Domestic and family violence (DFV) is a profound health concern, placing women at a disproportionate risk of injury or death. Research shows that women who experience DFV have higher rates of physical illness than women who do not, resulting in more frequent contact with healthcare providers, which creates an opportunity for intervention. Video-based interventions may provide a beneficial, accessible, and cost-effective method to increase awareness and help-seeking behaviours in women who may be experiencing DFV. This review evaluated the effectiveness of video interventions targeted at women within healthcare settings and assessed the characteristics of these videos to inform future developments. We conducted a systematic review of key databases (MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Scopus, Web of Science). Twelve articles describing seven trials underwent quality appraisal (QuADS) and were included in the review. Interventions were either standalone videos or embedded within DFV screening processes. Findings suggest that video interventions have the potential to improve help-seeking behaviours related to DFV; however, no effect was observed on quantitative measures of knowledge or quality of life. Although findings were mixed, feedback from women and healthcare staff was favourable. Video interventions appeared to be most effective when shown in private settings prior to appointments with healthcare providers, when videos could prompt further discussion with healthcare staff. Further research is recommended to identify the optimal format of delivery that aligns with women's needs for discretion and safety.

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is limited...

Coronary Artery Disease V: Interprofessional Care

Interprofessional care for coronary artery disease includes pharmacological therapy and revascularization procedures.Pharmacological therapy for Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) aims to manage symptoms, prevent complications, and improve patient outcomes through various classes of medications:Antiplatelet Agents:Aspirin and Clopidogrel: These medications inhibit platelet aggregation, preventing blood clots, which is crucial for avoiding heart attacks and strokes. Doctors often prescribe these...

Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions

Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:
Community Based Intervention01:30

Community Based Intervention

Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.
Foundations of Community Mental Health Programs
Central to the success of community-based interventions is the...

Acute Coronary Syndrome IV: Interprofessional Care

IntroductionThe management of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) aims to minimize myocardial damage, preserve myocardial function, and prevent complications.Initial ManagementInpatient management involves continuous cardiac monitoring, preferably in an ICU, focusing on blood pressure, serum sodium, potassium, and creatinine levels, and urine output. Ongoing pharmacologic management is crucial for stabilizing the patient.Supplemental Oxygen: Administer supplemental oxygen if oxygen saturation is...
Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-I01:21

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-I

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care.
Physicians
The physician's primary responsibility is to diagnose illness and direct the medical or surgical treatment of the condition. The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution itself.
