Book excerpt: "Intimate partner violence (IPV) is physical, sexual or psychological harm caused by a partner or ex-partner that can lead to serious consequences like injury, homicide and suicide. Although 84% of women tell friends and family about IPV, only 21% tell doctors, nurses or other healthcare providers about it. A literature review revealed five themes related to barriers to screening for IPV: lack of time, lack of standardized protocols and tools, lack of knowledge, lack of privacy and provider discomfort. An adaptation of the Johari Window, a tool used for self-awareness, was used to examine these themes. This is a descriptive qualitative study where eleven providers in the tri-county area of Michigan were interviewed to determine their perceived barriers to screening for IPV. Demographic and interview questions were adapted from the literature. Data analysis was completed by first analyzing interviews for themes, then analyzing the themes in the context of the Johari Window. Interviews revealed barriers and facilitators to screening which fit into six themes: patient's unwillingness to disclose, lack of privacy, provider discomfort, lack of time, a lack of standardized protocols and tools, lack of knowledge. The patinpatient'singness to disclose was the most prevalent theme in this study and was not identified in previous studies. The themes were analyzed using the Johari Window framework. Awareness of barriers to screening for IPV can allow providers to assess patient's individually and intervene appropriately when attempting to increase disclosure in primary care." -- From page iv.
