The researchers aimed to identify the gaps in competencies designed to help medical students to deal with Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) in key Mozambican medical schools curricula. A survey was administered to 3rd and 6th-year medical students (N387), enrolled in five medical schools in Mozambique. The instrument focused on mapping students' perceived mastery of their knowledge, skills, and attitudes related to IPV. In total, 387 medical students (RR 66%) participated in the survey. The overall mean perceived mastery of IPV competence was 36.18 (SD = 24.52) for knowledge, 32.01 (SD = 27.37) for skills, and 43.47 (SD = 27.58) for attitudes. Though 6th-year students reported a significantly higher mastery level, it is still below a mastery-learning benchmark of 80%. Medical students report critically low levels in their mastery of IPV- related competencies. This implies a need for a more comprehensive approach to developing knowledge, skills, and attitudes to deal with the victims of IPV.
研究人员旨在找出莫桑比克主要医学院校课程中旨在帮助医学生应对亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)的能力方面的差距。对莫桑比克五所医学院的三年级和六年级医学生(共387名)进行了一项调查。该调查工具侧重于梳理学生对与亲密伴侣暴力相关的知识、技能和态度的掌握情况。共有387名医学生(回复率66%)参与了此次调查。亲密伴侣暴力能力方面的总体平均掌握程度在知识方面为36.18(标准差=24.52),技能方面为32.01(标准差=27.37),态度方面为43.47(标准差=27.58)。尽管六年级学生报告的掌握水平明显更高,但仍低于80%的掌握学习基准。医学生报告称,他们对亲密伴侣暴力相关能力的掌握程度极低。这意味着需要采取更全面的方法来培养应对亲密伴侣暴力受害者的知识、技能和态度。
