To explore knowledge, attitudes and practices of health workers in Mulago hospital towards domestic violence prevention and management, especially violence during pregnancy.
From 5(th) to 25(th) March 2000, self-administered pre-coded questionnaires were given to a purposively selected sample of 48 health workers identified from staff of the Obstetrics and Gynaecology department, Mulago hospital, Uganda. The questionnaire had 22 statements assessing knowledge, attitudes and practices, to which participants gave responses on a Likert scale ranging from whether they agreed, disagreed or were undecided. Responses were analyzed in terms of frequencies and percentages. To corroborate information obtained, in-depth interviews were conducted with clinic and ward administrators on knowledge, attitudes, practices and barriers to survivors' management.
Many respondents had poor knowledge of domestic violence management or prevention. Though they believed counseling survivors was necessary, none of the in-depth interviewees had counseling skills or had ever referred patients or survivors for such counseling. Lack of technical competence, negative attitudes and institutional constraints were cited as main barriers to provision of optimal care to survivors.
Health workers of Mulago hospital lacked knowledge on management, had negative attitudes and provided sub-optimal care to domestic violence survivors.
探讨穆拉戈医院医护人员对家庭暴力预防与管理，尤其是孕期暴力的认知、态度和做法。
2000年3月5日至25日，对从乌干达穆拉戈医院妇产科工作人员中特意挑选出的48名医护人员发放自行填写的预编码问卷。问卷包含22条陈述，用于评估认知、态度和做法，参与者需根据李克特量表做出回应，表明同意、不同意或不确定。对回应进行频率和百分比分析。为证实所获信息，对诊所和病房管理人员就幸存者管理的认知、态度、做法及障碍进行了深入访谈。
许多受访者对家庭暴力管理或预防的认知较差。尽管他们认为为幸存者提供咨询很有必要，但深入访谈的人员中无人具备咨询技能，也从未将患者或幸存者转介接受此类咨询。缺乏技术能力、消极态度和制度限制被视为为幸存者提供最佳护理的主要障碍。
穆拉戈医院的医护人员缺乏管理知识，态度消极，为家庭暴力幸存者提供的护理欠佳。
