Notes:	This study looks at the knowledge, attitudes, responses and clinical experiences of healthcare workers to domestic violence in a variety of specialities using a self-administered questionnaire. Results indicated a far less detection of domestic violence than crime figures, and even though the attitude of the workers to domestic violence was sympathetic and supportive, knowledge about the issues was inconsistent and deficient. Women, nurses and mental health workers reported better knowledge and more positive attitudes than other respondents. The study concludes that there is a great need for more training into the issues of domestic violence for healthcare workers.
