Moreover, violence is mostly identified by physical injury

It would be difficult to identify a woman who arrives in the health service, you look at her, you see that she’s a purple arm, belly, something like that. It maybe you perceive that this is not only a bruise, you know? Realize that you have something, that has the violence behind it.

Now having had the training with [NS] I now know what to look for, the very subtle controlling behaviour, and I wasn’t so good at picking that up before.

Participant 4 reflected on her prior experience of working in the ED, an area which has received considerable attention as a key location for disclosure of DVA. She then contrasted this to her experience of working in an in-patient environment and the time constraints of the ED

both the longevity of patient relationships within particular care settings and/or the length of stay in hospital provided the potential to build relationships of trust and to provide a ‘safe’ environment for disclosure:

And it’s having a mechanism for us to be able to seek support to help people with that.

he NS role, both the training and ongoing support had been invaluable in enabling them to speak to patients where DVA was disclosed or suspected. Participants also clearly recognised the importance of their role in terms of being a key point of contact for disclosure or identification of DVA

However, several participants also described how they ‘didn’t know’ how to initiate a conversation about DVA with patients, even when they were experienced practitioners:

while seeking the advice of the NS gave her ‘confidence’ to ask about DVA, ‘probing’ into very personal aspects of someone’s life did not feel as though it was part of her professional role:

Furthermore, the training and continued support of the NS was invaluable both in terms of the development of professional confidence to approach DVA with patients and also in terms of facilitating senior practitioners in supporting members of the nursing team themselves

(the current assessment tool for identifying IPV) resulted in a number of false negatives,

I was here and we talked and is everything okay?’ So we don’t have the tools to pull out that information

Some nurses perceived that many clients responded negatively to questions about violence in their relationships because they did not define their experiences as abusive

Nurses identified that tools are required to support clients in reframing their understanding of a healthy relationship.

One of the most pressing needs identified by nurse home visitors was to receive guidance on how to understand, and then respond, to their ‘gut instinct’ or ‘gut feeling’ that a client may be experiencing abuse in her relationship

Nurses and supervisors expressed the need for additional knowledge about additional ‘clues’ that could indicate a client is experiencing abuse or at-risk of IPV.

Nurses found it challenging to know what to do when they suspected a client was experiencing abuse,

nurses identified that they specifically needed guidance about when and how to take the initiative in raising the issue of abuse again with clients

To organise their assessments and subsequent plan of care, nurses requested a clinical pathway or at least detailed instructions on ‘what to do next’ or how to respond to IPV disclosures

They are midwives’ personal discomfort in asking IPV-related questions, perceived mistrust of midwives by pregnant women, midwives’ own perceptions of IPV as a personal matter and midwives’ lack of skills to screen for IPV.

The midwives’ own perception of culture and religion in the northern region of Nigeria came out strongly as an internal barrier to routine screening for and disclosure of IPV in pregnant women

inadequate training of midwives affected their competencies in performing screening for IPV, as illustrated

There are no questions on the antenatal card relating to intimate partner violence to ask pregnant women, so we stick to the questions on the antenatal card.

the large number of pregnant women seen by each midwife makes it exhausting to undertake screening for IPV

I am overwhelmed with work. I don’t even have time to sit and discuss one on one with my patients

“There are many patients, but few midwives because we are short staffed in this hospital

Protocol related barriers: The absence of institutional permissions, approvals, directives, and policies formalising midwives’ screening of pregnant women for IPV was also reported as a barrier to their screening practice of IPV.

“We have not been directed to ask such questions

“There is no policy in this hospital that requires us to ask our patients about intimate partner violence.

“There is no guiding procedure manual on screening pregnant women for IPV.

, there is no space to discuss private matters like IPV. Most of the things we do, like health education, we do them in groups, here in the same hall.”

“What do we do for these women after we identify them as victims of abuse. There have to be solutions or benefits for patients coming out to voice their problems. Right now, there is no resources. So we cannot screen for problems we cannot solve.

Communication challenges often stemmed from a patient’s reluctance to disclose experiences of IPV. Several possible reasons for reluctance were provided including feelings of shame, embarrassment or fear on the part of the patient; the patient not knowing what abuse is; the abusive partner attending the visit with the patient and the patient not wanting to leave the relationship or press charges.

