Following 12 months, results indicated that counselling from a family doctor did not improve the quality of life, safety planning and behaviours, mental health, anxiety symptoms, or comfort to discuss fears in women. Patients, who received counselling sessions, however did experience a decrease in depression symptoms, and were more regularly asked about their own and their child’s safety.
Was the allocation sequence adequately generated?
Was allocation adequately concealed?
Blinding Treatment Providers: Was knowledge of the allocated interventions adequately prevented?

Blinding Patients: Was knowledge of the allocated interventions adequately prevented?
Was loss to follow-up (missing outcome data) infrequent?
Are reports of the study free of suggestion of selective outcome reporting?
Were outcomes objective, patient-important and assessed in a manner to limit bias (ie. duplicate assessors, Independent assessors)?
Was the sample size sufficiently large to assure a balance of prognosis and sufficiently large number of outcome events?
Was investigator expertise/experience with both treatment and control techniques likely the same (ie.were criteria for surgeon participation/expertise provided)?

Fragility Indexは、重要な所見の解釈を助けるツールで、結果の強さの尺度を提供します。Fragility Indexは、その所見が有意でなくなるために、二項対立の結果に追加する必要がある連続した事象の数を表します。数値が小さいほど弱い所見を表し、数値が大きいほど強い所見を表します。
なぜ今この研究が必要なのですか?
Women involved in intimate partner violence (IPV) often confide in their family doctors first. However, currently little evidence exists in regard to how doctors should act in response to women who screen positive for IPV. It has been suggested that offering a structured intervention would be of benefit to these identified women in terms of increasing their comfort to discuss abuse, and improve their safety planning and mental health. Therefore, this study aimed to determine whether counselling from a family doctor would improve the quality of life, safety planning and behaviours, and mental health in women who screened positive for IPV.
主な研究課題は何ですか?
Was there improvement in the quality of life, safety planning and behaviours, and mental health in female patients who screened positive for IPV after receiving counselling sessions from their family doctor compared to standard care, when measured over a period of 12 months?
重要な知見は?
- When measured at 6 and 12 months, the mean WHOQOL-BREF scores did not differ significantly between the intervention and control group (Adjusted p>0.05), except for the physical subscale score at 6 months (Intervention: 64.2 +/- 22.4; Control: 60.2 +/- 18.0) (Adjusted p= 0.008).
- At 6 months there was no significant difference between groups in the number of patients who had ever had a safety plan (6 months: Adjusted p=0.71). However, at 12 months significantly more patients had a safety plan in the intervention group (43 patients; 45%), in comparison to the control group (27 patients; 28%) (Adjusted estimated effect size: 2.4; Adjusted 95% CI: 1.2-4.9; Adjusted p=0.01).
- There was no significant difference between groups in the number of patients who had a HADS depression score of at least 8 at 6 months (Adjusted p= 0.08).
- At 6 months the number of patients who were inquired by their doctor about their safety was significantly higher in the intervention group (30 patients; 32%), compared to the control group (12 patients; 13%) (Adjusted odds ratio: 3.5; Adjusted 95% CI: 1.7-7.5; Adjusted p=0.001). The number of patients inquired by their doctor about their safety dropped from 6 to 12 months for both groups, but remained slightly higher in the intervention group (19 patients; 20%), compared to the control group (11 patients; 11%) (Adjusted p=0.08).
- At both 6 and 12 months the number of patients who were inquired by their doctor about their child's safety was significantly higher in the intervention group (6 months: 16 patients, 37%; 12 months: 11 patients, 22%), compared to the control group (6 months: 11 patients, 18%; 12 months: 6 patients, 9%) (6 months: Adjusted odds ratio: 6.0, Adjusted 95% CI: 1.7-20.5, Adjusted p=0.005; 12 months: Adjusted odds ratio: 3.8, Adjusted 95% CI: 1.1-13.3, Adjusted p=0.04).
- There were no significant differences between groups for the mean SF-12 mental health status scores (6 months: Adjusted p=0.60; 12 months: Adjusted p=0.15), the number of patients with more than 5 safety behaviours (6 months: Adjusted p=0.63; 12 months: Adjusted p=0.49), the number of patients with a HADS anxiety score of at least 8 (6 months: Adjusted p=0.29; 12 months: Adjusted p=0.67), and the number of patients comfortable to discuss fear (12 months: Adjusted p=0.59).
最も覚えておくべきことは?
The results collected over 12 months displayed that counselling sessions provided by doctors to female patients who screened positive for intimate partner violence did not improve the women’s quality of life, safety planning and behaviour, global mental health, anxiety symptoms, or comfort to discuss fears. However, patients who received counselling sessions experienced a reduction in depression symptoms, and more frequently asked about their and their child’s safety, in comparison to the control group.
それが私の患者ケアにどのように影響するか?
More research is necessary in determining how to increase the number of women identified who experience intimate partner violence. As well, further research is warranted in developing interventions that may improve the quality of life, safety planning and behaviour, and global mental health in women. Furthermore, conducting a study regarding intimate partner violence for male patients may be worth consideration.
