“…Lack of training was stressed by social workers in the current study as one of the main barriers to effective IPV management, contributing to low perceived self-efficacy. Previous research has already provided evidence on the failure of health professionals who lack knowledge to detect or acknowledge partner violence (Cassidy, 1999; Cole, 1999; Garcia-Moreno, 2002; Griffin & Koss, 2002; Stark, 2001). A survey of licensed social workers found professional experience and academic preparation to be significant predictors of higher self-efficacy (Danis, 2004).…”

Although abused patients are thought to access the health system at a range of potential entry points, social services are usually the only referral option within the various hospital sectors. In Greece, little is known about the prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) and the quality of care provided to cases of abuse at the social services. The current study explored the department's response to IPV cases in a Greek university hospital. Two different research methods were employed: qualitative and document research. Qualitative data were collected through personal interviews with the 10 social workers employed at the department. Document research involved the review of all registries and social history forms recorded between January 2005 and April 2009 at the department. Two predefined screening criteria were employed to identify IPV cases. Seven socio-demographic variables were abstracted from all IPV cases that met the inclusion criteria.Findings: Four main themes emerged from the qualitative analysis: 1) knowledge gap and openness to education, 2) poor assessment and recording practices, 3) concerns about intervention in confirmed cases, and 4) mistrust in referral resources. The document research revealed a total of 42 records (3.8%) having an IPV screening record present, out of the 1117 initially reviewed. The majority of the IPV patients were

Despite the overwhelming acknowledgment by health professionals that intimate partner violence is a health issue for women, the present health care response is inadequate to meet women's needs, according to Stark, in the Source Book on Violence Against Women (2001). This article examines through a postmodern lens the health care response. The dominant discourses in the literature indicate that health professionals lack knowledge about intimate partner violence, have attitudes and values that inhibit an effective response, and have no time to respond to these women. To date, strategies to improve the health care response have been limited in effectiveness as structural constraints of the health service and models of practice employed have not been addressed.

Older women can be victims of intimate partner violence (IPV), and home healthcare clinicians should know what they can do. Although there is no instrument specific to screening for IPV in older women within the home environment, home healthcare clinicians can use currently available resources and lobby for better resources to screen for and serve older women who may be victims of IPV. Forensic nursing education can provide additional skills to identify possible victims of violence, gather evidence, document findings, and provide treatment and referrals.
