This mixed-methods secondary analysis examined VAW shelter use by 662 Canadian women abused by partners (50.5% Indigenous, 43.4% White, and 6.1% visible minority). Women who had never resided in shelters ( = 242) had less Severe Combined and Total IPV on the Composite Abuse Scale and fewer PTSD symptoms. More nonresidents worked full time and had higher incomes and no children. The 420 women residents mentioned strengths (70.4%) such as supportive staff and safety, and concerns (29.6%) about unsupportive staff and the shelter rules or facility. Some Indigenous women reported racist attitudes by shelter staff and child apprehensions. Practice implications are presented.
这项混合方法的二次分析研究了662名遭受伴侣虐待的加拿大女性对妇女受暴力侵害庇护所的使用情况（其中50.5%为原住民，43.4%为白人，6.1%为少数族裔）。从未在庇护所居住过的女性（n = 242）在综合虐待量表上的严重综合及总体亲密伴侣暴力得分较低，创伤后应激障碍症状也较少。更多未居住在庇护所的女性全职工作，收入较高且没有孩子。420名居住在庇护所的女性提到了诸如工作人员的支持和安全等优点（70.4%），以及对不支持的工作人员、庇护所规定或设施的担忧（29.6%）。一些原住民女性报告了庇护所工作人员的种族主义态度和儿童被拘押的情况。文中还阐述了实践意义。
