Domestic violence is a continual stressor that motivates its victim to react. The way a woman deals with her husband's violence determine the consequence of the violent relationship. In the present study, a qualitative approach was employed to investigate women's reactions to and ways of coping with domestic violence.
Semi-structured interviews were conducted in 2014 with 18 women who experienced domestic violence in an attempt to explain how women deal with domestic violence. After the interviews were transcribed word by word, they were explored in the form of meaningful units and encoded as subcategories and categories through inductive content analysis. The reliability and validity of the interviews were measured by an external supervisor.
Two categories of reaction and coping were identified through content analysis: passive and non-normative measures and active measures. Passive and non-normative measures included the subcategories of harmful behaviors, retaliation, tolerance, and silence. Active measures included seeking help and advice, legal measures, leaving the spouse, positive and health promoting measures.
In the present study, ways of coping with a husband's violence among women experiencing domestic violence were divided into two categories: passive and non-normative measures and active measures. These categories confirmed the models of coping with stress in previous studies. Adopting an appropriate approach to dealing with domestic violence is affected by a woman's capacity and beliefs, the dominant culture, intensity of the violence, available social and legal supports, and effectiveness of evaluation measures. To generalize service provision to victimized women, the type of coping and the reason for adopting the chosen approach need to be taken into account.
家庭暴力是一种持续的压力源，促使受害者做出反应。女性应对丈夫暴力的方式决定了暴力关系的后果。在本研究中，采用定性研究方法来调查女性对家庭暴力的反应及应对方式。
2014年对18名遭受家庭暴力的女性进行了半结构化访谈，旨在解释女性如何应对家庭暴力。访谈逐字转录后，以有意义的单元形式进行探究，并通过归纳性内容分析编码为子类别和类别。访谈的信效度由外部督导进行评估。
通过内容分析确定了两类反应和应对方式：被动和非规范性措施以及积极措施。被动和非规范性措施包括有害行为、报复、容忍和沉默等子类别。积极措施包括寻求帮助和建议、法律措施、离开配偶、积极和促进健康的措施。
在本研究中，遭受家庭暴力的女性应对丈夫暴力的方式分为两类：被动和非规范性措施以及积极措施。这些类别证实了先前研究中的应对压力模型。采用何种适当方法应对家庭暴力受到女性的能力和信念、主流文化、暴力强度、可获得的社会和法律支持以及评估措施的有效性等因素的影响。为了将服务提供推广到受侵害妇女，需要考虑应对方式的类型以及采用所选方法的原因。
