Violence against women with mental illness and routine screening: Nurses' knowledge, confidence, barriers and learning needs

Violence against women is a major public health issue and women with mental illness (WMI) are at a double disadvantage. While nurses play a key role in identifying and responding to abused women, research is limited on this issue from India. This qualitative study was aimed to explore nurses' knowledge, confidence, and learning needs in the identification and responding to disclosure of abuse in women with mental illness. The focus group discussions were conducted among nurses (N  = 21) working in psychiatry units at a tertiary care center.
