This study aimed to explore the mental health needs of women residing in domestic violence shelters; more specifically, we aimed to identify commonalities and differences among their mental health needs. For this purpose, qualitative and quantitative data was collected from 35 women from a Midwestern domestic violence shelter. Hierarchical clustering was applied to quantitative data, and the analysis indicated a three-cluster solution. Data from the qualitative analysis also supported the differentiation of women into three distinct groups, which were interpreted as: (A) ready to change, (B) focused on negative symptoms, and (C) focused on feelings of guilt and self-blame. 相似文献

This study aims at exploring and interpreting men’s experiences of intimate partner violence (IPV) in the light of selected current theoretical contributions to the field, with an emphasis on Michael P. Johnson’s violence typology. The material consisted of twenty interviews with men who self-identified as having been subjected to IPV. Men generally did not consider physical violence to be threatening when it was perpetrated by women. They were also not subjected to the multiple control tactics that define the intimate terrorism category of Johnson’s violence typology, lending support to the argument that women’s and men’s experiences of IPV differ in opposite-sex relationships. Furthermore, our findings encourage the integration of structural inequalities related to gender and sexuality in analyses of men’s experiences of IPV. 相似文献

Intimate partner violence (IPV) has a detrimental effect on the wellbeing of victims and their children. Situational as well
as individual factors shape victims’ responses to the experiences of IPV in many ways. This study uses a quantitative approach
to examine the factors that influence victims’ decisions on whether and where to seek help. The role of (unborn) children
has been examined together with other demographic and situational factors to reveal their influence on victims’ help-seeking
decisions. Two items were used to measure the role of children, including victims’ pregnancy at the time of the abuse and
children residing with the victim and witnessing the abuse. Relevant findings derived from the analysis of a sub-sample of
women interviewed in the process of the International Violence Against Women Survey (IVAWS) 2002/03 are discussed throughout
this paper with a specific focus on the role of children. While the presence of unborn children (i.e., pregnancy) had no effect
on victims’ help-seeking decisions, children witnessing the abuse emerged as the strongest predictor of general and more formalized
help-seeking decisions. 相似文献

The notion of transitions is an increasingly central concept in contemporary criminology and such issues are particularly
significant in the study of intimate partner violence (IPV). Here, attention focuses on relationship dynamics and movement
into and out of relationships for understanding long-term patterns of victimization over the life course. Still, a focus on
transitions raises questions about how IPV is patterned over time and across relationships and how this contributes to stability
and change in victimization risk over the life span. Our study examines this issue using data from the National Violence Against
Women Survey. Findings from latent transition analyses reveal strong evidence for change in victimization experiences across
the life course. Among women, those who experienced serious, multifaceted violence are most likely to transition out of relationships
followed by transition into subsequent relationships characterized by conflict and aggression and a similar pattern is observed
among men. At the same time, men who experience physical aggression in previous relationships are most likely to transition
into non-violent relationships, while women with similar experiences are much less differentiated in the types of relationships
they enter into. When we account for background characteristics (e.g., respondent’s race, education, and age) and childhood
experiences of parental violence, the latter is particularly significant in accounting for exposure to serious IPV in later
adulthood. Such findings extend our understanding of how life course transitions connect to violence and offending and highlight
processes of continuity and change beyond the traditional focus on criminal offending. 相似文献

Helping women victimized by intimate partner violence (IPV) is a challenge, particularly when the women belong to diverse ethnic groups. The objective of our study was to collect information on perceptions of coping with IPV from the perspective of a specific immigrant group of women. Sixty-three women from the Tamil community in Toronto representing different generations and experiences of IPV were interviewed in focus group settings about their views of coping with IPV. Study findings suggested that their views were deeply embedded in their sociocultural context and influenced by the gender-role expectations from the community. The women showed a marked preference for “passive” modes of coping rather than “active.” Study findings have implications for the development of alternative approaches to helping ethnically diverse women deal with IPV. 相似文献

Women presenting for care within a suburban Department of Veterans Affairs Hospital (VA) were screened for intimate partner violence (IPV). This study aimed to explore the feasibility of screening for IPV within a VA women’s health clinic, assess how well the screening measure captured women veterans’ experiences of IPV, and compare clinical correlates of IPV in women veterans who have and have not experienced IPV. Of 96 eligible women, 93 (97 %) answered a self-report question regarding experience of lifetime IPV and 72 (75 %) participated in a standardized screening. Among participants, 42 (47 %) reported experiencing past or current IPV, and of those, 11 (25 %) reported that they were currently experiencing IPV, and 31 (70 %) reported that they had experienced IPV in their past. Screening for IPV among women veterans in a women’s health clinic is feasible and identifies women who experience IPV, offering opportunities for referral and intervention. 相似文献

This study examined the long-term effects of childhood maltreatment, intimate partner violence (IPV) and work interference
on women’s employment in a sample of 135 housed or homeless women. Work interference (defined as a partner’s interference
with or restraint of a woman’s working) was reported by 60% of women who had experienced IPV and was more common among non-Hispanic
White women. Abuse history of any type was not predictive of women’s employment or receiving job training, but child sexual
abuse history and lifetime IPV were predictive of non-Hispanic White women’s not looking for a job. Receiving job training
was negatively correlated with women’s current mental health. The study suggests different but overlapping pathways to the
outcome of underemployment for racial/ethnic minority and majority women—namely, macro level factors and individual vulnerability
factors, respectively. The need for trauma-informed services for unemployed and/or homeless women is highlighted. 相似文献

