Abstract
Aim:
To describe the application of intervention mapping in the development of a family-centred approach to reduce violence in the family.
Methods:
Development towards a family-centred approach is described, in which only the first three steps of the five intervention mapping steps have been detailed. These three steps are unpacked as phases. Phase I, a family violence needs assessment which includes a policy analysis. Phase II determines appropriate theoretical and practical approaches through systematic reviews and lastly, Phase III as a Delphi study.
Results:
Intervention mapping as a form of programme development is inclusive of all relevant stakeholders and allows diverse engagement with family-centred information through its structured development process.
Conclusion:
Family violence should be seen as a holistic phenomenon which affects all members of the family and future interventions must be mindful of this to address family violence effectively.
Keywords: Intervention mapping, Family-centred programme, Family violence, Future interventions, Delphi study, family-centred information.
