Abstract:
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a global public health issue and poses a substantial threat to women's health and well-being. The healthcare sector has an important role in identifying and responding to this, yet often the violence goes unnoticed. This study aims to examine general practitioners' (GPs) approach to identifying women exposed to IPV. Qualitative semi-structured interviews including fictive scenarios were conducted with 11 GPs (3 men) from 10 primary care clinics and analysed thematically. Findings showed that participating GPs considered IPV important to identify, yet reported variations in how and when to do so. Trust in the patient-doctor relationship and collegiality were further emphasized. Some reflected upon their own prejudices related to socioeconomic status and cultural background as a barrier to ask about IPV, a finding of importance from an equity perspective. Lack of adherence to guidelines and routines was also highlighted. Directed efforts to increase competencies, improve routines and provide support are recommended.
