“…8 Women experiencing IPV often seek help from a wide range of health care professionals. 1,9 They are overrepresented in visits to both outpatient departments and in primary care with only approximately a third of abused women disclosing a history of abuse to their GP. 10 The reluctance of primary health care, including GPs, to inquire about IPV is associated with a lack of time, training and appropriate and effective referral pathways.…”

“…12,14 Clinicians frequently underestimate the prevalence of IPV and have misconceptions about victim characteristics, risk factors, signs and symptoms of violence and co-morbidity patterns relating to violence. 9,[15][16][17][18][19] This lack of knowledge is one of the major factors contributing to the failure of health professionals to screen, detect, or acknowledge violence among women. 12,15 Despite some midwives' hesitancy in asking women about violence in their relationship, women themselves find the questioning acceptable in maternity settings.…”

Participating midwives generally reported a high level of knowledge about intimate partner violence but held misconceptions about risks and characteristics of perpetrators of violence. These knowledge gaps may adversely affect their ability to identify women at risk of violence. Education about intimate partner violence was associated with improved knowledge. Future training and education on intimate partner violence should target identified knowledge gaps.

“…No obstante, diversos estudios reportan que las mujeres que han padecido violencia por parte de su pareja y recurren al sector salud por ese motivo, reciben servicios deficientes (Plichta, 2007;Tower, 2007;Taket et al, 2003;McGrath, 1997;Waalen et al, 2000). En México, los obstáculos para lograr una atención y prevención adecuada por parte del sector salud al problema de la violencia incluye diversos factores, entre los cuales figuran desde fallos estructurales en las organizaciones de la salud hasta limitaciones por parte del personal que labora en las mismas (ver Herrara, 2013).…”

Partner violence against women in México: a look at the attention of the health sector from an intersectional perspective Anahely Medrano CONACyT-BUAP Victor Manuel Figueras BUAP Martha Miranda BUAP AbstractIn Mexico, violence against women is a social pandemic. Most of this violence is generated in the home, usually at the hands of their partners. The range of actions that the government, and society in general, can implement to attend this problem is ample; particularly the health sector performance in this work is crucial. Given the persistence of this problem, the analysis of how the health sector has responded to it is essential for designing more effective public policies. The aim of this paper is to analyze the differences in the public health response to women victims of violence in Mexico, from an intersectional perspective. To do this, this quantitative analysis is based on data ENDIREH 2011. The results show that serious problems of attention to battered women in the health sector persist. These problems are widespread among different groups of women; no substantial differences prevail among indigenous women or those living in poverty. These results warn of implications of the health sector deficiencies on the wellbeing of women affected by domestic violence. Keywords ResumenEn México, la violencia contra las mujeres es una pandemia social. La mayor parte de esta violencia se genera en el ámbito doméstico, comúnmente a manos de sus parejas. El abanico de acciones que el gobierno, y la sociedad en general, pueden poner en práctica para atender este problema es amplio; particularmente, el desempeño del sector salud en esta labor es fundamental. Ante la persistencia de este problema, el análisis de la forma en que el sector salud ha respondido al mismo resulta indispensable para diseñar políticas públicas más efectivas. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar las diferencias en el trato que reciben las mujeres víctimas de violencia en diferentes entidades del sector salud en México, desde una perspectiva interseccional. Para ello, se realiza análisis cuantitativo con base en los datos de ENDIREH 2011. Los resultados muestran que persisten serios problemas de atención a mujeres violentadas en el sector salud. Estos problemas son generalizados entre distintos grupos de mujeres; no hay diferencias sustanciales entre las que están en condición de pobreza o son indígenas. Estos resultados advierten sobre las implicaciones de las deficiencias registradas por parte de las instituciones públicas para el bienestar de mujeres que sufren violencia.Palabras clave: violencia de pareja íntima, interseccionalidad, pobreza, sector salud

We explored how Korean American (KA) physicians in the Los Angeles area respond in their medical practice to Korean immigrant women with a history of intimate partner violence (IPV). Twenty physicians were recruited and interviewed in-depth. Grounded theory analyses revealed that KA physicians' responses to IPV ranged from denying signs of IPV and trivializing IPV to acknowledging IPV. Physician response was related to the degree to which he or she was enculturated in mainstream medical practice norms in the United States. We advance current knowledge on physicians' IPV screening and intervention practices by exploring the practices of KA physicians, in particular.
