GBV Response Training for Health Assistant Students in Nepal
Sponsor: Axon Infotech Research Academy Pvt. Ltd.
Summary
This study evaluated a six-day Gender-Based Violence (GBV) response training for PCL General Medicine (Health Assistant) students in Nepal. Students at Kantipur College of Medical Sciences (intervention group, n=40) received a facilitator-led training based on the WHO LIVES framework (Listen, Inquire, Validate, Enhance safety, Support) and Nepal's national Health Response to GBV package. Students at Lord Buddha College of Health Science (control group, n=40) received no training during the study period and were offered the same training after data collection. Both groups completed a questionnaire measuring GBV knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy before the training (baseline) and after the training (Day 6). The main comparison is the difference between groups in score change from baseline to Day 6. The study was retrospectively registered.

Six-Day GBV Response Training (WHO LIVES-based)
Six-day, facilitator-led pre-service training on the health-sector response to gender-based violence (GBV), based on the WHO LIVES framework (Listen, Inquire, Validate, Enhance safety, Support) and Nepal's national Health Response to GBV training package. Content covers GBV definitions and types, recognition of red flags, clinical management protocols (post-exposure prophylaxis and emergency contraception time windows), relevant Nepali legal frameworks, survivor-centred communication, and referral to One-Stop Crisis Management Centres (OCMCs). Delivery methods are facilitated lectures, case-study discussions, role-play exercises, and reflective practice sessions, delivered by trained facilitators over six days. No drug, device, biological product, or procedure is involved; this is a purely educational intervention. If you know the hours per day or the total contact hours, add them after "over six days", for example "over six days (6 hours/day, 36 contact hours)". That still fits withi
