Eleven South Asian women were recruited from three domestic violence agencies in the United States and interviewed to examine their experiences with intimate partner violence (IPV). The interviews were analyzed using a grounded theory approach. Themes included detailed barriers and facilitators to disclosure of the abuse and leaving the abusive relationship. Findings suggest that families of origin and in-laws play a significant role in the process of leaving the relationship. Children are often cited as a source of strength for the women. The process of healing and recovery after leaving a relationship with IPV was also discussed by women enrolled in this study. Pragmatic approaches to addressing IPV among South Asian women in health care settings are also considered.
11 名南亚裔美国妇女从美国的三个家庭暴力机构招募,接受采访以考察她们遭受亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)的经历。采用扎根理论方法对访谈进行了分析。主题包括披露虐待行为和离开虐待关系的详细障碍和促进因素。研究结果表明,原生家庭和姻亲在离开关系的过程中起着重要作用。孩子常常被妇女们视为力量的源泉。本研究中接受采访的妇女还讨论了离开有 IPV 的关系后的康复过程。还考虑了在医疗保健环境中解决南亚裔妇女 IPV 的实用方法。
