title: Nurses' educational needs regarding battered women.
abstract: A study was conducted of nurses in rural hospitals to determine their knowledge of and educational needs regarding battered women. The results indicated that nurses had very low knowledge level regarding battered women. The vast majority had not studied this important issue either in nursing school or on the job and, as a result, wanted more staff development on the subject of battered women, with a focus on assessment and intervention with battered women.
