BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to measure the prevalence of intimate
partner and family violence amongst a population of Australian female nurses,
doctors and allied health professionals. METHODS: We conducted a descriptive,
cross-sectional survey in a large Australian tertiary maternity hospital with 471
participating female health professionals (45.0% response rate). The primary
outcome measures were 12 month and lifetime prevalence of intimate partner
violence (Composite Abuse Scale) and family violence. RESULTS: In the last
12 months, one in ten (43, 11.5%) participants reported intimate partner
violence: 4.2% (16) combined physical, emotional and/or sexual abuse; 6.7% (25)
emotional abuse and/or harassment; 5.1% (22) were afraid of their partner; and
1.7% (7) had been raped by their partner. Since the age of sixteen, one third
(125, 29.7%) of participants reported intimate partner violence: 18.3% (77) had
experienced combined physical, emotional and/or sexual abuse; 8.1% (34) emotional
abuse and/or harassment; 25.6% (111) had been afraid of their partner; and 12.1%
(51) had been raped by their partner. Overall, 45.2% (212) of participants
reported violence by a partner and/or family member during their lifetime, with
12.8% (60) reporting both. CONCLUSION: Intimate partner and family violence may
be common traumas in the lives of female health professionals, and this should be
considered in health workplace policies and protocols, as health professionals
are increasingly urged to work with patients who have experienced intimate
partner and family violence. Implications include the need for workplace manager
training, special leave provision, counselling services and other resources for
staff.
