This study explored the experiences and perceptions of professional service providers offering services to women with disabilities exposed to intimate partner violence (IPV). Eighteen in-depth interviews were conducted with service providers working in health care, social work, the police, women's shelters, and the Centre for Violence Against Women. Our findings suggest that providing adequate IPV services to women with disabilities requires coordination and collaboration. IPV services were organized around five overarching themes: finding services; assessing the risk; identification; protection and care; and becoming independent. This approach was helpful for women who faced disability-related challenges in accessing IPV services.
本研究探讨了为遭受亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)的残疾女性提供服务的专业服务提供者的经验和看法。对从事医疗保健、社会工作、警察、妇女庇护所和暴力侵害妇女行为中心工作的 18 名服务提供者进行了深入访谈。我们的研究结果表明,为残疾女性提供充分的 IPV 服务需要协调与合作。IPV 服务围绕着五个总体主题展开:寻找服务;评估风险;识别;保护和关怀;以及独立。这种方法对那些在获得 IPV 服务方面面临残疾相关挑战的女性很有帮助。
