abstract="Through qualitative interviews with six female survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) in Germany, we explored their experiences with health and health care within the context of a universal access health system. Using phenomenological analysis, we learned that they view violence as a burden on health; expect health professionals to acknowledge the link between IPV and health with empathy; and experience barriers to acute mental health services despite a lack of financial barriers in seeking treatment. We discuss how our findings compare with other international research, as well as the implications for the health care system's response to IPV.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
