A workshop significantly improved healthcare professionals' knowledge and attitudes toward domestic violence victims. While skills improved initially, long-term retention varied, highlighting the need for ongoing training in domestic violence detection and care.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Medical Education
  • Social Sciences

Background:

  • Domestic violence presents a significant public health crisis in the U.S.
  • Healthcare professionals require enhanced training to effectively address domestic violence.
  • Existing educational programs need evaluation for impact on knowledge, attitudes, and skills.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the effectiveness of a domestic violence workshop for healthcare professionals.
  • To measure changes in knowledge, attitudes, and skills related to domestic violence victim care.
  • To evaluate the sustainability of these changes over time.

Main Methods:

  • A pre-intervention and post-intervention survey design was employed.
  • Participants completed surveys measuring knowledge, attitudes, and self-assessed skills.

  • Follow-up assessments were conducted at 6 months to evaluate sustained impact.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant improvements were observed in knowledge, attitudes, and skills immediately following the workshop.
    • Knowledge and attitude improvements were sustained at a significant level after 6 months.
    • Rates of domestic violence detection and documentation by healthcare professionals did not change.

    Conclusions:

    • The workshop effectively enhanced healthcare professionals' understanding and attitudes towards domestic violence.
    • Sustained improvements require further strategies to integrate routine screening and clearly define professional roles.
    • Future educational initiatives should focus on long-term practice change and consistent screening protocols.
