Primary healthcare providers’ perceived preparedness to respond to intimate partner violence in the public primary healthcare setting: a cross-sectional study
A high percentage of Malaysian PHCPs have not received IPV training, and only a small proportion felt they are prepared to manage IPV, with even fewer possessing adequate knowledge about IPV. These findings highlight the urgent need to prioritize IPV training programs at the primary care level to better equip PHCPs with the knowledge and skills necessary to manage IPV effectively.
