Research has focused on factors associated with leaving physically abusive relationships, yet little is known about what the woman thinks when she leaves. Fifty-one formerly battered women from rural and metropolitan areas in two midwestern states described 86 reasons for leaving a physically abusive relationship. During open-ended interviews, women who rated themselves as severely abused spontaneously emphasized leaving as a process. Content analysis resulted in reasons categorized as safety, dependency, and personal growth. Self-report retrospective data from a nonrandom sample limit generalizability of results; however, the awareness and reasoning of the women, coupled with their emphasis on leaving as process and personal growth, suggest the importance of education and support programs for abused women and women at risk for abuse.
研究一直聚焦于与摆脱身体虐待关系相关的因素，然而对于女性在离开时的想法却知之甚少。来自中西部两个州农村和城市地区的51名曾遭受虐待的女性描述了86个离开身体虐待关系的原因。在开放式访谈中，那些将自己评为受严重虐待的女性自发地强调离开是一个过程。内容分析得出的原因分为安全、依赖和个人成长三类。来自非随机样本的自我报告回顾性数据限制了结果的普遍性；然而，这些女性的认知和推理，以及她们对离开是一个过程和个人成长的强调，表明了为受虐待女性和有受虐待风险的女性提供教育和支持项目的重要性。
