This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the current study was to assess perceived social support as a moderator of the association between intimate partner violence (IPV) and depression. An additional facet of the current study included examination of how IPV measurement might impact results. Participants included 151 racially diverse female survivors of IPV. Two separate path analyses were conducted to assess social support as a moderator of the association between IPV measured both as a unitary construct and as three subtypes (physical IPV, sexual IPV, and psychological IPV) and depression. We expected that differences in findings would emerge based on how IPV was measured, such that social support would influence the relationship between IPV measured as a unitary construct, but not with each subtype and depression. When assessed as a unitary construct, the model examining whether perceived social support moderated the association between IPV and depression was not significant. When assessed as subtypes, the model examining whether perceived social support moderated the association between each type and depression was significant. Results indicated that social support moderated the association between sexual IPV and depression. At low levels of social support, lower levels of depression were noted at low levels of sexual IPV compared to high levels of sexual IPV. This association was not significant at higher levels of social support. Social support did not moderate the association between physical IPV or psychological IPV and depression. These findgins suggest that perceived social support, more specifically low perceived social support, may be particularly relevant with regard to sexual IPV. The current findings suggest that stratifying IPV by type rather than as a unitary construct may be relevant in understanding which variables impact the association between IPV and mental health outcomes. .

This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The experience of intimate partner violence (IPV) is a type of trauma that can greatly affect health and social functioning. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression are the two most common mental health problems that develop following IPV. IPV is also commonly associated with negative self-based emotions (shame and guilt) and lower levels of perceived social support. Few empirical studies have examined the unique impact that negative self-based emotions have on the maintenance of PTSD and depression, and the role that social support may have on these associations following IPV. This report will address the gaps in the current research and examine how social support may intervene in the association between negative self-based emotional states and mental health functioning. The present study included 152 help-seeking female IPV survivors. Results indicated that shame and guilt were significantly associated with both PTSD and depression. As well, shame and guilt were negatively associated with social support. There was a significant indirect associated noted between shame and guilt via social support such that higher perceptions of social support were associated with lower levels of shame and depression. No other significant indirect associations emerged. These results suggest that negative self-based emotions may contribute to mental health problems after IPV. Future interventions for IPV survivors should make an effort to address negative self-based emotions for women experiencing symptoms of both depression and PTSD. Additionally, interventions geared at increasing perceptions of social support may also help in alleviating post-trauma depression. Results are discussed in light of these findings. .
Download or read book The Association Between Lifetime Intimate Partner Violence Social Support and Depression Among Methamphetamine using Men and Women in San Diego CA written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, methamphetamine (MA) use is a growing public health concern, with particularly high rates of MA use in California. MA use has been associated with poor mental health outcomes, including depression, and an increased risk for intimate partner violence (IPV), especially among women. Evidence suggests that a woman's social support is a protective factor that reduces the risk of adverse mental health outcomes. This crosssectional analysis examined the relationship between lifetime physical and sexual IPV, social support and depression. Baseline data of female (n=207) and male (n=219) MA users enrolled in the FASTLANE II Study, an HIV behavioral prevention intervention in San Diego, CA, were used for the analysis. All participants were 18 years or older, tested negative for HIV, selfidentified as heterosexual, had at least one opposite sex partner in the past 2 months, and recently used meth (i.e., snorted, smoked or injected meth) at least once in the past two months. A multivariable logistic regression was performed in order to examine the relationship between IPV and depression, and the interaction between IPV and social support. This sample was ethnically diverse with a majority of women self-identifying as White (38%) and a majority of men self-identifying as African American (40%). About 60% of men and 88% of women reported ever experiencing physical and/or sexual IPV. With regards to the outcome, 66% of men and 80% of women experienced depressive symptoms in the past two weeks. The median social support score among men and women was 26 (interquartile range=:7, 28) and 24 (interquartile range=:7, 28), respectively. Among male MA users, lifetime IPV was found to be associated with depression after adjusting for social support. Social support was associated with depression among men ([aOR]: 0.91; 95% CI: 0.84-0.98) and women ([aOR]: 0.84; 95% CI: 0.76-0.93). Social support was found to be a protective factor for depression among men and women. Programs and services that target MA-using individuals with depressive symptoms may benefit from incorporating a social support component to optimize health outcomes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Intimate partner violence and sexual violence are significant global health problems and human rights issues. Under the rubric of violence against women the two overlapping issues have received increasing attention. Much of the response to these forms of violence has focussed either on advocacy, providing adequate health and legal services and ensuring safety of victims once violence is disclosed, or on screening for violence in the context of health services. When the word "prevention" is used, it is usually in reference to secondary and tertiary prevention - helping women get out of violent situations and preventing further violence. Little attention has been given to primary prevention - addressing the root causes with the goal of reducing the number of new cases. Recent hallmark publications have called for increased investment in primary prevention. As part of the Global Campaign for Violence Prevention, WHO is giving increased attention to the primary prevention of intimate partner violence and sexual violence. Preventing intimate partner and sexual violence against women: taking action and generating evidence is an important new tool for violence prevention researchers, practitioners and advocates provides a planning framework for developing policies and programmes for the prevention of intimate partner and sexual violence. This guide outlines the nature, magnitude, risks and consequences of intimate partner and sexual violence. It outlines strategies to prevent these forms of violence against women and describes how these can be tailored to the needs, capacities and resources of particular settings. It also emphasizes the importance of integrating scientific evaluation into all prevention activities in order to expand current knowledge of what works. The manual describes interventions of known effectiveness, those supported by emerging evidence, and those that could potentially be effective, but have yet to be sufficiently evaluated for their impact. For instance, school-based programmes to prevent violence occurring in "dating relationships" have been shown to be effective in randomized trials in the USA and Canada. Evidence is emerging for the effectiveness of empowerment approaches which use microfinance combined with gender-equality training or are based on communications and relationship skills training such as the Stepping Stones training package, which has been widely used in low- and middle-income countries. Strategies that aim to prevent intimate partner and sexual violence through reducing the harmful use of alcohol also show promise. A six-step framework for planning, implementing and evaluating such prevention programmes and policies is presented. This document is primarily aimed at policy-makers, programme planners and donors from public health and related sectors who seek to advance the prevention of intimate partner and sexual violence against women. In addition to the principal audience, other interested parties will include those working in other government sectors such as education, child welfare, social care, criminal justice and departments of women or gender equality; advocates from civil society organizations; local authorities; environmental and urban planners; and researchers."
Download or read book Influence of Support on the Relation Between Depression and Intimate Partner Violence in a Sample of Families at High risk for Child Abuse and Neglect written by Leigh Elizabeth Ridings and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a costly concern that affects millions of U.S. families per year. IPV cuts across socio-economic strata and occurs across various cultures, affecting individuals on many levels. In addition to experiencing other outcomes, many individuals affected by IPV report experiencing depressive symptoms. Consequently, the combination of IPV and depressive symptoms leads to problems within the family as well as poor child outcomes. Further, IPV and depression serve as two main risk factors for child abuse and neglect. Previous research suggests that certain protective factors exist to buffer against the harsh effects of IPV and depression, thereby decreasing the likelihood of child abuse and neglect. An additional factor that is positively associated with both IPV and depression is a history of child maltreatment (CM). CM history has been shown to serve as a risk factor for IPV and depression, and often places caregivers at risk for child abuse and neglect into adulthood. The purpose of the present study was to examine the longitudinal impact of protective factors--namely social support, family resources, and church attendance--and child maltreatment history on the relation between IPV and depression in a sample of families at high-risk for child abuse and neglect. It was first hypothesized that IPV victims with higher levels of supports (i.e., social support, family resources, and/or church attendance) would report lower depression symptoms over time, while IPV victims with a CM history would report higher depressive symptoms over time, controlling for other study variables. It was also hypothesized that distinct subgroups would exist within the study sample with respect to the presentation of depression status over time. Lastly, it was hypothesized that support variables and CM history would impact the relation between IPV and depression over time differently within each subgroup. Results of hypotheses one and three were not supported, although main effects of these variables on depression were significant over time. Results supported hypothesis two, as a two-group linear trajectory model best fit participant depression status. Future research should examine the impacts of differing categories of IPV on depression, and how support variables impact these relations.