This article explores how women empowerment affects Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) in Bangladesh using a cross-sectional
investigation of currently married women (n = 4,181) sampled via the Bangladesh Demographic Health Survey (BDHS), 2007. About one-fourth (24%) of currently married Bangladeshi
women experienced both physical and/or sexual IPV in the past year. Prevalence of physical and sexual violence was 19.4% and
10.5%, respectively. Younger generation (age 15–24), illiterate, rural, and the poorest household wealth categorized women
were much victimized. Current employment status predicted intimate partner violence. Household decision-making pattern also
emerged as a predictor of IPV. Likelihood of all forms of IPV increases with increase of number of participation in household
decision-making. Promoting women empowerment in the household without men’s support may put women at more risk of IPV. 相似文献

The present study examined family of origin, individual characteristics, and intimate relationship variables as predictors of women’s reports (N?=?209; M?=?29.5 years) of physical aggression toward their current or most recent same-sex partner in the past year. Participants completed measures that assessed a series of family of origin, individual, and intimate relationship variables. Results of a least-squares regression revealed that identifying as heterosexual (as opposed to lesbian), higher levels of relationship fusion, more experiences of psychological aggression victimization, and having more prior physically aggressive relationships were associated with more frequent perpetration of partner violence. Results of exploratory models testing whether internalized homophobia or dominance/accommodation were indirectly related to physical aggression perpetration revealed that fusion (i.e., enmeshment with one’s partner) mediated the relationship between internalized homophobia and perpetration of partner violence. Similarly, fusion mediated the association between dominance/accommodation and the perpetration of partner violence. Findings underscore the importance that individual and relationship characteristics have in predicting partner violence perpetration in women’s same-sex relationships. 相似文献

Children’s Perceptions of Intimate Partner Violence: Causes,Consequences, and Coping 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Children’s appraisals of conflictual and aggressive parental interactions mediate their effect on children’s adjustment. Previous
studies have relied almost exclusively on self-report questionnaires to assess appraisals; consequently we know little about
perceptions that occur naturally when children witness interparental aggression. This study employed a semi-structured interview
to assess the thoughts and feelings of 34 children (ages 7–12) whose mothers were receiving services at domestic violence
agencies, and mothers reported on interparental aggression that took place in the home. Children’s thoughts centered on consequences
and efforts to understand why fights occurred. They generally viewed their mother’s partner as responsible for violence, though
a significant number viewed both parents as playing a role. Sadness and anger were more common than anxiety, and children
often attempted to stop or withdraw from fights or both. When asked why family violence occurs, most focused on perpetrators’
lack of control of anger or personal characteristics, but approximately one-third viewed victims as provoking aggression.
These findings support the idea that children actively attempt to understand the causes and consequences of interparental
violence and suggest that their perceptions and interpretations are important for understanding the development of beliefs
regarding the use of violence in close relationships. 相似文献

This study attempted to examine risk factors for intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization against women in terms of the schema therapy model (STM). Seventy-nine shelter-residing female IPV victims and 78 married female IPV non-victims participated in the study. The Young Schema Questionnaire Short Form, the Young Parenting Inventory, the Young Compensation Inventory, and the Young Avoidance Inventory were used. The results revealed that being young and having low income were risk factors for IPV victimization. Paternal parenting style was also found to be a further risk factor in addition to demographic variables. Further, the endorsement of disconnection and the unrelenting standards schema domains presented further information predicting IPV victimization above and beyond demographic variables and parenting styles. Maladaptive coping styles did not reveal themselves as maintenance factors for IPV victimization when the information gathered from demographic variables, parenting styles, and schema domains is taken out. The results are discussed in terms of the STM. 相似文献

A qualitative study was conducted among 18 abused women from different parts of Norway to explore what paid work means for women exposed to partner violence and how living with an abusive partner affected their working life. Based on systematic text condensation analyses of their experiences as described in individual and focus group interviews, the study’s findings reveal two major themes. The first is about recovery and survival, and the other about the spillover of problems caused by a violent partner into paid work. Work was important to the women, as it represented time off from violence, contact with others who cared for them, and maintenance of self-esteem and self-confidence. Having their own money provided security and strengthened the belief that they could manage on their own. The spillover of intimate partner violence problems appeared through feelings of fear, shame and guilt at work. 相似文献

The study examined the relationship between women’s disclosure of intimate partner violence and their experience of employment interference, work-related consequences, and work participation in 140 nurses. Participants reported experiencing at least one employment interference tactic and 40 % of them disclosed their experience. Employment interference, work-related consequences, and work participation did not differ between nurses who disclosed violence/employment interference and those who did not. Further, our participants may have chosen to disclose employment interference in order to express their discomfort rather than to seek assistance or advice. Distribution of power governed by gender is an obstacle facing women in Jordan, limiting the extent to which they can be protected from experiencing IPV in the workplace. 相似文献

Using a sample of female college students involved in a current dating relationship, we investigate the nature of violence
in these intimate relationships to better understand the concept of violence mutuality. To do so we explore womens’ experiences
with violence as both perpetrators and victims and examine the prevalence, chronicity, and severity of violence experienced
by young women. We also examine whether there are differences in experiences of violence for women in casual versus exclusive
dating relationships. Our findings suggest that when violence is present in a dating relationship it is likely to occur within
a mutually violent relationship where women are both victims and perpetrators of violence. More importantly, within these
mutually violent relationships, women reported being more likely to perpetrate violence at higher rates than they experience
as victims. We find no notable differences in experiences with violence among those in casual versus exclusive relationships.
The methodological limitations and policy implications of our findings are discussed. 相似文献
