Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a sensitive, growing, and preventable health issue that affects many people around the world with significant physical and psychological impacts. Factors associated with an increased risk of perpetrating violence include low education, child maltreatment and exposure to violence in the family, attitudes accepting of violence, and gender inequality. However, encounters between victims exposed to IPV and healthcare providers are often not satisfactory, and therefore, several barriers preventing healthcare providers from responding to IPV have been documented. More efforts are needed at different levels to implement preventive measures and to improve the detection and management of IPV victims, especially at front-line health settings like family practices and emergency care services. Several interventions have been suggested to improve the healthcare responses to IPV, including developing protocols, training of health professionals to raise the awareness of providers, transferring know-how, and convincing them to respond to IPV.
亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）是一个敏感且日益严重但可预防的健康问题，影响着世界各地许多人，会造成重大的身体和心理影响。与实施暴力风险增加相关的因素包括低教育水平、儿童期受虐待以及在家庭中接触暴力、接受暴力的态度和性别不平等。然而，遭受亲密伴侣暴力的受害者与医疗保健提供者之间的接触往往不尽如人意，因此，已记录了一些阻碍医疗保健提供者应对亲密伴侣暴力的障碍。需要在不同层面做出更多努力来实施预防措施，并改善对亲密伴侣暴力受害者的发现和管理，尤其是在家庭医疗和急诊服务等一线医疗场所。已经提出了几种干预措施来改善医疗保健机构对亲密伴侣暴力的应对，包括制定方案、培训卫生专业人员以提高提供者的认识、传授专业知识并说服他们应对亲密伴侣暴力。
