Safe family project: a training model to improve care to victims of domestic violence.
Hospitals must implement staff development programs to assure that nurses and other staff have requisite knowledge, attitudes, and skills to provide quality care for patients who are victims of domestic violence. The author describes a community campus partnership designed to improve care through use of a logic model which follows these steps: needs and assets assessment, capacity building, program selection, implementation and assessment, and final evaluation. The analysis has implications for other health institutions.
