A cross-sectional study on.f'amily violence included 27 Slovenian family practitioners, who screened each fifth consecutive patient in the period of 14days. 1103 patients were surveyed. We identified the frequency of the violence (as reported by the patients to a trustworthy person, i, e. their family physician), the readiness of the victims of violence to seek help, the sensitivity of the physicians to this topic and their qualifications/aptitude for immediate help/intervention. 30% of involved persons confirmed experience of physical and/orpsychical violence and with every fifth person physician didnothing despite being asked ,for help. Every fourth answer to the question "What would you do if a victim of violence would come to you for help" is direction to psychiatrist. That probably reflects perception of doctors' profession and their competence. 1/10 of persons sought medical help because of being exposed to violence. Physicians offered support and conversation to victims in 1/3 of cases, 1/10 of victims got sick-leave and hospitalization. 1/5 of them were sent to psychiatrist and for 1/20 physician prescribed antidepressants. In every ninth case physicians noticed police and social service. In 1/5 of cases the physician did nothing. The study showed that investigation of medical files and evaluations of physicians about possible factors, which increase the possibility of persons being exposed to violence are not so useful. Physicians are not equipped well enough to give needed helpand support to persons exposed to violence in the family. Physicians do not feel that they are the right ones who should in their practice help victims of violenceTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaSlovensko zdravniško društvo
