Intimate partner violence has a significant social and public health impact. Outcomes of these educational programmes are not always rigorously evaluated for staff or client-based outcomes.įurther research is needed to evaluate existing intimate partner violence education programmes for nurses/midwives and identify the most effective strategies to promote improved clinical practice and outcomes for abused women and their families. Existing intimate partner violence education strategies are varied in implementation, method and content. This review demonstrates low levels of undergraduate or postregistration intimate partner violence education for nursing/midwifery staff and students. Reference lists from included articles were searched for relevant literature as were several grey literature sources. Search of databases: CINHAL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, PROQUEST Central and COCHRANE Library. Scoping review of relevant literature from January 2000 to July 2015. Healthcare professionals including nurses/midwives in hospital- and community-based environments are likely to encounter affected women and need educational strategies that support best practice and promote positive outcomes for abused women and their families. Intimate partner violence is a global issue affecting a significant portion of the community.

The majority (75%) of included studies were qualitative or mixed method.

Results: Of 2185 records screened, 63 full-text papers were assessed for eligibility, which yielded 12 publications for inclusion-11 from the United Kingdom and one from Sweden. Studies were critically appraised for methodological quality and data extracted, coded and analysed for themes in keeping with the review aims and key findings of each study.
