Description
Background: Individuals affected by family violence (FV) face a range of physical,
social, and psychological effects, disrupted family relationships, and mental health
issues. In Nigeria, FV incidents are often kept silent due to cultural norms and social
stigma, which prevent survivors from accessing essential care and support. Despite
the significant impact of this problem, research on context-specific healthcare and
support pathways remains limited.
Purpose: The study explored a nurse-led community-based approach to
preventing and mitigating FV’s impact.
Methods: The study employed an exploratory qualitative case study design using
an intervention development model. Conducted in Ondo State, data were collected
through semi-structured interviews (n=18) and focus group discussions (n=92)
across three senatorial districts and were analysed using content and thematic
analysis.
Results: The analysis led to the development of a three-component FV intervention
consisting of (1) a training manual for nurses, (2) a clinical intervention pathway,
and (3) management guidelines for nurses to identify and care for survivors.
Conclusion: The intervention offers a culturally appropriate, context-specific
framework to strengthen nurses’ capacity to address FV in Nigeria and may serve as
a model for integrating FV management into primary healthcare practice.
