| dc.description.notes | Reviews the findings of a qualitative study of community heath workers from a predominantly rural-based region in Queensland. Examines the difficulties and obstacles faced by community health workers in this region, specifically relating to identification, intervention and assessment of cases of domestic violence. The study revealed that health workers were reluctant to report or become involved in violence against women. The research categorised these reasons into three groups: barriers to identification; barriers to assessment; and barriers to intervention. These barriers were primarily caused by under funding, inadequate resources, lack of knowledge and skills, and specifically the hidden nature of domestic violence in rural communities. Recommended that existing training programmes available to rural health workers be aware of these three factors affecting reports of domestic violence; that more training programmes be provided for rural workers; and the provision of more resources, staff, and support. The training should include screening procedures and interview techniques; should address negative attitudes and myths; and should promote networking opportunities for rural health workers. | en |
