Although intimate partner violence is recognized as a major threat to women's health, few interventions have been developed or tested.
To test an intervention administered to abused women in order to increase safety-seeking behaviors.
A two-group clinical trial randomized 75 abused women to receive six telephone intervention sessions on safety behaviors. A control group of 75 women received standard care. Women in both groups were re-interviewed at 3 months and 6 months post-initial measurement.
Using repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA), we found significantly [F (2,146) 5.11, =.007] more adopted safety behaviors reported by women in the intervention group than by women in the control group at both the 3-month [F (91,74) = 19.70, <.001] and 6-month [F (1,74) = 15.90, <.001] interviews. The effect size (ES) of the intervention was large at 3 months (ES = 1.5) and remained substantial at 6 months (ES = 0.56).
These findings demonstrate that an intervention to increase safety behaviors of abused women is highly effective when offered following an abusive incident and remains effective for 6 months.
尽管亲密伴侣暴力被认为是对女性健康的重大威胁，但很少有干预措施得到开发或测试。
测试一项针对受虐妇女的干预措施，以增加她们寻求安全的行为。
一项两组临床试验将75名受虐妇女随机分为两组，一组接受关于安全行为的六次电话干预课程。另一组75名妇女作为对照组接受标准护理。两组妇女在初次测量后的3个月和6个月时再次接受访谈。
使用重复测量方差分析（ANOVA），我们发现干预组妇女报告的采用安全行为显著多于对照组妇女[F(2,146)=5.11，P=.007]，在3个月[F(91,74)=19.70，P<.001]和6个月[F(1,74)=15.90，P<.001]的访谈中均是如此。干预措施在3个月时的效应量（ES）很大（ES=1.5），在6个月时仍很显著（ES=0.56）。
这些结果表明，一项旨在增加受虐妇女安全行为的干预措施在虐待事件发生后提供时非常有效，并且在6个月内仍然有效。