Communication challenges may also be due to an inability to establish rapport with the patient. This may be due to the provider’s personal feelings and beliefs about IPV or patients shutting down or not returning if IPV questions are not asked appropriately. Often, however, it is due to a lack of time during which providers can establish a relationship with the patient

So that is one of the reasons why it gets overlooked. Because it takes a little bit of time and meandering to get it out.

Several operational/facility challenges were also noted, primarily stemming from issues related to current procedures in place for screening and responding to IPV as well as facility infrastructure concerns. Participants noted a lack of confidence in the current screening questions and response resources available at their facility.

feeling that the current procedures seemed ineffective

The most common operational concern was related to insufficient time to inquire about IPV

EDs noted that a major challenge is a lack of follow-up visits, whereas clinics stated that too much time elapses between visits.

‘We have numerous types of screenings that go on in the electronic health record (EHR). And so it pulls you away from actually being compliant with all of them cause there’s quite a few lately’ (nurse, ED, 01). Lack of privacy was also noted as a barrier to screening, particularly among emergency departments.

‘We review policies and the hardest thing is between us, in the entire community, is for the hospitals to express themselves and where their policies are at. No one wants to share their policy. No one wants to do a transfer policy. No one wants to give us anything, not even a little bit because of the competition between them.

operational/facility issues. Several communication promoters were noted including those that serve to increase the comfort of patients and improve self-awareness of both patients and providers

Participants also noted there are times in which a particular provider may have difficulty establishing trust and rapport

One participant also discussed the importance of dress (‘not having the white coat on’) and demeanour in helping patients feel more comfortable. The way in which questions related to IPV are framed can also help build trust and rapport. Strategies for framing questions included asking all patients IPV questions rather than those ‘suspected’ of experiencing IPV; asking less sensitive questions first; using straight forward, plain language; and asking questions conversationally as opposed to reading directly from a questionnaire.

it is not specifically for issues related to abuse. For providers, education and training are critical for raising awareness and improving communication about IPV. B

For operational/facility promoters, participants discussed the importance of strong partnerships, access to resources and being available to patients. Having partnerships with mental health providers, social service agencies, rape treatment centre/emergency services and law enforcement are considered necessary for effectively responding to IPV

Participants also noted that receiving specific instruction on what questions to ask has been instrumental in establishing their IPV procedures.

To be available to patients, it is important that sufficient time is allotted during patient visits

n average patient visits are 15 minutes, but 30 minutes is really needed to appropriately screen for IPV and even more time is required if the patient needs help accessing resources.

ability included ensuring patient visits are conducted in private locations so patients have the opportunity to say something if they want to and providing the patient with access to the provider’s phone and/or email address

the Chilean health care system is focused more on the physical and psychological forms of violence.

Several midwives mentioned the challenges of determining “if it [violence] is physical, or economical, or psychological, or emotional

Midwives expressed lack of sufficient time to discuss IPV with patients and screen them during appointments. They often felt that they had to compromise their attention to the patient; in the case of the Haitian patients, this was due to needing a translator, which slowed down examinations and lengthened discussions between patient and provider. Other times, the need to document the events of the encounter and update patient progress notes and examination findings took away attention from the patient.

Language was a very salient issue for the midwives concerning their Haitian patients who did not speak Spanish; either the midwives had seriously limited communication due to inadequate translated resources or unavailable translators, or they felt conflicted by the ethical concern in using a partner as a translator.

Additionally, midwives found that coordinating schedules with the translator proved challenging when patients needed a referral to the psychologist or other members of the health care team.

The difficulty in trying to screen for violence is compounded because often the partner was the one who would come to translate for the patient

Another barrier was the dual complexity of language and culture.

Partly because the midwives did not have a good understanding of Haitian culture and respective interpersonal dynamics, the midwives struggled to determine if the partner translating for the woman was an indication of a risk factor for IPV

The midwives frequently expressed a need among the health care team for intercultural training, one that would be both in-depth and relevant, so they might better understand their patients and their circumstances before judging behaviors or trying to impose their own cultural expectations

By understanding a patient’s cultural beliefs and customs, a midwife may be prepared to better communicate with and assist her patients.

