Service providers' self-perceived competence in supporting women with disabilities subjected to intimate partner violence: insights from a Swedish survey.
Article in Global health action, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundIntimate partner violence (IPV) is a global issue, with women, especially those with disabilities, facing a higher lifetime risk than those without disabilities. Given the elevated risk factors and challenges related to having a disability, it is crucial to provide effective IPV support. The competence and expertise of service providers regarding IPV significantly influence their ability to provide adequate IPV support. Understanding service providers' self-perceived competence is essential for improving the quality of IPV support for women with disabilities.
objectiveThis study assesses the self-perceived competence of service providers in supporting women with disabilities subjected to IPV in Sweden.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was distributed to professionals in healthcare, social services, and the police, and 1,151 people participated. Descriptive statistics and linear regression analyses were performed to assess the factors influencing service providers' self-perceived competence.
resultsThe findings indicate that healthcare, police, and social services professionals often encounter women with disabilities, but they rarely ask them directly about IPV. Many don't routinely inquire about IPV exposure. While institutional routines for addressing IPV exist, service providers don't consistently implement or use them. Key factors influencing self-perceived competence include receiving IPV and disability-specific training and sufficient employer support for addressing IPV among women with disabilities.
conclusionsThe findings underscore the need for a more consistent application of routines and enhanced training to strengthen the capacity of service providers to support women with disabilities subjected to IPV.
