Over the past two decades, several studies have highlighted the harmful mental and physical effects of intimate partner violence (IPV) on its victims. However, more repeated measures research is needed to observe the long-term health and emotional effects of IPV. This includes how these impacts change when violence is reduced or ceases, such as when the perpetrator receives intervention. Further limitations of existing research include the lack of data on abuse frequency, severity, and impacts linked with specific forms of abuse.
This research explores the impacts on IPV victims whose abusive (ex-)partners participate in perpetrator programs (PPs). It aims to identify distinct patterns of impacts associated with different IPV types and pinpoint the most damaging IPV behaviors through repeated measures data.
Longitudinal.
In total, 349 heterosexual women, who were (ex-)partners of men enrolled in multiple European gender-based violence PPs, completed the Impact Outcome Monitoring Toolkit questionnaire.
The results showed that emotionally abusive behavior and-especially coercive control and online violence-were highly prevalent and had profound, alarming impacts, including self-harm and suicidal ideation. Over two-thirds of the sample reported experiencing sadness as a result of the violence endured, which was identified as a significant impact. Moreover, isolation had a common effect on emotional and physical violence. Recognizing threats and their damaging effects on victims has emerged as crucial because of their impact on victims. Finally, sexual violence, refusing to use contraception and forcing sex were the most damaging behaviors. Interestingly, our study found specific impacts of extreme abusive behavior depending on the type of abuse.
This study clearly supports the statement that the impact of abusive behavior can persist after it ends, as half of the victims no longer experiencing violence at the end of the PP reported at least one impact.
在过去二十年中，多项研究强调了亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）对受害者身心的有害影响。然而，需要更多的重复测量研究来观察亲密伴侣暴力的长期健康和情感影响。这包括当暴力减少或停止时，例如当施暴者接受干预时，这些影响如何变化。现有研究的进一步局限性包括缺乏关于虐待频率、严重程度以及与特定虐待形式相关的影响的数据。
本研究探讨虐待性（前）伴侣参与施暴者项目（PPs）对亲密伴侣暴力受害者的影响。其目的是通过重复测量数据确定与不同亲密伴侣暴力类型相关的不同影响模式，并找出最具破坏性的亲密伴侣暴力行为。
纵向研究。
共有349名异性恋女性，她们是参与多个欧洲基于性别的暴力施暴者项目的男性的（前）伴侣，完成了影响结果监测工具包问卷。
结果表明，情感虐待行为，尤其是强制控制和网络暴力非常普遍，并且产生了深刻、惊人的影响，包括自我伤害和自杀念头。超过三分之二的样本报告称，由于所遭受的暴力而感到悲伤，这被确定为一种重大影响。此外，孤立对情感暴力和身体暴力都有共同影响。认识到威胁及其对受害者的破坏性影响已变得至关重要，因为它们对受害者有影响。最后，性暴力以及拒绝使用避孕措施和强迫性行为是最具破坏性的行为。有趣的是，我们的研究发现了极端虐待行为根据虐待类型产生的特定影响。
本研究明确支持这样一种说法，即虐待行为结束后其影响可能会持续存在，因为在施暴者项目结束时不再遭受暴力的受害者中有一半报告至少有一种影响。
