Women diagnosed with severe mental illness experience twice the rates of violence compared with women without mental illness. Despite awareness of violence, mental healthcare providers feel powerless to combat the problem. This article synthesizes 2 previous interpretive studies that examined violence perpetrated against women diagnosed with schizophrenia. This synthesis critically examines the perspectives of women who experience violence and schizophrenia and case managers who care for them. Stigma was an overarching theme in participants' stories but each group differed in its understanding of how stigma impacted women's lives. This disconnection perpetuates stigma and allows violence to remain invisible.
被诊断患有严重精神疾病的女性遭受暴力的几率是未患精神疾病女性的两倍。尽管人们已经意识到暴力问题，但精神卫生保健提供者在应对这一问题时感到无能为力。本文综合了之前两项解释性研究，这些研究考察了针对被诊断患有精神分裂症的女性实施的暴力行为。这项综合研究批判性地审视了遭受暴力的患有精神分裂症的女性以及照顾她们的个案管理人员的观点。污名化是参与者故事中的一个首要主题，但每个群体对污名化如何影响女性生活的理解有所不同。这种脱节使污名化持续存在，并使暴力行为依然不为人所见。
