Abstract
This cross-sectional study describes knowledge, perceived competence, and behaviors relative to intimate partner violence (IPV)-related brain injury (BI) among staff in residential domestic violence shelter programs across a New England state. A 23-item questionnaire was administered to registrants of an online IPV-related BI training series. Within this sample, knowledge about IPV-related BI was high, but relative to providing screening, accommodations, and specialized referrals to survivors with BI, perceived competence was low, and behaviors were infrequent. IPV shelter agencies should facilitate IPV-related BI training programs for staff and prioritize developing and implementing BI screening, accommodation, and referral policies and procedures.
这项横断面研究描述了新英格兰某州家庭暴力收容所项目工作人员对亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)相关脑损伤(BI)的了解、认知能力和行为。我们向参加 IPV 相关脑损伤在线系列培训的人员发放了一份包含 23 个项目的调查问卷。在该样本中,对 IPV 相关 BI 的了解程度较高,但相对于为有 BI 的幸存者提供筛查、住宿和专门转介服务而言,他们的认知能力较低,行为也不频繁。IPV 庇护机构应为员工提供与 IPV 相关的 BI 培训项目,并优先制定和实施 BI 筛查、住宿及转介政策和程序。
