TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - Implementation of an intimate partner violence screening program in a university health care clinic JO - Journal of American college health A1 - McCarthy, Jessica A1 - Bianchi, Ann SP - 1 EP - 9 VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - OBJECTIVES: To examine whether an intimate partner violence (IPV) screening program is related to a positive change in health care providers' knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy of IPV screening. PARTICIPANTS: Eleven health care providers at a university health care clinic participated in the IPV screening program.

METHODS: A one-group pretest-posttest design was used to examine whether an IPV screening program was related to a change in health care providers' knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy of IPV screening.

RESULTS: Findings indicated that there was a significant difference (p < 000) between the posttest scores and the pretest scores on the Domestic Violence Healthcare Provider Survey Scale. Domain analysis of the scale revealed a significant difference in perceived self-efficacy (p = .001), system support (p = <.002), victim provider safety (p = .015), and beliefs of blaming victims (p = <.004). No statistical difference was found in professional role resistance/fear of offending (p = .158).

CONCLUSIONS: A university health care clinic IPV screening program was related to a positive change in health care providers' knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy of IPV screening.
