Chang JC et al. What
Happens When Health Care Providers Ask About Intimate
Partner Violence? A Description of Consequences from the
Perspectives of Female Survivors. Jol of the Amer Med
Women's Assoc; 58, 2: 76 - 81.
Intimate partner violence is a significant issue in
Women's Health. This study used seven focus group
interviews to examine the positive and negative
consequences of health care screening for intimate
partner violence (IPV) from the perspective of female
survivors. The positive consequences described
were that the screening helped them realize the domestic
violence was a problem, feeling less isolation, and
feeling that the provider cared. Negative
consequences reported were: fear of being judged by the
provider, feeling more anxiety about the unknown
repercussions of revealing the abuse, feeling that the
IPV protocol was too intrusive due to repeating it to
many people, and feeling disappointment in the
provider's lack of support. the findings emphasize
the importance of the attitude and manner of the
provider in IPV screening and in finding ways to convey
appropriate information and support after disclosure of
domestic violence.
