Sexual assault occurring in the context of intimate partner violence (IPV) relationships has received much less attention in the literature on sexual assault. Studies of both survivors and their informal support network members are also lacking in both sexual assault and IPV literatures.
The current study's purpose was to examine sexual assault survivors' experiences where intimate partner violence was mentioned as part of their narratives.
Survivors and their informal support providers (SP; e.g., family, friends, romantic partners) were interviewed separately about disclosure, social reactions, and help-seeking following assault. Twenty-nine survivors and 12 informal support persons they told about their assaults mentioned survivor experiences of IPV-related sexual assault (IPVS).
Several themes emerged from the analysis of codes related to the traumatic event of IPV: 1) Severe physical violence in an intimate partner relationship; 2) use of violence for sexual gratification; 3) connecting trauma to other behavior, 4) unwanted duty and redefining abuse, and 5) state responses to IPVS.
Implications are drawn for future research and practice on IPVS with survivors and their informal support networks.
在亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）关系中发生的性侵犯在性侵犯文献中受到的关注要少得多。性侵犯和IPV文献中也都缺乏对幸存者及其非正式支持网络成员的研究。
本研究的目的是考察性侵犯幸存者在其叙述中提到亲密伴侣暴力时的经历。
分别就幸存者及其非正式支持提供者（如家人、朋友、浪漫伴侣）在遭受侵犯后的披露情况、社会反应和寻求帮助的情况进行访谈。29名幸存者及其12名被告知其遭受侵犯的非正式支持人员提到了与IPV相关的性侵犯（IPVS）的幸存者经历。
对与IPV创伤事件相关的编码分析得出了几个主题：1）亲密伴侣关系中的严重身体暴力；2）为性满足而使用暴力；3）将创伤与其他行为联系起来；4）不必要的责任和对虐待的重新定义；5）国家对IPVS的反应。
得出了对未来关于IPVS与幸存者及其非正式支持网络的研究和实践的启示。
