GPHC records high rate of victims of domestic violence

The year 2010 has been thought of by many as a “bad y e a r f o r w o m a n ” ; m a i n l y b ec a u s e o f t h e b r u t a l d e a t h s o f n umerous women due to domestic violence. More so, during the three-month period JanuaryM a r c h ; s i x w o m e n w e r e m u rdered by their male partners. It is possibly because of this harsh reality that students o f t h e Va n d e r b i l t U n i v e r s i t y (Canada) in collaboration with Navindranaught Rambaran, H O D , A c c i d e n t a n d E m e rg e n c y U n i t , i n J u l y, c o n d u c t e d a r e search project pertaining to the prevalence of “intimate partner violence” (IPV) in the Accident a n d E m e rg e n c y U n i t ( A & E ) o f t h e G e o rg e t o w n P u b l i c H o s p ital Corporation (GPHC). Over a period of time, GPHC has been working extensively w i t h t h e u n i v e r s i t y. A c c o r d i n g t o t h e r e s e a r c hers, over a two-week period, 3 8 p e r s o n s s o u g h t m e d i c a l a ttention from the institution as a result of domestic abuse. Of the 38 victims, 31 were of the f e m a l e g e n d e r. The injuries were said to h a v e b e e n m o s t l y s o f t i s s u e i njuries— lacerations to the face, h e a d o r e x t r e m i t i e s . O n e p at i e n t w a s a d m i t t e d t o t h e h o spital. According to the research 73.4 per cent of the assaults occurred in the homes of the victims. The research has shown that the women were between the ages of 20 and 81 with the mean age being 34. It revealed that about one in six women presenting at the GPHC A&E w i t h a n i n j u r y a d m i t t e d t o b eing a victim of intimate partner violence (IPV). A c c o r d i n g t o t h e r e s e a r c hers, the objective of the study was to “look at the prevalence of intimate partner violence in the GPHC A&E department among patients presenting with traumatic injuries”. The researchers stated that patients were specifically a s k e d i f t h e i n j u r y h a d b e e n i nf l i c t e d b y a d o m e s t i c p a r t n e r. Only patients aged 18 and over were recorded in the research. I t w a s p o i n t e d o u t t h a t i ntimate partner violence occurs g l o b a l l y a n d a ff e c t s a l l s o c i e ties but it is considered to be a preventable problem. T h e r e s e a r c h e r s m a d e r e f e rence to the fact that the rate of IPV in men is low but “not insignificant”. The researchers said that the frequent of IPV in the Guyanese population suggests that identification and intervention programmes as well as resident a n d s t a ff E d u c a t i o n a b o u t I P V should be High priority for the GPHC A&E.
