dc.description.abstract | Introduction: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a public health crisis involving multiple abuse behaviors. Long-term exposure to IPV is detrimental to health. Unfortunately, while many pharmacists are interested in providing resources and acting as an intervention point, they lack knowledge and feel their current level of training is inadequate. Purpose: To examine the effectiveness of a continuing education (CE) on pharmacists’ knowledge, understanding and confidence in identifying risk factors and warning signs of IPV. This project also aimed to determine whether certain demographics play a relevant role in pharmacists’ Physician Readiness to Manage Intimate Partner Violence Survey (PREMIS) domain scores. Methods: Pre/post surveys, derived from PREMIS, were administered to participants of an IPV CE module from March 20th through April 24th, 2023. Scaled scores were calculated for the domains in the PREMIS survey and analyzed using paired t-tests to compare perceptions of pharmacists before and after taking the CE. Results: A total of 12 survey responses were analyzed to determine a change in participants’ PREMIS domains before and after completing the IPV CE. The average participant was a female in their 30’s-50’s with no previous IPV training and over 15 years of pharmacy experience. The pre/post survey found statistically significant changes in individuals’ preparedness (<.001), perceived role (<.001), and opinion (.002) on intimate partner violence. There was no statistical significance found in knowledge and behavior scores, despite small improvements seen. Conclusions: This CE can change pharmacists’ view of their potential role, preparedness and opinions about IPV | en_US |
