Intimate partner violence (IPV) affects the mental and physical health of Mexican women in the United States, and culture is thought to play a role in its prevention and resolution. Qualitative investigations are ideal for explicating context-specific aspects of these phenomena. Thus, a systematic review of 19 primary qualitative research reports was conducted to clearly articulate the process of IPV and its resolution among Mexican American women. Based on the findings, IPV is fueled by aspects of Mexican culture, and barriers exist that make its resolution challenging. Despite attempts to nurture themselves, abuse becomes intolerable, and women eventually reach out for help. Immigration, legal, criminal justice, and social service personnel assist Mexican American women to resolve IPV. In addition, health care providers play an integral role in broaching the topic, establishing trust, and providing key information to women and members of the Mexican American community at large.
亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）影响着在美国的墨西哥裔女性的身心健康，人们认为文化在预防和解决这种暴力方面发挥着作用。定性研究对于阐释这些现象中特定背景下的方面非常理想。因此，对19份主要定性研究报告进行了系统综述，以清晰地阐明墨西哥裔美国女性中亲密伴侣暴力的过程及其解决方式。基于研究结果，墨西哥文化的一些方面助长了亲密伴侣暴力，并且存在一些障碍使得解决这种暴力具有挑战性。尽管她们试图自我滋养，但虐待变得无法忍受，女性最终会寻求帮助。移民、法律、刑事司法和社会服务人员协助墨西哥裔美国女性解决亲密伴侣暴力问题。此外，医疗保健提供者在提出这个话题、建立信任以及向女性和整个墨西哥裔美国社区成员提供关键信息方面发挥着不可或缺的作用。
