GPs' perceived readiness to identify and respond to intimate partner abuse: development and preliminary validation of a multidimensional scale.

CONCLUSION: The GRIPS, a new scale with face-, content- and construct-validity, as well as internal consistency reliability, was validated in the general practice context. Further validation is warranted. Implications for public health: The GRIPS is a well-defined and easily administered scale that can be used in research and training contexts to assess health practitioners' perceived self-efficacy, motivational and emotional readiness to identify and respond to IPA. This would facilitate IPA disclosure and identification. PMID: 28664590 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