The midwives desired better training to manage this cultural difference and ambivalent sexism so they would feel more equipped to serve their patients.partner behaviors that could increase their risk for adverse outcomes related to IPV, and where they can go to receive support if they experience IPV

Some midwives expressed that what might be most important would be knowledge of where the victims could seek help and providers could seek resources,

Even though the midwives could refer women to the clinic psychologist, they did not have immediate awareness or knowledge about the referral process to the government ministry for women

På frågan om att diskutera IPV med patienter uttryckte barnmorskorna att den chilenska sjukvården är mer fokuserad på de fysiska och psykiska formerna av våld.

Flera barnmorskor nämnde utmaningarna med att avgöra "om det [våldet] är fysiskt, eller ekonomiskt, eller psykiskt, eller emotionellt". Ekonomiskt våld kan visa sig genom att begränsa en kvinnas förmåga att arbeta utanför hemmet och ha en egen inkomst som kan främja självständighet.

Barnmorskor uttryckte brist på tillräckligt med tid för att diskutera IPV med patienter och screena dem under besök.

I fallet med de haitiska patienterna berodde detta på att de behövde en tolk, vilket fördröjde undersökningarna och förlängde diskussionerna mellan patient och vårdgivare. Andra gånger tog behovet av att dokumentera händelserna under mötet och uppdatera anteckningar om patientens framsteg och undersökningsresultat uppmärksamheten från patienten.

eller så kan hon sakna tid med en patient om hon gick över den tilldelade tiden med en tidigare patient.

Endast en barnmorska sa uttryckligen att om en patient behöver mer uppmärksamhet relaterat till sin risk för våld, så kommer hon att kompromissa och förkorta tiden med sina andra patienter.

Svårigheten med att försöka screena för våld förvärras av att partnern ofta var den som kom för att översätta åt patienten.

Detta skapade ett etiskt problem för barnmorskorna, eftersom screening för våld genom en partner kunde öka en kvinnas risk för framtida våld, och det är osannolikt att hon skulle rapportera det när en potentiell förövare är närvarande (Waalen et al., 2000).

Detta verkade göra barnmorskorna obekväma, då de flesta uttryckte frustration över att vilja kommunicera direkt med kvinnan men inte kunna göra det.

En barnmorska menade att det var för trubbigt och okänsligt att fråga direkt om patienten utsatts för våld, vilket menade att barnmorskans beteende och förhållningssätt till ämnet våld spelade roll och kunde påverka patientrapporteringen. Barnmorskorna upplevde att genom att ha en nära relation till patienten, eller åtminstone kunna känna empati med dem, kan patienten känna att de kan lita mer på dem. Önskan att vinna en patients förtroende och förtroende

Generellt önskade barnmorskorna mer resurser för sina patienter på det språk som patienterna förstår: information om vad de kan förvänta sig under graviditeten, hur en patient ska ta hand om sig själv under graviditeten, partnerbeteenden som kan öka risken för negativa utfall relaterade till IPV och vart de kan vända sig för att få stöd om de upplever IPV.

Jag tror att det som saknas är kunskapen om de platser som vi kan vända oss till.

Och gråt och sorg kan dölja förekomsten av våld. Det har betonats att när det finns verbalisering eller närvaro av fysiska tecken, som blåmärken och lesioner, sker identifieringen lättare, särskilt i samband med det prenatala besöket.

Men när det inte finns några tecken på fysiska blåmärken till följd av aggressionen finns det svårigheter för denna skada, därför krävs större uppmärksamhet från hälso- och sjukvårdsteamens sida och en noggrann övervakning i varje enskilt fall(12).

Att etablera en relation av tillit och att kunna förstå vad hälsoanvändaren inte verbaliserar, utan uttrycks i sin kropp och sitt beteende, var de medel som hälso- och sjukvårdspersonalen använde för att underlätta identifieringen av VIP-personen(13).

