The purpose of this qualitative systematic review was to more fully understand intimate partner abuse (IPA) among older women and to explicate strategies for enhancing their well-being. The sample (N = 20) was assembled based on an expansive search of the peer-reviewed literature using multiple electronic databases. Qualitative findings were extracted and coded/categorized. Reflective memos were developed, and a cohesive interpretation of the raw data emerged. IPA tends to be a multigenerational problem that older women are reluctant to discuss. With age, IPA assumes different forms, and many older women actively choose to make the best of their situations. Older women cope by trying to make sense of their lives and nurturing themselves in small ways. Occasionally, events occur that enable permanent change. Nurses are encouraged to nonjudgmentally assist older women to enhance their well-being, despite IPA. They are also urged to actively intervene when opportunities for significant change arise.
这项定性系统评价的目的是更全面地了解老年女性中的亲密伴侣虐待情况，并阐明增进其幸福感的策略。样本（N = 20）是通过使用多个电子数据库广泛检索同行评审文献而收集的。提取定性研究结果并进行编码/分类。撰写反思性备忘录，从而对原始数据形成连贯的解释。亲密伴侣虐待往往是一个跨代问题，老年女性不愿谈论此事。随着年龄增长，亲密伴侣虐待呈现出不同形式，许多老年女性积极选择尽力应对自身处境。老年女性通过努力理解自己的生活并以小方式关爱自己来应对。偶尔会发生一些能带来永久性改变的事件。鼓励护士在不评判的情况下帮助老年女性增进幸福感，尽管存在亲密伴侣虐待情况。还敦促护士在出现重大改变的机会时积极进行干预。
