Healthcare providers’ readiness to screen for intimate partner violence in obstetrics and gynecology units in Amhara regional state referral hospitals, Ethiopia: validation and cross-sectional survey using the DVHCPSS tool
In this study, fewer than half of the healthcare providers were found to be ready to screen for IPV. Factors that significantly influenced their readiness included the availability of training on IPV, positive attitudes toward IPV screening, adequate knowledge about IPV, and access to IPV screening guidelines within their work environment.
