•Title: STUDY OF IMS AND SSH STAFF REGARDING THEIR ATTITUDES AND EXPERIENCES OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

•CONCLUSION:

In this study, trained medical workers had a better opportunity of coming into touch with victims of DV and providing support to them as they have more knowledge and access to the services.

But they were less sure that it was part of their job to enquire with patients about their personal experiences with the issue.

It was found that the health care professionals had more exposure to the victims of DV and were more aware that enquiring about this is a part of their job, nonetheless they also worried about their relationship with the patient.

•Also they are more likely to turn to friends and family for DV rather than taking help from dedicated services for the same.

•Both the study groups were worried about the effects of DV in pregnant women and its effect on the growing fetus.

• Both groups of students and qualified health care professionals in medical and nursing schools were more likely to seek support from friends and family members.

•Majority of the students thought that the approach of the government towards the DV issue is adequate with some betterment while the qualified health care professionals realize this to be inadequate.

•In the response of the fact that corona virus era has made the condition worse both the groups of students and qualified health care professionals have responded in affirmation.

•The circumstance is becoming somewhat worse as the corona virus season continued the majority of the students were more in favor of providing dedicated help services to the DV victims than qualified health care professionals.

•This may be due to the fact that the qualified professionals are already overburdened by the present patient load in the government setting.
