“…Though systematic reviews find no evidence for the benefits of screening on women's health outcomes per se [7], validation of a battered woman's situation through inquiries in healthcare may positively affect her response to treatment options [6]. In addition, IPV screening in healthcare settings appears to improve women's satisfaction with care in general [8], and there is general consensus among healthcare professionals that routine screening is likely to improve identification of IPV [9]. Data from low, middle and high income societal contexts suggest however that 20% -70% of women (higher figures in low income countries) hesitate to disclose abuse to formal institutions including healthcare.…”

“…Pertinent reasons hindering abused women from seeking sanctuary from formal networks include the perceived lack of confidentiality, inappropriate methods of inquiry from care providers, fear of retaliation from the abuser and stigmatizing attitudes from service providers [10] [11]. From the perspective of the healthcare system, evidence suggest that only one in ten healthcare workers routinely screen for IPV [9], indicating the presence of barriers, which have in recent research been traced to providers' insufficient knowledge and training in screening, conflicting professional roles governing the provider-client relations (e.g. mutual respect, fear of offending clients etc.…”

Aim: We assessed demographic, professional and work environmental determinants of readiness to screen for Intimate Partner Violence among healthcare practitioners in healthcare Uganda. Methods: The Domestic Violence Healthcare Provider Survey Scale and the Demand-Control-Support questionnaire was administered to a random sample of 376 health care providers (n = 279 valid responses) from Gulu, Anaka, Lacor and Iganga hospital situated in northern and eastern Uganda. Correlation tests, t-tests, ANOVA and Multiple Linear regression were used to analyse the data. Results: Male care providers were more likely than female peers to blame the victim for the occurrence of Intimate Partner Violence in a relationship. Participants from Lacorhospital graded a lower self-efficacy and a poorer support network with regard to screening for Intimate partner violence, and a higher propensity to blame the victim when contrasted with other hospitals. Doctors experienced a lower self-efficacy with regard to IPV screening than other professions. Blaming the victim for abuse was associated with a high work load and low support at work. In * Corresponding author. S. Lawoko et al.146 addition, with increasing work control and support, participants' appraisal of system support and self-efficacy increased. Conclusion: Gender, profession, facility of work, work demand, control and support are important determinants of the readiness to screen for IPV in healthcare Uganda, and should inform strategy for the introduction and implementation of routine IPV inquiry in healthcare Uganda.

“…It has been shown that most victims presenting for social and health care are not screened and do not receive intervention (Furniss, McCaffrey, Parnell, & Rovi, 2007;Owen-Smith et al, 2008). Several studies have sought explanations for the low screening rates (D'Avolio, 2011;Thurston et al, 2009;Todahl & Walters, 2011).…”

Violence is a serious problem, and social and health care providers are in a key position for implementing successful interventions. This qualitative study of 6 focus groups with professionals (n D 30) examines the health care professionals' ways of framing a domestic violence intervention. Of special interest here is how professionals see their own roles in the process of recognizing and helping victims of domestic violence. By using Erving Goffman's frame analysis, this study identifies several frames that either: a) emphasize the obstacles to intervention and justify nonintervention, or on the contrary, b) question these obstacles and find justifications for intervention. The possibilities for intervention are further explored by analyzing the ways in which the dynamics between the different frames allow redefinition of domestic violence interventions. Despite the challenges involved in a domestic violence intervention, there seems to be potential for change in personal attitudes and reform of professional practices. The research findings underline the role of social and health care professionals as members of a larger chain of service providers working collaboratively against domestic violence. Implications for practice and directions in policy and future research are suggested.
