Although associations between intimate partner violence, chronic pain, depression, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and lifetime trauma exposure are well known, previous studies are limited by their recruitment of women from shelters. These relationships were explored with a community-based sample of formerly abused women ( N = 84). Seventy-seven percent of women reported pain of >3 months duration, and 75% had moderate to severe pain. Based on logistic regression analysis, women with moderate to severe chronic pain were significantly less likely to be employed, had more depressive symptoms, and were in the abusive relationship longer than women in mild chronic pain. Both pain severity groups had equally high levels of depressive and PTSD symptoms and multiple trauma exposures. Findings document the persistence of significant symptomatology in formerly abused women.
尽管亲密伴侣暴力、慢性疼痛、抑郁、创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）和终生创伤暴露之间的关联是众所周知的，但以前的研究受到其从避难所招募女性的限制。本研究使用了一个以前受过虐待的女性的社区为基础的样本（N=84）进行了这些关系的探索。77%的女性报告疼痛持续时间超过 3 个月，75%的女性有中度到重度疼痛。基于逻辑回归分析，患有中重度慢性疼痛的女性就业的可能性显著降低，抑郁症状更多，与处于轻度慢性疼痛的女性相比，她们处于虐待关系的时间更长。两个疼痛严重程度组的抑郁和 PTSD 症状以及多重创伤暴露水平都同样高。研究结果记录了以前受虐待的女性中持续存在的显著症状。
