The relationship between intimate partner violence (IPV) and women's use of negative and positive coping strategies was investigated.
For this cross-sectional study, a convenience sample of 300 refugee women was recruited from health care centers in three cities in Jordan. Logistic regression adjusted to women's demographic characteristics was used.
The study's results revealed that, compared to non victims, victimized women showed a lower tendency to receive psychological support from the family (adjusted OR = 0.53, 95% CI = 0.29-0.96), to smoke (adjusted OR = 0.28, 95% CI = 0.09-0.82), to use tranquilizers (adjusted OR = 0.014, 95% CI = 0.00-0.86), to think of suicide (adjusted OR = 0.04, 95% CI = 0.009-0.15), and to attempt suicidal actions (adjusted OR = 0.02, 95% CI = 0.002-0.19).
The study indicated that women's lack of use of negative coping strategies (smoking, use of tranquilizers, suicidal thoughts, and suicidal actions) was promising. However, the lack of use of positive coping strategies (disclosure of abuse, psychological support from friends, and help from family/friends) was somewhat concerning. The role of health care professionals may be helpful in this context. Counseling and support to IPV victims via effective listening, nonjudgmental discussions, and provision of information can be offered by health professionals as part of the treatment in health care centers.
研究亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)与女性使用消极和积极应对策略之间的关系。
本横断面研究从约旦三个城市的医疗中心招募了 300 名难民女性作为便利样本。使用了调整女性人口统计学特征的逻辑回归。
研究结果表明,与非受害者相比,受害者女性从家庭获得心理支持的倾向较低(调整后的 OR = 0.53,95%CI = 0.29-0.96),吸烟(调整后的 OR = 0.28,95%CI = 0.09-0.82),使用镇静剂(调整后的 OR = 0.014,95%CI = 0.00-0.86),自杀念头(调整后的 OR = 0.04,95%CI = 0.009-0.15),并试图自杀(调整后的 OR = 0.02,95%CI = 0.002-0.19)。
该研究表明,女性缺乏使用消极应对策略(吸烟、使用镇静剂、自杀念头和自杀行为)是有希望的。然而,缺乏使用积极应对策略(揭露虐待、朋友的心理支持以及家人/朋友的帮助)有点令人担忧。在这种情况下,卫生保健专业人员的作用可能会有所帮助。卫生专业人员可以通过有效倾听、非评判性讨论和提供信息,为 IPV 受害者提供咨询和支持,作为医疗中心治疗的一部分。
