Literature on trauma, coping and spirituality has introduced new questions about protective factors in the healing process for intimate partner abuse survivors (IPA). This qualitative study explores the relationship between spirituality and IPA with three focus groups of twenty-two women IPA survivors residing in a shelter. A content analysis revealed central themes that explicate the meaning and role spirituality plays for participants. Viewed as a salient dimension, spirituality provides strength, influences outcomes and assists in the regulation of behavioral responses in a positive manner in terms of participants' traumatic IPA victimization. Practice implications are discussed.
关于创伤、应对方式和灵性的文献提出了有关亲密伴侣虐待幸存者（IPA）愈合过程中保护因素的新问题。这项定性研究通过对居住在庇护所的22名女性IPA幸存者组成的三个焦点小组进行探讨，研究灵性与IPA之间的关系。内容分析揭示了一些核心主题，这些主题阐释了灵性对参与者所具有的意义和作用。灵性被视为一个显著维度，就参与者遭受的创伤性IPA侵害而言，它能提供力量、影响结果并以积极方式协助调节行为反应。文中还讨论了实际应用意义。
