Abstract

This ethnographic study examines the experiences of health care providers (HCPs) and advocates implementing intimate partner violence (IPV) screening and interventions in their health care organizations. Numerous policies and protocols have been developed to improve the response of HCPs to survivors of IPV. Typically studies have focused on HCPs with little attention to the role of organizations in providing care. The findings from this study highlight that even with IPV programs in place the organizational environment can contribute to suboptimal outcomes. Identified challenges included time constraints, organizational expectations for increased productivity, and dwindling organizational support and services for IPV. With the continuing debate regarding universal screening, this study illuminates the need for clinicians to have a supportive clinical environment and resources for IPV screening and intervention.
