Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a public health problem that demands a comprehensive health care response. Provider education and training is needed for the entire health care team, including pharmacists, to competently care for IPV-impacted patients. Standardized assessments are needed to determine need for training and to evaluate the effectiveness of IPV training initiatives. The Physician Readiness to Manage Intimate Partner Violence Survey (PREMIS) has previously been validated for physicians. This study adapted and evaluated the PREMIS instrument for use with pharmacists to assess knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and intentions related to IPV and IPV screening. A total of 144 surveys from community pharmacists were analyzed. Pharmacists had low levels of IPV knowledge. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a five-factor structure: workplace and self-efficacy, preparation, legal requirements, alcohol and drugs, and constraints. This instrument can be utilized to guide the development and implementation of IPV-related training initiatives for pharmacists.
亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)是一个需要全面医疗应对的公共卫生问题。包括药剂师在内的整个医疗团队都需要接受提供者教育和培训,以便能够胜任对受IPV影响患者的护理工作。需要进行标准化评估,以确定培训需求并评估IPV培训举措的有效性。医师管理亲密伴侣暴力准备情况调查(PREMIS)先前已在医师中得到验证。本研究对PREMIS工具进行了改编和评估,以用于药剂师,以评估与IPV和IPV筛查相关的知识、态度、行为和意图。共分析了144份社区药剂师的调查问卷。药剂师的IPV知识水平较低。探索性因素分析揭示了一个五因素结构:工作场所和自我效能感、准备情况、法律要求、酒精和药物以及限制因素。该工具可用于指导针对药剂师的与IPV相关培训举措的制定和实施。
