Research shows that co-occurring partner violence and substance abuse are problems for many women. However, less is known about women's varied experiences with partner violence and substance abuse. This exploratory, qualitative study investigates these two issues among a sample of 15 women in substance abuse treatment who experienced partner violence. Overall, findings show participants' experience of violence-substance connections varied in important ways; complicating factors exacerbate both problems; and domestic violence services and substance abuse treatments should account for these variations and complications. We discuss directions for providers, researchers, and policymakers concerned with partner violence or substance abuse.
研究表明,共同发生的伴侣暴力和药物滥用是许多女性面临的问题。然而,对于女性在伴侣暴力和药物滥用方面的不同经历,人们知之甚少。这项探索性的定性研究调查了在接受药物滥用治疗的 15 名经历过伴侣暴力的女性样本中的这两个问题。总的来说,研究结果表明,参与者在暴力-物质联系方面的经历存在重要差异;复杂因素加剧了这两个问题;家庭暴力服务和药物滥用治疗应该考虑到这些差异和复杂性。我们讨论了为关注伴侣暴力或药物滥用的提供者、研究人员和政策制定者提供的方向。
