What do women experiencing domestic violence expect from healthcare professionals? A qualitative study in Sri Lanka
A multisectoral approach including a proper referral system and social support between health and other social services is a timely recommendation, given the women's requests for financial and instrumental social support, which go beyond the health sector. The women's requests for HCPs to talk with both women and their partners to resolve their issues is a more complex and new finding, which warrants further exploration.
