Current literature has primarily equated gender-based violence recovery with an improvement of physical or mental health symptoms, causing a gap in our understanding of the impact of interventions beyond the amelioration of adverse symptomology. The purpose of this research was to create an instrument to holistically measure gender-based violence recovery based on survivor healing goals. Ethnographic interviews were conducted in women-identifying gender-based violence survivors (ages 18-76) to determine healing domains and develop items using survivor language ( = 56). Focus groups with academic and community experts ( = 12) and cognitive interviews with gender-based violence survivors ( = 12) were conducted to ensure content and face validity, as well as to evaluate acceptability. This yielded a 31-item instrument to measure healing progress on a 5-point Likert scale. The Healing after Gender-based Violence Scale has the potential to highlight survivor strength and growth while more accurately measuring their recovery process based on survivor goals and desires.
当前的文献主要将基于性别的暴力恢复等同于身体或心理健康症状的改善，这导致我们在理解干预措施的影响时存在差距，这些影响超出了对不良症状的改善。本研究的目的是创建一种工具，以基于幸存者的康复目标全面衡量基于性别的暴力恢复情况。对自我认同为女性的基于性别的暴力幸存者（年龄在18 - 76岁之间）进行了人种学访谈，以确定康复领域并使用幸存者的语言开发项目（n = 56）。与学术和社区专家进行了焦点小组讨论（n = 12），并对基于性别的暴力幸存者进行了认知访谈（n = 12），以确保内容和表面效度，以及评估可接受性。这产生了一个31项的工具，用于在5点李克特量表上衡量康复进展。基于性别的暴力后康复量表有可能突出幸存者的力量和成长，同时根据幸存者的目标和愿望更准确地衡量他们的康复过程。
