According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Sociology
  • Public Health
  • Physician Well-being

Background:

  • Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant public health issue globally.
  • Limited research exists on the prevalence and characteristics of IPV among physicians.
  • Physicians, like the general population, are susceptible to experiencing IPV.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) experienced by U.S. physicians.
  • To identify demographic and clinical factors associated with IPV among physicians.
  • To inform the development of targeted educational and intervention strategies for physicians experiencing IPV.

Main Methods:

  • A multicenter survey was conducted among 4 physician groups between 2015 and 2016.
  • 400 physicians completed surveys assessing current IPV, childhood abuse, mental health, professional role, and demographics.
  • Statistical analyses, including logistic regression, were used to identify predictors of IPV.

Main Results:

  • 24% of surveyed physicians reported experiencing IPV.
  • Verbal abuse (15%) was the most common form, followed by physical (8%), sexual (4%), and stalking (4%).
  • IPV was more prevalent in older physicians, those with a history of childhood abuse, part-time workers, and individuals diagnosed with personality disorders. Women and Asian Americans reported slightly higher rates.

Conclusions:

  • Physicians experience IPV at rates comparable to or exceeding national averages.
  • Findings underscore the need for universal IPV screening and education within medical settings.
  • Development of specialized workplace interventions and recovery programs is crucial for supporting physicians affected by IPV.
