  • To examine the legal and ethical dilemmas faced by healthcare providers in managing IPV cases.
  • To highlight the need for advocacy and social action to combat IPV.

Main Methods:

  • The study synthesizes existing knowledge on IPV prevalence and impact.
  • It analyzes legal and ethical considerations in healthcare interventions for IPV.
  • Discussion includes patient disclosure patterns and reasons for non-approval of interventions.

Main Results:

  • IPV disclosure often occurs when patients report poor health or depression.
  • Healthcare providers face legal dilemmas when patients refuse intervention, fearing repercussions.
  • Ethical challenges involve balancing patient autonomy with the duty to prevent harm.

Conclusions:

  • Legal reforms, such as criminalizing spousal rape, can enhance women's autonomy.
  • Healthcare providers must address ethical dilemmas, including intervention without consent and the 'Do No Harm' principle.
  • Professional advocacy and societal action are crucial for reducing IPV.
