Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant public health concern; however, limited studies have explored perceptions and experiences towards IPV among students, staff, administrators, and faculty across diverse disciplines at institutions of higher education. The purposes of this study were to (1) assess experiences of IPV among a sample of students, staff/administrators, and faculty and (2) examine the relationship among attitudes, actual and perceived knowledge, awareness, training, readiness, and personal experiences with IPV in this sample. Participants were recruited from an urban university and two university-affiliated medical institutions to participate in an online survey. Bivariate and multivariate associations were assessed. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to examine direct and indirect effects of perceived and actual knowledge and personal experiences with IPV. Of the 216 respondents, 42.6% reported personally experiencing IPV and 34.3% reported having witnessed IPV. Over 34% of participants never received training on IPV. The sub-sample with training received between one and more than 15 hours of training. Standardized total effect of training on attitudes and awareness was β = 0.42 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.30–0.51), the combined indirect effects was β = 0.18 (95% CI = 0.10–0.27) and the direct effects of β=0.23 (95% CI = 0.12–0.34), indicating that hours of training was highly associated with the participants’ perceived knowledge and actual knowledge, which improved their attitudes and awareness towards IPV survivors. Our findings suggest the need for campus-wide formal training on IPV to better prepare members in higher education to accurately identify, assess, and intervene to protect victims of abuse. Interprofessional approaches are needed that focus on the multiple and intersecting needs of victims of violence and should also enhance professional self-efficacy and increase readiness to respond to IPV survivors.

美国三个机构的学生、教职员工和教职员工之间的亲密伴侣暴力培训和应对准备

亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV) 是一个重大的公共卫生问题；然而，有限的研究探讨了高等教育机构不同学科的学生、教职员工、管理人员和教职员工对 IPV 的看法和经验。本研究的目的是（1）评估学生、教职员工/管理人员和教职员工样本中的 IPV 经历，以及（2）检查态度、实际和感知的知识、意识、培训、准备和个人经历之间的关系在此示例中使用 IPV。参与者从一所城市大学和两所大学附属医疗机构中招募，参与一项在线调查。评估了双变量和多变量关联。结构方程模型 (SEM) 用于检查感知和实际知识以及 IPV 个人经验的直接和间接影响。在 216 名受访者中，42.6% 的人报告亲身经历过 IPV，34.3% 的人报告称亲眼目睹了 IPV。超过 34% 的参与者从未接受过 IPV 培训。接受过 1 到 15 小时以上培训的子样本。训练对态度和意识的标准化总效应为 β = 0.42（95% 置信区间 [CI] = 0.30–0.51），综合间接效应为 β = 0.18（95% CI = 0.10–0.27），直接效应为 β =0.23（95% CI = 0.12-0.34），表明培训时间与参与者的感知知识和实际知识高度相关，从而改善了他们对IPV幸存者的态度和意识。我们的研究结果表明，需要在校园范围内进行 IPV 正式培训，以更好地为高等教育成员做好准备，以准确识别、评估和干预以保护虐待受害者。需要采取跨专业的方法，重点关注暴力受害者的多重和交叉需求，还应提高专业的自我效能，并增加应对 IPV 幸存者的准备。
