Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious public health issue that affects many women all over the world. One of the most consistent risk factors for IPV is poverty. On the other hand, IPV is also a risk factor for continued poverty, which puts many women in a cycle of violence and poverty that is difficult to escape. Interventions are needed to help women improve their economic solvency and decrease their poverty-based risk for IPV.
The current study is a qualitative study to examine how women who have experienced IPV would plan and execute an intervention to improve economic solvency.
The participants were 21 diverse women living in a women's shelter.
The major themes that came from the women's suggestions were as follows: addressing mental health, accountability, financial management classes, job skills and education, and other resources.
Implications of this study include the need for more comprehensive programs, a general desire amongst the women for mentoring and accountability, and the need to address knowledge deficits about resources. This information can help resource providers to help build interventions to improve economic solvency in women who have experienced IPV and improve their overall safety.
亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）是一个严重的公共卫生问题，影响着全球众多女性。IPV最常见的风险因素之一是贫困。另一方面，IPV也是持续贫困的一个风险因素，这使许多女性陷入暴力与贫困的循环，难以摆脱。需要采取干预措施来帮助女性提高经济偿付能力，并降低她们因贫困而遭受IPV的风险。
本研究是一项定性研究，旨在探讨经历过IPV的女性会如何规划和实施一项提高经济偿付能力的干预措施。
参与者为居住在妇女庇护所的21名不同背景的女性。
女性建议中出现的主要主题如下：解决心理健康问题、问责制、财务管理课程、工作技能与教育，以及其他资源。
本研究的意义包括需要更全面的项目、女性普遍希望得到指导和问责，以及需要解决资源方面的知识不足问题。这些信息可帮助资源提供者构建干预措施，以提高经历过IPV的女性的经济偿付能力，并改善她们的整体安全状况。
