AbstractThe mental health correlates of male aggression or violence against an intimate partner (IPV) are examined using exploratory cluster analysis for 81 men who self-reported risk factors for IPV perpetration on a computer-based health risk assessment. Men disclosing IPV perpetration could be meaningfully subdivided into two different clusters: a high pathology/high violence cluster, and lower pathology/low violence cluster. These groups appear to perpetrate intimate partner violence in differing psychoemotional contexts and could be robustly identified using multiple distinct analytic methods. If men who self-disclose IPV in a health care setting can be meaningfully subdivided based on mental health symptoms and level of violence, it lends support for potential new targeted approaches to preventing partner violence perpetration by both women and men.

Nurses are expected to provide a safe haven for clients. When clients seek the services of nurses, they are vulnerable, and they expect privacy and confidentiality. Reporting acknowledged or suspected intimate partner violence (IPV) to authorities can impact nurse–client trust relationships. This article discusses the legal ramifications of reporting of IPV and their implications in a health care setting.
