Intimate partner violence (IPV) victims and survivors frequently access healthcare, but don’t always receive trauma-informed care or referrals to IPV resources. This study asked IPV survivors what patient safety meant to them. They described it as care that contained: 1) compassionate and/or trauma-informed care; 2) physically safe spaces; and/or 3) a connection to social resources. Survivors described ways healthcare providers could improve IPV safety.
