Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a public health issue with recent intervention focus by home visiting programs with at-risk families in the United States. Home visitors are typically required to assess IPV but feel unprepared to do so and desire training. Our aim was to evaluate the impact of a daylong IPV training on the intention to enact three key IPV behaviors (screening, making referrals, and safety planning) using the theory of planned behavior.
Survey of 125 home visitors in West Virginia was conducted before and after a daylong IPV training.
The IPV training had a positive impact on intention to perform the three behaviors of interest, with the greatest impact on the intention to conduct IPV screenings.
Results provide important preliminary evidence supporting the effectiveness of professional development as a means of increasing intentions to conduct activities related to IPV. The impact on IPV screening intention is promising because screening is the first step in addressing IPV.
The IPV training proved beneficial in increasing intentions and such trainings should be expanded, but further study is needed to link intentions to subsequent behaviors to address IPV with at-risk families.
亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）是一个公共卫生问题，美国针对有风险家庭的家访项目最近将干预重点放在了这方面。家访人员通常需要评估亲密伴侣暴力情况，但他们觉得没有做好这样做的准备，因此希望接受培训。我们的目的是利用计划行为理论，评估为期一天的亲密伴侣暴力培训对实施三种关键亲密伴侣暴力行为（筛查、进行转介和制定安全计划）意愿的影响。
对西弗吉尼亚州的125名家访人员在为期一天的亲密伴侣暴力培训前后进行了调查。
亲密伴侣暴力培训对实施三种相关行为的意愿产生了积极影响，对进行亲密伴侣暴力筛查意愿的影响最大。
研究结果提供了重要的初步证据，支持将专业发展作为一种提高开展与亲密伴侣暴力相关活动意愿的手段的有效性。对亲密伴侣暴力筛查意愿的影响很有前景，因为筛查是解决亲密伴侣暴力问题的第一步。
亲密伴侣暴力培训被证明有助于提高意愿，此类培训应予以推广，但需要进一步研究将意愿与后续行为联系起来，以便解决有风险家庭的亲密伴侣暴力问题。
