“…The other main barriers to screening as reported by more than half of our participants were time constraints and a lack of strategies to handle intimate partner violence. This is consistent with the findings of other studies (18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)26). On the other hand, an American study found those two barriers were reported by only 9.4% of their participants (27).…”

“…Social workers and nurses had a more positive attitude to victims, while family physicians had the least favourable attitude. This finding concurs with the findings of another Egyptian study that reported that physicians thought that screening for intimate partner violence was not important because of its social acceptability in the Middle East (23). A Brazilian study also found that physicians had little sympathy for victimized women (24).…”

Background: Health care providers can play an important role in detection of intimate partner violence within health services but barriers exist. Aims: This study aimed to determine the barriers that health care providers in Fayoum, Egypt consider prevent them from screening for intimate partner violence. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study between June 2018 and January 2019. The sample was health care providers (doctors, nurses, social workers and community workers) selected from government primary care centres in all seven districts of Fayoum. A validated Arabic version of the Domestic Violence Health Care Provider Survey was used to collect data. Results: A total of 385 health care providers (92.7% women) agreed to participate (78.6% response rate). Just over half of the participants did not have access to social workers or community workers or strategies to help victims of intimate partner violence. None had received training on screening for domestic violence. More than half (59.7%) thought that investigating the cause of intimate partner violence was not part of medical practice. Sex was significantly associated with perceived self-efficacy, while age and occupation were significantly associated with referral management and health providers' attitude. Conclusion: Primary health care providers perceived many barriers to screening for intimate partner violence. Training on screening for and managing intimate partner violence should be part of the professional development for all health care providers. An effective referral system is 1 / 12 WHO EMRO | Views of primary health care providers of the challenges to screening for intimate partner v needed that ensures comprehensive services for victims.

Background Healthcare practitioners (HCPs) play a crucial role in recognising, responding to, and supporting female patients experiencing intimate partner abuse (IPA). However, research consistently identifies barriers they perceive prevent them from doing this work effectively. These barriers can be system-based (e.g. lack of time or training) or personal/individual. This review of qualitative evidence aims to synthesise the personal barriers that impact HCPs’ responses to IPA. Methods Five databases were searched in March 2020. Studies needed to utilise qualitative methods for both data collection and analysis and be published between 2010 and 2020 in order to qualify for inclusion; however, we considered any type of healthcare setting in any country. Article screening, data extraction and methodological appraisal using a modified version of the Critical Appraisal Skills Program checklist for qualitative studies were undertaken by at least two independent reviewers. Data analysis drew on Thomas and Harden’s thematic synthesis approach. Results Twenty-nine studies conducted in 20 countries informed the final review. A variety of HCPs and settings were represented. Three themes were developed that describe the personal barriers experienced by HCPs: I can’t interfere (which describes the belief that IPA is a “private matter” and HCPs’ fears of causing harm by intervening); I don’t have control (highlighting HCPs’ frustration when women do not follow their advice); and I won’t take responsibility (which illuminates beliefs that addressing IPA should be someone else’s job). Conclusion This review highlights the need for training to address personal issues in addition to structural or organisational barriers. Education and training for HCPs needs to: encourage reflection on their own values to reinforce their commitment to addressing IPA; teach HCPs to relinquish the need to control outcomes so that they can adopt an advocacy approach; and support HCPs’ trust in the critical role they can play in responding. Future research should explore effective ways to do this within the context of complex healthcare organisations.

“…Sebanyak 38% wanita di Curacao telah mengalami beberapa bentuk kekerasan dalam rumah tangga pada suatu saat dalam kehidupan dewasa mereka (van Wijk & De Bruijn, 2012). Survei Demografi dan Kesehatan Mesir terbaru menemukan bahwa 30% wanita yang pernah menikah melaporkan beberapa bentuk kekerasan pasangan (Aziz & El-Gazzar, 2019). Sementara di Indonesia sekitar 24 juta jiwa terutama di pedesaan mengaku pernah mengalami kekerasan yang mayoritasnya adalah kekerasan dalam rumah tangga (Wahab, 2006), selanjutnya tahun 2017 tercatat 348.446 kasus yang dilaporkan (Abdurrachman, 2010;Perempuan, 2017).…”

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mendeskripsikan kekerasan dalam rumah tangga dari perspektif bimbingan dan konseling dengan menggunakan pendekatan behavior dan kognitif. Penyebab kekerasan dalam rumah tangga adalah sikap dan nilai yang salah tentang peran laki-laki dan perempuan, kekuasaan otoritatif dalam keluarga, ketidaksetaraan gender, status perempuan yang lebih rendah, dan kuasa atas perempuan, serta kepala keluarga yang mengelola atau mengendalikan perilaku semua keluarga yang biasa disebut dengan konsep patriarki. Berdasarkan pemaparan di atas, perlunya pelayanan bimbingan dan konseling untuk mengatasi perilaku kekerasan dalam rumah tangga. Selain itu, pelayanan bimbingan dan konseling dapat menggunakan tiga tahap konseling keluarga menurut Adler yaitu: interview awal, role playing atau bermain peran, dan interpretasi atau penafsiran.
