Domestic violence victims in the emergency department. New findings.
Four hundred ninety-two male and female patients from a general hospital emergency department were surveyed to elicit information on the extent and nature of domestic violence among this population. The patient's emergency department medical records were also reviewed. Twenty-two percent of the patients identified themselves on the survey as domestic violence victims. New findings in the areas of medical classification, nature of the abusive relationship, and patients' perceived treatment needs contribute to refining the battered spouse syndrome and are helpful in planning therapeutic intervention. The authors conclude that domestic violence victims should be identified and offered assistance while in the emergency department and outline a crisis intervention plan.

Movement therapy with the aged.
This study examined effect of participation in a movement therapy group on morale and self-esteem in a population of institutionalized aged persons. Control group subjects participated in the usual treatment program at the nursing home, and experimental group subjects participated in a series of movement therapy sessions. Scores on morale and self-esteem scales were used to compare differences between the groups. Movement therapy group members demonstrated greater improvement in total morale and attitudes toward their own aging. Findings from the study contribute to the body of knowledge of nursing science as well as to gerontological theory development by further defining types of activities which are compatible with successful aging and by providing empirical support for specific nursing interventions.
