Gaps in knowledge remain regarding how and from whom women resettling to the United States as refugees seek help for intimate partner violence (IPV), and what happens when they do. This study examined ways in which women seek help for IPV across varied contexts and at different times both pre- and postresettlement. Researchers used a purposive sampling approach to recruit women who resettled to the United States as refugees ( = 35). An inductive approach to thematic analysis led to an examination of the role of family in seeking help for IPV and seeking help in the absence of family. The findings speak to the importance of applying a social support lens to theory, practice, and research concerned with women's help-seeking for IPV in the resettlement context.
关于作为难民重新安置到美国的女性如何以及从谁那里寻求亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）方面的帮助，以及她们这样做时会发生什么，仍然存在知识空白。本研究调查了女性在重新安置前后的不同背景和不同时间寻求IPV帮助的方式。研究人员采用目的抽样法招募了作为难民重新安置到美国的女性（n = 35）。主题分析的归纳法导致对家庭在寻求IPV帮助和在没有家庭的情况下寻求帮助中的作用进行了考察。研究结果表明，在重新安置背景下，将社会支持视角应用于与女性寻求IPV帮助相关的理论、实践和研究具有重要意义。
