The experience of İstanbul Protocol: efficiency, quality, difficulties in practice
Methods: A questionnaire was developed and sent to physicians in Black Sea Shore region of Turkey before and 1 year after their receiving training according to the Istanbul Protocol.
Results: There were 42 physicians who had undergone training according to the Istanbul Protocol and had answered the questionnaire; 28.6% of these were women and 71.4% men. These physicians applied the Istanbul Protocol more frequently after having received training on the Protocol Manual as compared to before the training. The 52.4% of these physicians reported having been the object of violence or intimidation.
Conclusions: It was determined that the physicians' knowledge of physical and psychological examination increased following their training according to the Istanbul Protocol.
