Moreover, the pattern of violence may change, witli assaults directed to the abdomen, breasts and genitals. 3)It is less likely to occur during the postpartum period than during pregnancy.-False TOG Quote: Women appear to be at greater risk of violence during the postpartum period 4)A woman is less likely to disclose experiences of domestic violence when asked direct questions about it.-False TOG Quote: in the absence of direct questioning, women do not volunteer information about experiences of domestic violence due to embarrassment and shame. which means with direct questioning women are more likely to disclose experiences 5) Among injured women, accident and emergency staff identify about 60%. -False(20-30%) TOG Quote: In the USA, similar findings have been reported in emergency rooms, with up to a third of female trauma patients identlfied as suffering from domestic violence. Higher rates of domestic violence are found among 6) Teenagers. -True(Ref:TOG) (some references quote otherwise?), 7) Married women over 35 years of age. -False/True? (Reference?-Not sure) Domestic violence may be the underlying problem in 8)Abruption. -True 9) Ectopic pregnancy. -False 10) Non-specific abdominal pain-True TOG Quote: Domestic violence during pregnancy has been associated with placental abruption, chorioamnionitis, stillbirth, miscarriage, low-birth-weight infants and premature lab0ur. Abdominal trauma during pregnancy may lead to fetal fractures and rupture of the mother’s uterus, liver or spleen and in extreme cases the violence may result in maternal or fetal death BJOG Quote: Of the 15 presenting symptoms reported by the women, lower abdominal pain, dysmenorrhoea, dyspareunia, smear abnormalities, cancer worries and bowel symptoms were significantly more common complaints in the group who reported domestic violence Ref: 1)Loraine J Bacchus, Susan Bewley, Gillian Mezey . Domestic violence and pregnancy. Obstet Gynaecol (Lond) 2001 3: 56-59 2)http://www.acog.org/publications/patient_education/bp083.cfm 3)Domestic violence: prevalence and association with gynaecological symptoms. BJOG October 2004, Vol. 111, pp. 1128–1132R. John, J.K. Johnson, S. Kukreja, M. Found, S.W. Lindow I somehow could not find any recent references. Can anybody help with more recent references?

I need to ask nick, does these figures still valis as TOG/ Vol 1 is a little bit far= 1998 or 1999 Back to top Nick Raine-Fenning Course Director Joined: 27 May 2006 Posts: 1862 Location: Nottingham Posted: Sun May 27, 2007 1:56 pm    Post subject: They look fine to me and remember the exam is at least 3 years old! I would cross reference these figures against those in the Confidential Enquiry however as these are probably the ones that will be used in the exam. Cpeedahsa - post s many as you want but as Raj says do so in smaller batches to encourage discussion. I would also wait longer (maybe 4-5 days or longer) to answer as this will have the same effect. We still do not have that many active participants and maybe a longer waiitng period will bring more out of hiding! Great work though as always. _________________ "Teale Fenning Medical Education" delivering evidence-based, exam-orientated learning since 1997 Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         TEALE FENNING Forum Index -> MRCOG Part 2: MCQ & Past Paper questions All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Announcements----------------Forum AnnouncementsExam InformationCourse Announcements Examinations----------------MRCOG Part 1: EMCQsMRCOG Part 2: MCQ & Past Paper questionsMRCOG Part 2: EMQs - Extended Matching QuestionsMRCOG Part 2: Short Answer EssaysMRCOG Part 2: Objective Structured Clinical Examination - the OSCEDRCOG: the Diploma ExaminationMFFP: Membership of the Faculty of Family Planning and Reproductive Health Care of the RCOGPLAB: The Professional and Linguistic Assessment Board test General Discussion----------------Open ForumRCOG News & UpdatesThe Study Buddy SchemeKey Facts in O&GGuidelines & ProtocolsRecommended ReadingUseful WebsitesThe Market PlaceHow things work in the UKHow do you say that? Teale Fenning Courses----------------Our UK CoursesOur Overseas CoursesOur Correspondence CourseCourse AdministrationCourse FeedbackAccommodationOther Courses Training & Career Development----------------Basic Speciality Training in O&GSubspeciality Training & Special Skills ModulesAcademic TrainingResearch & AuditThe Curriculum Vitae or CVInterview SkillsMedical EducationPublication & Presentation SkillsTraining Courses, Conferences, & MeetingsThe Job MarketClinical Attachments  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2005 phpBB Group
