Intimate partners of people with addictions experience significant strain, which coping and social support may reduce. They are also at increased risk for intimate partner violence (IPV: violence/abuse and coercive control), but IPV's effects on coping and social support are unclear. This study tested the salience of IPV to the Stress-Strain-Coping-Support model, using moderated mediation models with 222 intimate partners of people with addictions. Social support and coping worked differently for each type of strain. Coercive control moderated informal social support's buffering effect for anxiety and depression. Professionals assisting intimate partners should screen for IPV and offer flexible support programs.
成瘾者的亲密伴侣承受着巨大压力，应对措施和社会支持或许能减轻这种压力。他们遭受亲密伴侣暴力（IPV：暴力/虐待及强制控制）的风险也更高，但IPV对应对措施和社会支持的影响尚不清楚。本研究采用有调节的中介模型，对222名成瘾者的亲密伴侣进行研究，检验了IPV在压力-应变-应对-支持模型中的显著性。社会支持和应对措施对每种压力类型的作用各不相同。强制控制调节了非正式社会支持对焦虑和抑郁的缓冲作用。协助亲密伴侣的专业人员应筛查IPV并提供灵活的支持项目。
