Deliverable 2.1: Stakeholder Needs Assessment

Résumé fourni par la source

The VIPROM project: “Victim protection in medicine: Exploiting practical knowledge of medical staff to enhance the multi-professional contact with victims of domestic violence” has set ambitious goals of developing and implementing training modules (medical curricula) specifically tailored to the needs of medical and healthcare professionals in five countries to provide appropriate and responsive support to victims of domestic violence (DV). Medical and healthcare professionals play an important role in improving the health and safety of victims through early detection, adequate care and referral to specialised victim protection services. Thus, the main aims of the VIPROM project consist of developing curricula tailored to the specific needs of the medical sector, implementing these curricula, and developing train-the-trainer programmes to teach these curricula.In order to achieve these aims, the VIPROM consortium conducted in a first step an exemplary and qualitative needs assessment in all five participating partner countries as part of Work package 2 “Needs Assessment for Sustainable Organisational Change”. This Deliverable (D2.1) presents the needs assessment (interviews and focus groups with stakeholder groups) of the following five countries: Sweden, Germany, Austria, Italy, and Greece. The work conducted under this task (T2.2) has served the twofold purpose to assess both, the specific needs for DV training in the medical sector for various stakeholder groups (physicians; dentists; nurses; midwives and students, including: medical and dental students, nursing students and students of midwifery science), but also the commonalities between them. Although the level and availability of DV training inevitably varies between the partner countries and professionals, it became clear that there are overarching issues that need to be considered when developing and delivering DV trainings.
