AbstractThis article examines the possibilities offered by the triangulative approach and the challenges using it related to intimate partner violence (IPV) research. The purpose of this descriptive, cross-sectional, multicenter study was to create a preliminary model for identifying women exposed to acute physical IPV seeking care at emergency departments (EDs) and for intervening in the violence. The model is based on the results of previous research and the example study. A multiple approach was chosen to describe and understand better the factors that have an influence on the identification of IPV and its intervention from the women's (n = 35) and the ED professional's (n = 480) perspectives. Research material was collected from 28 EDs with questionnaires. Secondly, semistructured interviews were carried out with 7 women and 20 ED professionals. The data were analyzed using quantitative and qualitative methods. The advantage of the triangulative approach is that it provides a view of the phenomenon in a variety of ways, completing and confirming the results. The problem of this method is that it is laborious for the researcher.Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
