A new tutorial effectively trains dentists to identify and respond to domestic violence (DV). This educational tool improves dentists' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding DV, empowering them to help patients experiencing abuse.

Area of Science:

  • Dental education
  • Public health
  • Domestic violence research

Background:

  • Dentists are uniquely positioned to identify and address domestic violence (DV).
  • A study evaluated an educational intervention for dentists on DV.
  • The intervention aimed to improve identification and response to DV among dental patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To test the effectiveness of a multimedia tutorial designed to educate dentists in identifying and responding to domestic violence.
  • To assess the impact of the tutorial on dentists' knowledge, attitudes, and practice behaviors regarding DV.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized controlled trial involving 174 practicing dentists.
  • Development of a brief, interactive multimedia tutorial on DV.
  • Assessment of participants' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors using a 24-question instrument and an empathy scale before and after the intervention.

Main Results:

  • The experimental group showed significant improvements in knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to DV compared to the control group (P < .01).
  • Empathy scores did not significantly correlate with changes in DV assessment scores.
  • The tutorial demonstrated effectiveness in enhancing dentists' understanding and skills in addressing DV.

Conclusions:

  • The developed tutorial is effective in equipping dentists with the necessary skills to identify and assist patients experiencing domestic violence.
  • Widespread adoption of this DV tutorial can introduce dentists to practical strategies for supporting patients affected by abuse.
  • Educational interventions can enhance healthcare professionals' capacity to address sensitive public health issues like domestic violence.
