This study investigated posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) prevalence among a sample of intimate partner violence (IPV) survivors ( = 77) who filed for restraining orders in rural Louisiana during the COVID-19 pandemic. IPV survivors were individually interviewed to assess their self-reported levels of perceived stress, resilience, potential PTSD, COVID-19-related experiences, and sociodemographic characteristics. Data were analyzed to differentiate group membership between two groups; non-PTSD and probable PTSD. Results suggest the probable PTSD group had lower levels of resilience and higher levels of perceived stress compared to the non-PTSD group. Findings suggest the importance of providing services during disaster to reduce PTSD for IPV survivors.
本研究调查了在 COVID-19 大流行期间,在路易斯安那州农村地区申请限制令的亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)幸存者(n=77)样本中创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)的患病率。对 IPV 幸存者进行了个体访谈,以评估他们自我报告的感知压力、韧性、潜在 PTSD、与 COVID-19 相关的经历和社会人口学特征。对数据进行了分析,以区分两个组群之间的群体成员身份;非 PTSD 和可能 PTSD。结果表明,与非 PTSD 组相比,可能 PTSD 组的韧性水平较低,感知压力水平较高。研究结果表明,在灾难期间提供服务以减少 IPV 幸存者 PTSD 的重要性。
