New Ideas!

So, last week I was kind of freaking out about my topic and ideas about this project. With the deadline for my proposal coming up I am super overwhelmed. As I am sitting in the shelter right now thinking about what I want to do. I think I should focus more on the psychological sequelae of intimate partner violence and patterns of medication use with women who face IPV. Then to think about how I can tie this into nursing and nursing interventions, and the shelter; I'm not completely sure. Still thinking I would like to provide a medication education class for the staff here at WCRI. I don't think I'll be able to do anything about their medication protocols or anything of that nature. It just seems so tight and not much room to budge. I still need to meet with the director of the shelter. I am feeling a tad overwhelmed.

I am studying medication use by women in IPV relationships because I want to see if there is a pattern between usage of certain medication related to IPV/DV, in order for my reader to understand the psychological effects on abused women's mental/physical health.

...thoughts?

  1. I think you pretty much just came up with your proposal. As much as the medication protocols is interesting (and definitely an issue that needs further investigation) I think that this approach keeps it focused more around domestic violence, which is what had interested you the most in the first place.
