Introduction: IPV is a public health problem that can lead to mortality and morbidity. Victims of violence against women often come to health care facilities for eye trauma or musculoskeletal trauma as a result of IPV. Therefore, the importance of timely recognition and response by nurses and physicians to patients who are victims of intimate partner violence needs to be carefully considered in order to address the current gap in this area. Aim: To study the knowledge and attitudes of nurses and physicians regarding violence against women in the Eye Diseases Clinic and the Orthopedics and Traumatology Department of the Surgical Clinic of KBC Split. Methods: The study included 97 respondents in the period from October 1 to November 30, 2023. All 97 respondents were nurses and physicians in permanent employment at the Eye Diseases Clinic and the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology of the Surgical Clinic of KBC Split who completed the questionnaire "Violence against women - questionnaire for health care providers". Results: Using exploratory factor analysis (PCA) with an eigenvalue greater than 1 and varimax rotation, and the condition that absolute values are greater than 0.45, 7 factors were identified, explaining a total of 65.14% of the variance. Only 3 nurses and 2 physicians were educated about abuse of women. Nurses had more experience with violence against women than physicians (χ=5.7; p=0.17). The proportion of physicians who called the police was 2.6 times higher than the proportion of nurses who called the police (χ=3.9; p=0.047). Most respondents (11.3%) believe that women's fear of verbalizing mistreatment is the greatest barrier to screening for mistreatment of women. The majority of respondents (51.5%) did not answer the open-ended question about what would help them facilitate screening. Of the respondents who answered the question, most (22.7%), including 25.4% nurses and 17.6% physicians, felt that education would facilitate screening for abuse against women. Conclusions: The Croatian version of the "Violence Against Women Questionnaire for Health Care Providers, with a total of 20 questions, proved to be reliable in measuring the knowledge and attitudes of nurses and physicians in the hospital system regarding abuse of women. There are no differences in knowledge and attitudes about violence against women between nurses and doctors at the Eye Diseases Clinic and the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology at KBC Split, except for attitudes about professional support.
