Improving the health care of women living with domestic abuse.

Aim: To explore the healthcare experiences of women living with domestic abuse, specifically in relation to the primary care setting.

Method: A qualitative study was undertaken in Scotland, comprising semi-structured interviews with 17 women who had experienced domestic abuse. Data were analysed using a thematic framework.

Practitioner assessments of 'good enough' parenting: factorial survey.

Aim: The aim of this study was to measure health visitors' professional judgements on 'good enough' parenting and identify what factors and combinations of these are important when making such judgements.

Background: The relationship between parenting and child health is unclear. Whilst agreement exists that 'good enough' parenting requires boundary setting, consistency and putting the child's needs first, attempting to define 'good enough' parenting in precise terms is complex.
