Abstract
This research aimed to describe screening for intimate partner violence (IPV) in women from health care providers’ perspectives. Design of study was descriptive qualitative research. Participants included 10 health care providers who were expert in and/or had experience in IPV screening at least 5 years, and worked at hospitals providing service of One Stop Crisis Centre (OSCC). They were purposively selected by inclusion criteria. Data were obtained through tape-recoded in-depth interviews and examined using content analysis. Findings indicated that health care providers’perspectives on screening for IPV revealed into three themes 1) incomprehensive screening IPV 2) contrary to beliefs and 3) discomfort to IPV disclosure. The recommendations were health care providers should be adequately trained for screening of IPV to be able to practice in their work and eliminate or reduce barriers to screening IPV. All of this will lead to the timely support of women who have suffered from IPV.
