In this article, we explore how continuous intimate partner violence is experienced in old age and how age and violence interact and change throughout the life span. This is a qualitative study based on a phenomenological perspective focusing on the lived experiences of the elderly who have dwelled in domestic violence most of their lives. The sample consisted of 40 informants. In-depth, semistructured interviews were performed. Content analysis of the interviews yielded four clusters of living in violence over time: (a) The arena of violence is alive and active, (b) violence is in the air, (c) more of the same but differently, and (d) violence through illness to the very end. These clusters are discussed and their implications for practice are suggested.
在本文中，我们探讨了老年人如何经历持续性亲密伴侣暴力，以及年龄与暴力如何在整个生命周期中相互作用和变化。这是一项基于现象学视角的定性研究，聚焦于一生大部分时间都遭受家庭暴力的老年人的生活经历。样本包括40名受访者。进行了深入的半结构化访谈。访谈内容分析得出了随着时间推移在暴力中生活的四类情况：(a) 暴力场景鲜活且活跃，(b) 暴力弥漫，(c) 虽大致相同但有所不同，(d) 直至生命尽头因疾病导致暴力。本文对这些类别进行了讨论，并提出了它们对实践的启示。
