MANAGEMENT OF INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE (IPV): PHYSICIANS’ READINESS IN SOUTHWESTERN NIGERIA OLALEYE AO, JAGUN OO, AJOSE AA, SOKEYE EO, OMOTOSHO A, EKOR O. Babcock University Teaching Hospital, Ilishan-Remo, Nigeria

INTRODUCTION Intimate partner violence [IPV] is an issue of global concern, with women and girls being more affected. Historically called domestic violence (dv), it includes violence that is perpetrated by intimate partners and other family members, and that is manifested through physical abuse, sexual abuse, psychological abuse, economic abuse, and acts of omission. As it is generally under-reported, physicians play an important role in the identification, management and support of such victims.

OBJECTIVES To: Assess the knowledge of physicians about intimate partner violence Evaluate physicians’ readiness for the management of intimate partner violence Identify barriers encountered by physicians in screening for intimate partner violence in Ogun state, southwestern Nigeria.

METHODS A cross-sectional survey of 200 medical doctors working in the four tertiary hospitals in ogun state was conducted. Data collection - standardized self-administered structured questionnaire which consisted of the PREMIS* toolkit and modified DVHPSS** questionnaires. Sections: respondent profile, background (including perceived preparedness and knowledge), actual knowledge and opinions. Data analyzed using the SPSS version 17 package *Physician readiness to manage intimate partner violence survey **domestic violence healthcare providers’ survey scales

RESULTS Respondents -157 (77.5%) physicians, 140 appropriate for analysis Mean age years; Average duration of practice - 8.1years. No previous domestic violence training % Most expressed a positive attitude towards helping abused victims but felt poorly prepared to ask relevant questions about IPV (38.5%) or to fulfil state reporting requirements if abuse was disclosed (55.7%). Perceived knowledge on these issues and on referral sources for IPV victims was also minimal. Barriers to management encountered by respondents include poor access to information on IPV management, inadequate knowledge of referral sources and perception of victim personality as a factor for IPV.

PERCEIVED KNOWLEDGE OF PHYSICIANS

CONCLUSION Physicians in Ogun state have inadequate knowledge of IPV, and require more access to information on its management. Though their attitude towards IPV victims is generally positive, further education is necessary to correct misconceptions. Development and dissemination of institutional protocols for IPV management and state legal reporting procedures will help improve physicians’ competence for managing IPV victims.
