Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Hawai'I at Manoa, 1998.

This study focuses on the culture of American medicine in the emergency department setting as it intersects with women who have been battered by their intimate partners. Professional staff, primarily physicians and nurses, from the emergency departments of four urban hospitals in Honolulu were interviewed between the years 1992 and 1993 for their experience in caring for women victims of domestic violence. Eight of the interviews are presented in their own voices as authentically as I was able in order to explore and convey the complexity of these intersecting cultural domains.

520 $a This study focuses on the culture of American medicine in the emergency department setting as it intersects with women who have been battered by their intimate partners. Professional staff, primarily physicians and nurses, from the emergency departments of four urban hospitals in Honolulu were interviewed between the years 1992 and 1993 for their experience in caring for women victims of domestic violence. Eight of the interviews are presented in their own voices as authentically as I was able in order to explore and convey the complexity of these intersecting cultural domains.
520 $a The study was approached from a critical medical anthropological perspective. The status and nature of Victimhood emerged from the data as central to understanding emergency department staff's response to women who had been battered. The way women's problems were transformed into medical conditions (medicalization), and the fact that they were women (gender), were also very important and formed what I call the three conceptual anchors for the analysis of the data. Beliefs and assumptions about the women's culpability for her own abuse, blaming the victim ideology inherent in biomedicine, and deeply imbedded negative assumptions about women and their bodies in American culture and American medicine were found to contribute to the difficulties emergency department staff encounter in providing care to abused women.
520 $a Approaches for more positive emergency department encounters with women victims are suggested. Reflections on potential theoretical issues related to doctor's and nurse's response to women victims of domestic violence are included in the final section.
