“…However, at a 2-year follow-up, the same researchers found that some IPV knowledge was not retained (Ernst et al, 2000). Ernst (2006) recommended reemphasizing IPV training multiple times throughout medical school. We are not aware of any studies that have examined the effect of multiple IPV training opportunities.…”

Training in intimate partner violence (IPV) improves health professionals' knowledge and comfort regarding IPV; the optimal training frequency and format is unknown. We assessed how various types and amounts of IPV education for medical students affected knowledge and attitudes. Medical students at a large, urban university completed a survey concerning IPV-related knowledge and attitudes and participation in didactic and experiential IPV training activities. This was a one-time assessment. Of 586 students, 279 (48%) completed the survey. IPV-related knowledge increased with increased number of training activities. Knowledge and attitude scores were higher (p < .001) for respondents with experiential, versus only didactic, activities.

“…23 The acute health care setting may be one such potential venue. 24 A recent editorial citing the presence of IPV perpetrators in the emergency department setting called for research on their identifi cation and potential for treatment, 25 as the emergency department may be the only contact with a health care clinician for low-income and medically underinsured patients. 26 Previous work suggests both male and female patients will disclose IPV perpetration and victimization on a computer-based health risk assessment in an emergency department setting, knowing the clinician will see the results.…”

PURPOSE We wanted to explore the associations between intimate partner violence (IPV) and comorbid health conditions, which have received little attention in male patients.METHODS Using a computer-based self-assessment health questionnaire, we screened sequential emergency department patients who were urban, male, and aged 18 to 55 years. We then examined associations between types of IPV disclosures, co-occurring mental health symptoms, and adverse health behaviors. RESULTSOf 1,669 men seeking nonurgent health care, 1,122 (67.2%) consented to be screened, and 1,026 (91%) completed the screening; 712 (63%) were in a relationship in the past year. Of these men, 261 (37%) disclosed IPV: 20% (n = 144) disclosed victimization only, 6% (n = 40) disclosed perpetration only, and 11% (n = 77) disclosed bidirectional IPV (defi ned as both victimization and perpetration in their relationships). Men disclosing both victimization and perpetration had the highest frequencies and levels of adverse mental health symptoms. Rates of smoking, alcohol abuse, and drug use were likewise higher in IPV-involved men.CONCLUSIONS A cumulative risk of poor mental health and adverse health behaviors was associated with IPV disclosures. Self-disclosure by men seeking acute health care provides the potential for developing tools to assess level of risk and to guide tailored interventions and referrals based on the sex of the patient. 2009;7:47-55. DOI: 10.1370/afm.936. Ann Fam Med INTRODUCTIONI ntimate partner violence (IPV), defi ned as a pattern of assaultive and coercive behaviors in intimate relationships, remains a major public health concern in the United States.1,2 The health care system advocates screening women for victimization and referring them to legal and community-based advocacy services. Both men and women, however, perpetrate a wide range of emotional and physical violence against their intimate partners, and 3-5 bidirectional IPV may be more common than generally recognized in medical settings. 6,7 Substance abuse and mental health problems have been found to be major cofactors in IPV, [8][9][10] and there is reason to believe that interventions aimed at reducing violent behavior will be only marginally effective if co-occurring mental health and substance abuse problems are ignored. [11][12][13][14][15] Recent research targeting substance use along with IPV behavior is promising. [16][17][18] The US Preventative Service Task Forces ranked the evidence in favor of routine screening for family violence as inconclusive and raised concerns for possible harm from retaliatory IPV after disclosure. Although it is reasonable to consider whether IPV-involved men could benefi t from treatment Karin V. Rhodes, MD 48 IN T IM AT E PA R T NER V IOL ENC Eunder a medical model, the topic requires more study. Numerous studies quantify the co-occurrence of IPV and adverse mental health symptoms and substance use in women patients, [19][20][21] but fewer address these issues in IPV-involved men. 22 In fact, there are few venues for ...

There is a growing use of email-based provision of information, development of health-related skills and interventions; however, use of email to assist women and children experiencing abuse after receiving Protection from Abuse (PFA) court order has not been explored. The specific aim of this research was to test the feasibility of an email device called MIVO for use in interacting with women and children after receiving PFA. This qualitative design used a three-step recruitment, screening and email interaction with mothers and their adolescent child after obtaining informed consent and training in the use of an email device. Sample included six pairs of mother and child (n = 12) who have received a PFA within the past 6 months. Demographic data were gathered using the sociodemographic questionnaire. Qualitative data were gathered using email messages from mother and child pairs. Results showed that email interaction is a feasible and acceptable way of providing support and information to survivors of abuse after their PFA. The following themes in their order and rank of appearance were found in the email interaction between the nurse and survivors: (1) safety issues; (2) job-related issues; (3) school-related issues; (4) parenting-related issues; and (5) health-related issues. Themes identified for the children were school work and friends. Privacy, confidentiality and respect for individual rights are paramount in email interactions. Email interaction is useful in education, screening, safety instructions and follow-up care. Technological devices such as MIVO may have usefulness as an email interaction device among women, their child and a nurse to reduce their risk for further interpersonal violence/abuse and to increase disclosure of abuse. Healthcare providers need to identify technological developments, and through evidence-based research examine their feasibility and adaptability for translation into practice specifically, in caring for survivors of abuse.
