting of intimate partner violence among professionals in Norway
Knowledge of the characteristics that are associated with professionals' compliance with MR-IPV is essential to better understand the application of MR-IPV, to implement practice that is consistent with law, and ultimately to prevent IPV. Further research is needed to explore the context of compliance with MR-IPV
Validation of a violence risk screening for youth in psychiatric inpatient care—a pilot study of V-Risk-Y
The reason for this study was the void of validated risk assessment screening tools for violence in adolescence psychiatry. Our aims were to test the predictive validity and feasibility of a pilot version of the Violence Risk Screening for Youth (V-RISK-Y). The V-RISK-Y was based on a violence risk screen for adults, the V-RISK-10, and adapted to adolescents, resulting in 12 risk items that are scored for (a) presence and (b) relevance for future…
The impact of a discarded diagnosis and focus on early warning signs of aggression on relations between user and municipal service providers - a narrative of a complex case
Mandatory Reporting of Intimate Partner Violence: A Mixed Methods Systematic Review
As one of the efforts to prevent intimate partner violence (IPV) and intimate partner homicide, countries have adopted legislation requiring professionals to report cases of IPV, or suspected IPV injuries, to the police or the criminal justice system. The term for this is mandatory reporting. In spite of its good intention, mandatory reporting of IPV is a controversial issue. The objective of this review was to systematically search for, appraise…
Strong Associations Between Childhood Victimization and Community Violence in Male Forensic Mental Health Patients
Background: Childhood abuse and neglect increase the risk of both mental disorders and violent behavior. Associations between child relational adversities and violent behavior have not been extensively investigated in forensic mental health settings. We asked whether the extent of child adversities predicts the extent of violence in the community in forensic mental health patients. Methods: We included 52 male patients at a medium security forens…

Attachment Characteristics Among Women Victimized in No, One, and Multiple IPV Relationships: A Case–Control Study
This cross-sectional study compared attachment characteristics among women victimized by intimate partner violence (IPV) in no, one, and multiple relationships ( N = 154). Results indicated that compared with the nonvictimized, victimized women had increased likelihood of higher attachment avoidance. Compared with women victimized in one relationship, women victimized in multiple relationships had higher likelihood of higher attachment anxiety sc…
Does Women’s Screening History Have Any Impact on Mammography Screening Attendance After Tailored Education: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Vignette Selection for Ethical Reflections: A Selection Procedure for Vignettes to Investigate Staff Reflections on the Ethical Challenges in Interaction with People with Intellectual Disabilities
Care staff in Norway usually work in the private homes of people with intellectual disabilities. Staff experience ethical challenges daily in their interactions with their clients. The aim of this paper is to introduce a vignette validation procedure for selection of practice-close vignettes that can be used to elicit and explore staff reflections on ethical challenges in their work. Staff participants were recruited from different municipalities…
Does Separation or Divorce Make any Difference? An Interactional Perspective on Intimate Partner Violence with Focus on Marital Status
Interactional Aspects of Intimate Partner Violence Result in Different Help-Seeking Behaviors in a Representative Sample of Women
Applying aspects of generalizability theory in preliminary validation of the Multifacet Interprofessional Collaboration Model (Pincom)
The methodology of generalizability theory is well suited for data with a complex facet structure as displayed in the present study. We recommend researchers to give domain specifications thorough attention when measuring IPC
An Interactional Perspective of Intimate Partner Violence: An In-depth Semi-structured Interview of a Representative Sample of Help-seeking Women
This article reports a study of women victimized by intimate partner violence (IPV). We describe three interactional aspects of IPV: (1) responses and conduct before, during, and after IPV episodes, (2) impact of alcohol and drug intoxication, and (3) Predictors of risk for IPV victimization in more than one partnership. A representative sample of 157 help-seeking women, recruited from family counseling offices, the police and shelters, were inte…

A Second Step in Development of a Checklist for Screening Risk for Violence in Acute Psychiatric Patients: Evaluation of Interrater Reliability of the Preliminary Scheme 33 1,2
The Acute Project is a research project conducted on acute psychiatric admission wards in Norway. The objective is to develop and validate a structured, easy-to-use screening checklist for assessment of risk for violence in patients both during their stay in the ward and after discharge. The Preliminary Scheme 33 is a 33-item screening checklist with content domain inspired by the Historical-Clinical-Risk Management Scheme (HCR–20), the Brøset Vi…

SCL‐90‐R profiles in a sample of severely violent psychiatric inpatients
A sample of 39 patients who had committed serious violent acts toward others were assessed with the revised Symptom Checklist (SCL‐90‐R). The SCL‐90‐R is a self‐report symptom inventory for the measurement of psychopathology in psychiatric and medical patients. In addition to the patients' self‐report, an observer‐rated SCL‐90‐R was obtained. This was accomplished by letting one pair of nurses complete SCL‐90‐R ratings for each patient. The first…
Inter-rater Reliability of the Report Form for Aggressive Episodes
Open-Area Seclusion in the Long-Term Treatment of Aggressive and Disruptive Psychotic Patients, an Introduction to a Ward Procedure
The clinical rationale and procedure of “open-area seclusion” as a treatment modality with psychotic patients is presented. This standard procedure was originally introduced as an alternative to arbitrary measures in response to aggressive and disruptive behavior. The seclusion area is locked, but the patient is never locked up alone in any single room. The method of open-area seclusion is composed of four overlapping phases: (1) assisting the pa…

Scale for the Prediction of Aggression and Dangerousness in Psychotic Patients, an Introduction
The design and theoretical bases of the Scale for the Prediction of Aggression and Dangerousness in Psychotic Patients (PAD) are described. The scale is based on an interactional understanding of aggressive behaviour in psychotic patients. This model emphasizes detailed analyses of each patient's situational and interactional vulnerability, in addition to personality variables, for improved prediction of aggressive behaviour. Situational vulnerab…
