Running head: Annotated Bibliography Annotated Bibliography Jody Smith Professor Jeffrey Pilz GEN 499 July 21, 2014 Annotated Bibliography 1 Trevillion K, Agnew-Davies R, Howard L (2013). Healthcare professionals’ response to domestic violence. Date of submission: September 17 2013. Date of acceptance: September 23 2013. “Victims of domestic violence have increased contact with healthcare services, but the abuse may not always be identified as a causal factor in their physical and mental health problems. Guidelines advocate that healthcare professionals should enquire about abuse and respond appropriately to any disclosures with pertinent messages and referral to domestic violence specialists if required. This article provides an update on the guidance to health professionals and examines how improved identification and responses to domestic violence by healthcare professionals can improve care for patients” (Trevillion & Agnew-Davies, 2013). This article will be of great use to me for my final paper because it explains many of the reasons why domestic violence is hard on the economy. This will lead to one reason why it is worth the money to try to help the victims now rather than later. I could compare the cost of the mental as well as physical help that may be needed if we do nothing to stop it with the cost of programs to help prevent domestic violence. Clark, W. (2012, September 1st). Introducing Strategic Thinking into a Non-profit Organization to Develop Alternative Income Streams. Ebssco Host, pp. 32-42. Retrieved from American Legislative Exchange Council: American Legislative Exchange Council Author William Clark has published a peer review article titled “Introducing Strategic “Thinking into a Non-profit Organization to Develop Alternative Income Streams.” This article is a compilation of statically developed data showing the Annotated Bibliography 2 significance of non-profit organizational financial challenges. Information for non-profit statistics was obtained from the IRS’s 501c3 label classification list. According to this article, information indicated that non-profit organizations fall 16% short in financial needs, 52% are suffering from the downfall of the current economic state, yet, 93% of non-profits are excepting revenue increases with 12% breaking even yearly. This article was contributing statistical data to our current research of organizational operations of a non-profit organization. This article would be used hand in hand with the following article. I would use to it discuss the cost to the non-profit organization’s that currently are used to help with this issue. I could explain why it is important to give funding to these organizations as well as why we should take it further and completely support such group to make them larger. PEEK-ASA, C., 2004. Domestic violence. In Encyclopedia of women's health. Retrieved from http://search.credoreference.com.proxylibrary.ashford.edu/content/entry/sprwh/domestic_violence/0 “Worldwide, the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) reports that a quarter to half of women around the world experience some form of violence from an intimate partner over their lifetime. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that worldwide, between 10% and 69% of women are physically assaulted by an intimate partner at some time in their lives and that 40–70% of female murder victims are killed by an intimate partner”( PEEK-ASA, 2004). Annotated Bibliography 3 This article would help me in explaining the statistics of women who are assaulted by their partners. It also has information to aid me in giving a clear definition of Domestic Violence. Domestic violence. (2006). In From suffrage to the Senate: America's political women. Retrieved from http://search.credoreference.com.proxylibrary.ashford.edu/content/entry/ghssapw/domestic_violence/0 “The consequences of domestic violence go beyond a specific occurrence of it, including physical, psychological, and social difficulties. Victims, depending on the frequency and severity of the abuse, may experience central nervous system disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, symptoms associated with post-traumatic stress disorder, and heart or circulatory conditions. Depression, antisocial behavior, suicidal behavior in females, anxiety, the inability to trust men, and low self-esteem are among the psychological consequences of domestic violence experienced by victims”. This article would be a great addition because it tells about the effects of domestic violence. It goes over the things that could become lifelong problems because of the violence. Horley, Sandra; Addressing domestic violence through support and prevention. British Journal of School Nursing, 2014 Feb; 9 (1): 35-7. (journal article - pictorial) ISSN: 1752-2803, Database: CINAHL “Witnessing or experiencing domestic violence can also pose significant risks to children’s speech, language and social interaction” (Horley, 2014). Annotated Bibliography 4 This article is a great choice because it speaks about the effects of domestic violence on others within the home rather than just the victim. It tells about how domestic violence harms the children in the home even if it is not directed specifically toward them. Too many times I hear women say “he may be physically and mentally abusive to me but he would never harm his children”. This article explains how the children are still being harmed. Mishra, Ashok; Patne, S. K.; Tiwari, Ranjana; Kumar Srivastava, Dhiraj; Gour, Neeraj; Bansal, Manoj. A Cross-sectional Study to Find out the Prevalence of Different Types of Domestic Violence in Gwalior City and to Identify the Various Risk and Protective Factors for Domestic Violence. Indian Journal of Community Medicine. Jan-Mar2014, Vol. 39 Issue 1, p21-25. 5p. 5 Charts. DOI: 10.4103/0970-0218.126348. “The most important risk factor for domestic violence was alcoholism followed by literacy status. Majority of the abused women were dependent on their husbands for money, material assets and expenditure” (Mishra, Patne, Tiwari, Kumar, Gour & Bansal; 2014). I will use this article to help identify the risk factors of domestic violence. This can include those that should be avoided to try to keep from becoming a victim of domestic violence. This study shows warning signs that, if they would have been noticed, could have prevented any violence against the victim. It tells about how to recognize these warning signs as well as how to get away when you do recognize them.
