Few studies explore how intimate partner violence (IPV) affects Arab Americans. Through focus groups with stakeholders from an Arab-centered health organization and semistructured interviews with Arab-American female clients (18-65 years), we explore how IPV affects Arab-American women and factors that impede and facilitate their access to support services. We find that IPV is a critical concern among Arab Americans and that generational status, educational attainment, and support from family, friends, or religious leaders were perceived to influence access to IPV support services. This study has implications for developing culturally sensitive IPV interventions for Arab-American women.
很少有研究探讨亲密伴侣暴力如何影响阿拉伯裔美国人。通过与一个以阿拉伯人为中心的健康组织的利益相关者进行焦点小组讨论，以及对18至65岁的阿拉伯裔美国女性客户进行半结构化访谈，我们探讨了亲密伴侣暴力如何影响阿拉伯裔美国女性，以及阻碍和促进她们获得支持服务的因素。我们发现，亲密伴侣暴力是阿拉伯裔美国人中的一个关键问题，并且代际地位、教育程度以及来自家人、朋友或宗教领袖的支持被认为会影响获得亲密伴侣暴力支持服务的机会。这项研究对于为阿拉伯裔美国女性制定具有文化敏感性的亲密伴侣暴力干预措施具有启示意义。
