Knowledge, attitude, and preparedness toward IPV care provision among nurses and midwives in Tanzania.

Although guidelines and training could improve nurses' and midwives' knowledge and preparedness to provide care regarding IPV, attitudes against IPV care are a challenge. To improve attitudes regarding IPV among front-line nurses and midwives, it is necessary to address concepts of IPV care and sympathy with potential and actual victims of IPV in pre- and in-service training in addition to providing recall-level knowledge.
