目的：亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）是一个重要的公共卫生问题，影响受害者的身心健康。然而，居民和医学生可能没有得到足够的培训，以有效地识别和干预可能是IPV受害者的患者。本研究的目的是调查美国初级保健居民和医学生对IPV的背景和临床知识。方法：第三和第四年医学生（n=65）和初级保健居民（n=60）参加了2013年的在线调查。结果如下：虽然大多数参与者报告IPV是他们实践中的一个重要和相关问题，但大约一半的人从未与患者谈论过IPV。居民报告的IPV的背景和知识水平高于医学生。了解IPV的受害者，与患者谈论IPV的信心，以及与患者谈论IPV将有助于提高IPV的背景和知识水平。结论：本研究发现IPV的背景和临床知识可能会影响医生对IPV受害者的态度。这项研究还表明，需要在未来的研究，有效的方案和培训，以帮助弥合知识和实施之间的差距差距在医疗实践中的发展。
Purpose: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant public health issue that affects the physical and mental health of victims. However, residents and medical students may not receive adequate training to effectively identify and intervene with patients who may be victims of IPV. The purpose of this study is to examine the background and clinical knowledge of IPV among primary care residents and medical students in the United States of America. Methods: Third and fourth year medial students (n=65) and primary care residents (n=60) participated in an online survey in 2013. Results: While the majority of the participants reported IPV was an important and relevant issue for their practice, approximately half of them had never talked about IPV with patients. Residents reported higher levels of background and knowledge of IPV than medical students. Knowing a victim of IPV, confidence about talking to patients about IPV, and talking to patients about IPV would be helpful to increase levels of background and knowledge of IPV. Conclusions: This study found that background and clinical knowledge of IPV can potentially affect physicians' approach with IPV victims. This study also demonstrated the need for future research in the development of effective programs and trainings to help bridge the gap between knowledge and implementation in medical practice.
