The summarizes of data collected from these women, incloude the sociodemographic and clinical features, as reason for admission, age, place of birth, years of residence, marital status, employment status, type of aggression, aggressor type of injury, TBS, days of admission number of surgical procedures and status at discharge
· Conclusion
Women admitted to the Burn Unit, being victims of IPV represent a small percentage in the total number of admissions, but they present specific characteristics, due to the type of incident and its sequel, that increase the complexity in the process of recovery. Spain show a large epidemiology of this kind of victims, but the injuries caused by knives and firearms are the usual and the most of the agressions come from their partners or ex-partners. Also the sons and daughters of these women can be victims of these people.
Specific measures of social and psychological support, such as linking to specific care resources, are key to ensuring continuity of care and support for integral recovery
