title: Children of battered women: worries about their mothers.
abstract: Children of battered women report a variety of worries about their mothers. In a study of 50 children (ages 10-17 years) from 5 battered women's shelters, children revealed worries about potential hazards and actual health hazards regarding their mothers. Nursing attention to worries provides information about the emotional lives of these children and helps them deal with expressed concerns.