Nearly half disagreed or strongly disagreed with questions about knowing how to and/or feeling confident to screen. Nonetheless, few staff (20%) disagreed with the statement ‘I know what to do if my patient states they are being abused’

Over half reported no or very little knowledge about legal reporting requirements, how to determine danger and/or how to develop a safety plan with a people experiencing DV

Extrinsic barriers to screening involved the resources available at each hospital. Most commonly, lack of single rooms, high patient load and lack of social worker availability were all cited as impediments. Patient-related barriers involved difficulties in communication rather than cultural barriers, including non-English-speaking background or dementia. Extrinsic factors commonly reported as enabling screening were access to protocols (written and online), departmental posters informing patients to expect regular DV screening, access to 24/7 social work and interpreter services and having supportive coworkers

The participants noted that there is a greater need for training and support needs such as educational sessions, financial resources, organisational resources, social care referral support groups and advocacy groups, for managing cases of IPV. The dearth of resources was attributed to the complexity and sheer volume of work for those who experienced IPV

I feel I need more training and updating in issues around domestic violence. Like all trusts, education needs are not priority for staff-financial constraints

Although, some of the participants noted that few resources are available, they were also concerned about the delays in building a case for IPV.

I referred a woman last month and the social services referral was disheartening. I ended up being passed around and giving the details to four different individuals and when I rang back the next day, they had no details of hers on file! I had to start the process again. This took time.. I ended up staying three hours late to sort it out

. The willingness of social care agencies needs to improve because at the moment, the whole referral process demands more time than we can give it, and still give safe care to other women we are caring for (for example, on busy hospital wards).

. Although policies are available, they are inadequate and at times “inappropriate/insensitive” to the reality of what staff can do with the limitations of times and resources

Improved training is definitely needed in this sensitive area for all midwives in my opinion.

Det var uppenbart att deltagarna var motiverade att hantera fall av våld mot våld på ett effektivt sätt, men att de inte hade utbildning och resurser. Därför ägnade de sig åt att lära sig genom rättegångar och misstag

Det behövs definitivt en förbättrad utbildning inom detta känsliga område för alla barnmorskor enligt min mening

Barriers to enquiry that were most often quoted by health professionals were the partner’s presence (“always” a barrier for 33% of health professionals), the difficulty to recognize women who were victims, the lack of “reflex”, and the fact that they did not feel at ease with the subject (“often” a barrier for respectively 38%, 29%, and 24% of health professionals)

Significant predictors of screening included the number of hours of previous training about IPV that providers had received. Those with 16 or more hours of training on IPV were the most likely to screen across all categories, and providers with 6 to 10 hours of training were more likely than those with no training to screen across all categories (c2 [3, 134] ¼ 23.29; p < .01),

Screening was also significantly associated with certain organizational factors inherent to the clinic setting. Providers employed by clinics that had instituted clear protocols for addressing IPV (c2 [3, 134] ¼ 23.19; p ¼ .01), those with high levels of perceived knowledge of these protocols (c2 [3, 134] ¼ 24.73; p ¼ .01), and those who felt they had adequate referral sources for their abused patients (c2 [3, 134] ¼ 12.35; p ¼ .01) screened for IPV more often and among more patient categories.

Specific Screening scores were inversely correlated with knowledge scores (r ¼ 0.55; p < .01) and scores from two attitudes subscales, “staff preparation” (r ¼ 0.52; p < .01) and “victim understanding” (r ¼ 0.57; p < .01). Higher mean scores on the specific screening measure were associated with clear clinic protocols for addressing IPV (t [117] ¼ 5.09, p < .01 [“yes” ¼ 4.02 vs. “no” ¼ 2.68]), having adequate referral resources on-site to provide patients

The organizational factors that significantly predicted these patient counseling and safety assessment/safety planning were clinic protocols to address IPV (c2 [6, 134] ¼ 32.41; p < .01), community resources knowledge (c2 [6, 134] ¼ 22.34; p < .01), and adequate referral resources on site (c2 [6, 134] ¼ 36.19; p < .01).

Thirteen respondents stated they were unaware of any community resources for survivors and thus could not refer abused patients at all. One-half of providers responding to the survey indicated they were personally or socially acquainted with their patients outside of their practic
