This study sought to explore the variety of coping strategies that women employ in response to intimate partner violence. Coping strategies can help women tolerate, minimise and deal with difficult challenges or conflicts in their relationships, such as learning to be independent from their husbands and surviving trauma. Drawing on 18 in-depth interviews conducted in Mwanza, Tanzania, we examined two different coping strategies - engagement and disengagement coping - with respect to how women react to economic, emotional, physical and sexual intimate partner violence. While the choice of coping methods remains a complex issue, most women employed engagement strategies as a response to economic violence and disengagement coping for sexual violence. We explore the implications of gender and societal roles for coping decisions and analyse how access to resources may provide women with the tools to limit future violence.
本研究旨在探索女性应对亲密伴侣暴力时所采用的各种应对策略。应对策略可帮助女性容忍、减少并处理关系中的困难挑战或冲突，比如学会独立于丈夫并从创伤中挺过来。基于在坦桑尼亚姆万扎进行的18次深度访谈，我们考察了两种不同的应对策略——参与式应对和脱离式应对——涉及女性如何应对经济、情感、身体和性方面的亲密伴侣暴力。虽然应对方法的选择仍然是一个复杂的问题，但大多数女性采用参与式策略来应对经济暴力，采用脱离式应对来应对性暴力。我们探讨了性别和社会角色对应对决策的影响，并分析了获取资源如何为女性提供限制未来暴力的工具。
