Domestic violence (DV) can threaten women's health. Healthcare providers (HCPs) may be the first to come into contact with a victim of DV. Their appropriate performance regarding a DV victim can decrease its complications. The aim of the present study was to investigate HCPs' performance regarding women experiencing DV in emergency and maternity wards of hospitals in Isfahan, Iran.
The present descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted among 300 HCPs working in emergency and maternity wards in hospitals in Isfahan. The participants were selected using quota random sampling from February to May 2016. A researcher-made questionnaire containing the five items of HCPs performance regarding DV (assessment, intervention, documentation, reference, and follow-up) was used to collect data. The reliability and validity of the questionnaire were confirmed, and the collected data were analyzed using SPSS software. Cronbach's alpha was used to assess the reliability of the questionnaires. To present a general description of the data (variables, mean, and standard deviation), the table of frequencies was designed.
The performance of the participants regarding DV in the assessment (mean = 64.22), intervention (mean = 68.55), and reference stages (mean = 68.32) were average. However, in the documentation (mean = 72.55) and follow-up stages (mean = 23.10), their performance was good and weak respectively (criterion from 100).
Based on the results, because of defects in providing services for women experiencing DV, a practical indigenous guideline should be provided to treat and support these women.
家庭暴力会威胁女性健康。医疗服务提供者可能是最先接触到家庭暴力受害者的人。他们对家庭暴力受害者的妥善处理能够减少其并发症。本研究的目的是调查伊朗伊斯法罕医院急诊科和产科医护人员对遭受家庭暴力女性的处理情况。
本描述性横断面研究在伊斯法罕医院急诊科和产科工作的300名医护人员中进行。采用配额随机抽样法于2016年2月至5月选取研究对象。使用一份由研究者编制的问卷收集数据，该问卷包含医护人员对家庭暴力处理的五个项目（评估、干预、记录、转诊和随访）。问卷的信效度得到确认，收集的数据使用SPSS软件进行分析。采用Cronbach's alpha系数评估问卷的信度。为了对数据（变量、均值和标准差）进行总体描述，设计了频率表。
参与者在家庭暴力评估（均值 = 64.22）、干预（均值 = 68.55）和转诊阶段（均值 = 68.32）的表现为中等。然而，在记录（均值 = 72.55）和随访阶段（均值 = 23.10），他们的表现分别为良好和较差（满分100分）。
基于研究结果，由于在为遭受家庭暴力的女性提供服务方面存在缺陷，应制定切实可行的本土指南来治疗和支持这些女性。
