dc.description.notesThe article focuses on community nurses working with women subjected to family violence in rural areas. A study was undertaken through focus groups exploring experiences of nurses’ work with domestic violence. Four themes emerged, linked to the overriding theme of the risky nature of working with family violence: ‘Picking up cues’, ‘helping and helplessness’, ‘holding secrets’, and ‘quiet resistance’. Also addressed are the issues of geographical isolation, disclosure difficulties, lack of education, the traumatic nature of domestic violence and the impact this has on nurses working in remote areas. The paper points out that professional and bureaucratic barriers can make it difficult for nurses to be effective but that with caring strategies, women can be supported and empowered. The impact on nurses working in rural areas with domestic violence is also conveyed, as well as the courage and skills that nurses have to offer.en
