Our aim for this study was to describe emotional abuse as it is experienced by women living with HIV and AIDS in Malawi. The study was conducted in the Lilongwe district in Malawi and used a descriptive phenomenological approach. Twelve women from two public health care clinics under the Lilongwe District Health Office were interviewed. Violating experiences that scarred the personhood and inherent value of being human were found to be the essence of their emotional abuse. Their husbands, family, and community members were responsible for the humiliation, abandonment, and blaming that caused them to feel hopeless.
我们这项研究的目的是描述马拉维感染艾滋病毒和艾滋病的女性所经历的情感虐待。该研究在马拉维的利隆圭区进行，采用了描述性现象学方法。对利隆圭区卫生局下属两家公共卫生诊所的12名女性进行了访谈。侵犯经历损害了她们作为人的人格和内在价值，被认为是她们情感虐待的本质。她们的丈夫、家人和社区成员应对导致她们感到绝望的羞辱、遗弃和指责负责。
