Factors associated with screening for intimate partner violence by health care providers in Jordan.
Intimate partner violence (IPV) against women has been identified as a global public health problem with the profound impacts on the women's health. Screening for IPV is advocated for early identification and intervention with suspected victims. However, the information about Jordanian healthcare providers (HCPs') screening practices for IPV is limited. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate Jordanian HCPs' screening behaviors for IPV as well as the personal, professional, and institutional factors associated with screening. Data were collected by stratified quota sampling from 139 HCPs (physicians and nurses) working in hospitals and healthcare centers of two major cities in Jordan. HCPs screen for IPV more frequently when there is evidence of injury compared to other clinical conditions. Physicians perceived that they had more knowledge about IPV and self-efficacy, and were less resistant to screening than were the nurses in this study.
