Summary

Domestic violence is defined as violence carried out by one of the partners in a relationship of domination. This can be verbal, psychological, physical or sexual.

Domestic violence is a real public health problem for which emergencies are at the forefront.

In this context, the emergency department of the Reims University Hospital Center, the Public Prosecutor and the association LE MARS France Victim 51 decided to set up a report on July 01, 2020.

The report consists of retrieving the identity and information relating to the violence suffered through a survey, or report card . The report card, as well as an initial certificate without the total incapacity for work written by the doctor during the consultation, will be sent immediately by secure email to the public prosecutor and the police. The emails will be processed in real time by the prosecutor on duty. The contact details with the family name, first name and telephone number will be sent to the association LE MARS France Victime 51. Reporting therefore allows the prosecutor to decide whether or not to open a criminal investigation., At the same time, this will allow us to provide support through the association providing assistance to victims of domestic violence.

The objective of this study is to describe the proportion of patients accepting to report to the public prosecutor among the patients consulting the emergency department of the Reims University Hospital Center and for whom domestic violence is known or suspected. The secondary objectives will be to describe the number of patients who are victims of proven or suspected domestic violence consulting the emergency department, as well as to describe the factors associated with the acceptance of the report.

Participation in the study will consist of completing a questionnaire specific to the study. The estimated time to complete this questionnaire is 5 minutes.

This study will allow us to know the prevalence of acceptance of the report card in the emergency department of the Reims University Hospital Center. This information will tell us if this new procedure could be beneficial for the management of domestic violence and if the majority of patients are in favor of it.
