Strengthening Nonspecialist Health Care Providers’ Capacity to Address Mental Health in the Context of Domestic Violence in Nepal: Pre–Post Mixed Methods Training Evaluation
Structured mental health training significantly improved both knowledge and attitudes among nonspecialist HCPs in public health facilities in Madhesh Province. Participants also reported increased confidence in addressing common mental health concerns. This training model has potential for scale-up in other resource-limited settings to build frontline capacity in managing mental health problems and supporting women experiencing IPV or DV.
