Domestic violence is occurring in epidemic proportions in the United States. Recent surveys have shown there is a need for educational programs for health care professionals. This report presents the results of a domestic violence workshop developed to increase knowledge and improve attitudes and skills in working with victims of domestic violence. The results of the workshop, measured by preintervention and postintervention attitude, knowledge, and skills surveys, are promising. There was a significant improvement in knowledge, self-assessed skills, and attitudes after the workshop. Although the full magnitude of the changes was not sustained over time, there was still significant improvement after 6 months in knowledge and attitude. Rates of detection and documentation did not change. Future educational programs will need to address maintaining routine screening for domestic violence in the primary care setting and to highlight more clearly the role of health care professionals in the detection and treatment of domestic violence.
家庭暴力在美国正以流行的比例发生。最近的调查表明,医疗保健专业人员需要接受教育项目。本报告展示了一个家庭暴力工作坊的成果,该工作坊旨在增加知识,并改善与家庭暴力受害者合作时的态度和技能。通过干预前和干预后的态度、知识和技能调查来衡量,工作坊的成果很有前景。工作坊结束后,知识、自我评估技能和态度都有显著改善。尽管随着时间推移,这些变化的全部幅度并未持续,但6个月后知识和态度仍有显著改善。发现率和记录率没有变化。未来的教育项目将需要解决在初级保健环境中维持对家庭暴力的常规筛查问题,并更明确地强调医疗保健专业人员在家庭暴力检测和治疗中的作用。
