It draws on the author's pilot study, "Through the Looking Glass: Nurses' Responses to Women Experiencing Partner Abuse", completed in 1997. It looks at why some nurses breach their professional duty to care and why some fail to act where a duty to care forms an intrinsic basis to practice. An individual and socio-historical perspective is traversed in examining this issue. The problems associated with the role of advocating for women who have been abused are also discussed. As a way of moving forward on the identified issues, the author proposes a model that incorporates supportive strategies when working with women who experience partner abuse. A move away from the victim-blaming paradigm is posited and a call is made to see nurses as capable in their duty to care, and duty of advocacy.
