Physical aggression against psychiatric inpatients by family members and partners

Arbor, Inc., in Media, Pennsylvania, USA.
The rate of recent violence against newly admitted psychiatric inpatients
by partners and family members was assessed. Sixty-nine patients who had a
partner or contact with a family member participated. A high proportion of
respondents reported physical victimization by either their partner (62.8
percent) or a family member (45.8 percent). Physical abuse was rarely
documented in medical charts, and most respondents did not consider the
violence they experienced to be abuse. Almost half of the respondents met
criteria for posttraumatic stress disorder in response to their physical
victimization. The findings underscore the importance of assessing recent
partner and family violence in the routine evaluation of psychiatric
patients.
