abstract="In this article we describe health care workers (HCWs') experiences and perceptions of meeting clients exposed to intimate partner violence (IPV). Qualitative content analysis of in-depth interviews from 16 informants resulted in four main themes. The first,&quot;internalizing women's suffering and powerlessness,&quot;describes HCWs' perceptions of violence, relating it to gender relations. The second,&quot;caught between encouraging disclosure and lack of support tools,&quot;refers to views on possibilities for transparency and openness. The third,&quot;Why bother? A struggle to manage with limited resources,&quot;illustrates the consequences of a heavy workload. Last;&quot;striving to make a difference,&quot;emphasizes a desire to improve abilities to support clients and advocate for prevention.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
