Presentation Format:
Innovative/Promising Practice Program Report

Learning Objectives:

Recognize how and why the MOVE model was developed
Identify what elements of the new model nurses and women valued
Recognize prevalence of abuse in a postpartum population and the effect the new model had on women’s disclosure and satisfaction with nurse care and support

Description:
Sustaining levels of provider behaviour change following IPV training has been a consistent challenge. Using Normalisation Process Theory (May et al, 2009) we designed a supportive good practice model of maternal child health nurse care for abused women at individual, team, local, and state government levels supplemented by nurse participatory action research. The resulting model was implemented in an RCT (160 nurses) for a year with promising results and a mailed survey to 10,500 new mothers evaluated its effect.
