The present study explores the lived experience of older women who are sexually abused in the context of lifelong intimate partner violence (IPV). An interpretive phenomenological analysis was used, and semi-structured interviews were performed with 19 older women survivors of lifelong IPV and sexual violence. Three themes emerged: sexual violence shaping lifelong IPV, the occurrence of sexual violence in old age in the context of lifelong IPV, and cumulative insights and reflections on being a survivor of lifelong IPV and sexual violence. The transition to aging has a profound impact on the violent relationship dynamics and this should be considered in practical interventions.
本研究探讨了在终身亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）背景下遭受性虐待的老年女性的生活体验。采用解释性现象学分析方法，对 19 名经历过终身 IPV 和性暴力的老年女性幸存者进行了半结构化访谈。出现了三个主题：性暴力塑造了终身 IPV、在终身 IPV 背景下老年时期发生的性暴力，以及对作为终身 IPV 和性暴力幸存者的累积见解和反思。向老年期的过渡对暴力关系动态有深远影响，在实际干预中应予以考虑。
