Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices of Domestic Violence and Abuse (DVA) Among Healthcare Providers of a Tertiary Referral Hospital: A Cross-Sectional Study
<i> </i>The study highlights existing gaps in knowledge and attitudes toward DVA within a maternity care setting and shows that healthcare providers themselves are not immune to interpersonal violence. Regular training, sensitization, and routine DVA screening during hospital visits are essential to ensure timely care, accurate documentation, and appropriate referrals for survivors.
