Abstract
Objective: To explore Thai health care providers' perceptions of screening for intimate partner violence (IPV).
Design: This study used a qualitative approach to explore Thai health care providers' perceptions of IPV screening.
Setting: Four focus groups of health care providers working in secondary and tertiary hospitals in northeast Thailand.
Participants: Thirty-two health care providers (30 nurses and 2 social workers) experienced in women's health care and working in hospitals in northeast Thailand.
Results: Findings reflected four categories: The Importance of Screening for IPV, Factors Related to IPV Screening, Barriers to IPV Screening, and Strategies to Promote IPV Screening.
Conclusion: Our results highlight the significance of IPV screening in connecting survivors to help; challenges faced by providers, such as cultural norms and lack of training; and recommendations for policymakers to enhance IPV screening in Thailand.
