Implementation of an Intimate Partner Violence Screening Program in a University Health Care Clinic
McCarthy, Jessica; Bianchi, Ann
Journal of American College Health, v68 n4 p444-452 2020
Objectives: To examine whether an intimate partner violence (IPV) screening program is related to a positive change in health care providers' knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy of IPV screening. Participants: Eleven health care providers at a university health care clinic participated in the IPV screening program. Methods: A one-group pretest-posttest design was used to examine whether an IPV screening program was related to a change in health care providers' knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy of IPV screening. Results: Findings indicated that there was a significant difference (p < 000) between the posttest scores and the pretest scores on the Domestic Violence Healthcare Provider Survey Scale. Domain analysis of the scale revealed a significant difference in perceived self-efficacy (p = 0.001), system support (p = <.002), victim provider safety (p = 0.015), and beliefs of blaming victims (p = <0.004). No statistical difference was found in professional role resistance/fear of offending (p = 0.158). Conclusions: A university health care clinic IPV screening program was related to a positive change in health care providers' knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy of IPV screening.
