摘要
家庭暴力是一个全球性的公共卫生和社会问题,具有严重的身体和心理后果。在COVID-19封城期间,DV的发病率显著上升。医疗保健专业人员(HCPs),特别是在急诊科,往往是受害者的第一个接触点,并在识别和干预方面发挥关键作用。本研究旨在评估在COVID-19封锁期间,急诊科医护人员对约旦妇女遭受家暴的知识和态度。一项描述性横断面研究在453名HCPs的方便样本中进行。大多数医护人员对家庭暴力有很好的了解(79.7%),对帮助受害者持普遍积极的态度(77%)。大多数HCPs(90.1%)认为家庭暴力是一个重要的医疗问题。不同暴力形式的知识水平差异显著,心理意识较高(F = 3.37, p p p p >.05)。虽然约旦急诊科的医务人员普遍对家庭暴力表现出良好的知识和态度,但在认识非身体形式的虐待方面仍然存在差距。需要有针对性的培训计划和结构化协议,以加强在常规和危机情况下(如流行病)的识别、支持和转诊实践。
Knowledge and attitudes of emergency healthcare professionals toward domestic violence against women during the COVID-19 lockdown.
Domestic violence (DV) is a global public health and social issue with serious physical and psychological consequences. The incidence of DV rose significantly during the COVID-19 lockdowns. Healthcare professionals (HCPs), especially in emergency departments, are often the first point of contact for victims and play a crucial role in identification and intervention. This study aimed to assess the knowledge and attitudes of HCPs in emergency departments toward DV against Jordanian women during the COVID-19 lockdown. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among a convenience sample of 453 HCPs. The majority of HCPs demonstrated good knowledge of DV (79.7 percent) and a generally positive attitude toward assisting victims (77 percent). Most HCPs (90.1 percent) considered DV a significant healthcare issue. Knowledge levels differed significantly across forms of violence, with higher awareness of psychological (F = 3.37, p < .05), physical (F = 2.53, p < .05), and sexual abuse (F = 6.10, p < .001), but not deprivation or neglect (F = 1.83, p > .05). While HCPs in Jordanian emergency departments generally show good knowledge and attitudes toward DV, gaps remain in recognizing nonphysical forms of abuse. Tailored training programs and structured protocols are needed to enhance identification, support, and referral practices in both routine and crisis contexts, such as pandemics.
