“…These findings are similar to those reported in other countries (see, e.g., [3, 16–20]). Together, these findings also confirm that even when IPV is “suspected” or identified, nurses often do not intervene effectively (e.g., they tend to focus only on physical health).…”

Intimate partner violence has short- and long-term physical and mental health consequences. As the largest healthcare workforce globally, nurses are well positioned to care for abused women. However, their role in this regard has not been researched in some countries. This paper is based on a qualitative study that explored how Sri Lankan nurses perceive their role in caring for women who have experienced partner violence. Interviews with 30 nurses who worked in diverse clinical and geographical settings in Sri Lanka revealed that nurses' role involved: identifying abuse, taking care of patients' physical needs, attending to their safety, providing support and advice, and making referrals. Barriers to providing care included lack of knowledge; heavy workload; language barriers; threats to personal safety; nurses' status within the healthcare hierarchy; and lack of communication and collaboration between various stakeholder groups within the healthcare system. Nurses also identified a lack of appropriate services and support within hospitals and in the community. The findings reveal an urgent need for the healthcare system to respond to nurses' educational and training needs and help them function autonomously within multidisciplinary teams when caring for abused women. The findings also point to a need to address institutional barriers including the lack of appropriate services for abused women.

“…A qualitative focus group interviews conducted by Inoue and Armitage () from 41 emergency nurses reported about the programs of screening showing limited evidence about the reductions in IPV/DVA, as well as health outcome improvements. Furthermore, in countries or settings where prevalence of IPV/DVA is high and scare referral choices are found, maybe a universal enquiry bring around limited advantage for women along with overwhelming health professionals (Bryant & Spencer, ).…”

AimThe aim of this study was to explore previous literature related to nurses understanding of Intimate partner violence (IPV) or domestic violence and abuse (DVA) against women and to identify the gaps in nursing education so as to use the findings as a baseline to inform potential intervention strategies, curriculum development and outline implications for future nursing practice.DesignAn Integrative review of literature.MethodsStudies were extracted through a search of the electronic databases, such as Science direct, EBSCO host and PubMed, to identify relevant evidences published between January 2000–January 2017. “Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) tool” was used to review primary research studies.ResultsSeventeen empirical studies were analysed. Findings supported four themes including: educational and training experiences, identification of IPV/DVA, curriculum and communication skills of nurses. Continued efforts are further needed to highlight and address IPV/DVA in nursing education and training, to scale up nursing understanding to respond and identify IPV/DVA appropriately in a clinical environment.

“…Além disso, geralmente mantêm um vínculo de longa duração com as usuárias, de maneira que a sua capacitação para manejar casos parece ser crucial no atendimento da violência. Estudos recentes [13][14][15] O questionário final continha 31 questões relativas ao conhecimento acerca da VCM, as quais foram divididas em cinco grupos temáticos: questões sobre conhecimento da definição de violência de gênero, sobre epidemiologia da VCM, conhecimento sobre a revelação e manejo dos casos já conhecidos de violência, e daqueles em que há apenas indício da mesma. O instrumento foi aplicado face a face por entrevistadoras treinadas pela pesquisadora e que possuíam experiência em pesquisas anteriores.…”
