Violence has a heavy impact on the physical and mental health of women in developed and developing countries; however, most of the violence victims would suffer in silence and never leave their relationship. The aim of the present study was to identify the barriers to leaving a relationship from the perspective of married abused Iranian women. The present study was a secondary analysis of the interviews conducted in a primary study. The primary study that was conducted using the grounded theory approach has assessed the coping process with domestic violence in 24 married abused Iranian women. These women were selected from local parks, health centers, and universities of Tehran city using a purposive sampling method. Qualitative secondary analysis of the interviews was conducted, in accordance with the goal of this study, using content analysis. Four categories emerged through the analysis of the data including "fear," "lack of resources," "beliefs and attitudes," and "dependence" and the common theme between these categories was " to leaving an abusive relationship." Results indicated that contextual factors such as fear, lack of resources, attitudes and beliefs, and dependence were the reason for not leaving a relationship. Interventions for enriching women's resources (improving the condition of education and employment, and improvement of the formal and informal support systems), education about domestic violence and its management methods, and modification of the existing attitudes and beliefs in this regard could keep abused women from experiencing more violence.
暴力对发达国家和发展中国家的妇女的身心健康都有沉重的影响；然而，大多数暴力受害者会默默承受，从不离开他们的关系。本研究的目的是从已婚受虐伊朗妇女的角度确定离开关系的障碍。本研究是对一项初级研究中的访谈进行的二次分析。这项初级研究采用扎根理论方法，评估了 24 名已婚受虐伊朗妇女应对家庭暴力的过程。这些妇女是通过目的性抽样法从德黑兰市的当地公园、保健中心和大学中选取的。按照本研究的目的，对访谈进行了定性的二次分析，采用内容分析法。通过对数据的分析，出现了四个类别，包括“恐惧”、“缺乏资源”、“信念和态度”以及“依赖”，这些类别的共同主题是“离开虐待关系”。结果表明，诸如恐惧、缺乏资源、态度和信念以及依赖等情境因素是不离开关系的原因。丰富妇女资源的干预措施（改善教育和就业条件，以及完善正式和非正式支持系统）、关于家庭暴力及其管理方法的教育，以及修改这方面的现有态度和信念，可以防止受虐妇女遭受更多暴力。