Book excerpt: That family violence injures and kills its victims both physically and psychologically was established over two decades ago by early researchers in this field. Abused and Battered heralds the second generation of domestic abuse research: it examines the implications of the legal and social responses to both victims and offenders by systematically addressing the intended and unintended consequences of programs and procedures designed to ameliorate the effects of spousal and child abuse. Contributors to this multidisciplinary volume represent the leading perspectives in public health, law and criminal justice, psychology, and sociology. They provide new and sophisticated insights regarding the etiology of the multiple forms of family abuse and they suggest innovative strategies for mitigating the anguish resulting from physical and emotional violence against adults and children within households. The results of this research will be of interest to students and practitioners in sociology, public health, psychology and family studies, and to clinicians and therapists who treat victims or offenders.

Download or read book Examining the Association Between Mental Health Status and IPV Re victimization Among Abused Women During Postpartum who Participated in the DOVE Study written by Erica Turner and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a public health problem that affects one in four women during their lifetime. IPV tends to follow a cycle and without intervention the violence can potentially increase in severity and/or frequency. Prior victimization and trauma history are risk factors for future re-victimization. Additionally, reports indicate that about one-third of women experience IPV during pregnancy. A question of interest is whether the mental health status of pregnant women would be associated with increased risk of IPV re-victimization since mental health disorders such as depression and posttraumatic stress disorder are common during pregnancy. This cross-sectional study was a secondary data analysis of the Domestic Violence Enhanced Home Visitation (DOVE) Program. The primary aim of this study was to examine the association between depression and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and IPV re-victimization among abused women at 6-months postpartum. Additionally, this study explored social support as a moderator in the relationship between IPV re-victimization and depression and PSTD. Multiple logistic regression models were employed to examine the aims of this study demonstrated that there was a statistically significant relationship between postpartum depression and IPV re-victimization at 6 months postpartum (p = 0.00). When social support was introduced as a covariate, the relationship between depression and IPV re-victimization increased (p = 0.01). When social support was added to the model as a moderating variable, the combination of depression and medium social support increased the risk of IPV re-victimization ten-fold. Findings from this demonstrate the need to continue to support programs that screen for mental health of women throughout the perinatal period and increase support interventions that effectively manage the impact of postpartum depression. Policies that focus on improving the health of women prior to pregnancy should include continuing to fund preconception health through the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) where key preventive services recommendations include screening for IPV and mental health. The unexpected finding related to social support’s influence on the relationship between IPV re-victimization and depression warrants the need for future studies that examine what type of social support women need that could reduce the likelihood of them being re-victimized.
Download or read book The Interrelationship Between Intimate Partner Violence and Postpartum Depression in a Sample of Women Living in an Impoverished Section of an Urban Community written by Nicole Trabold and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on the relationship between Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) and Post Partum depression (PPD) is limited. Numerous antecedents and consequences of both IPV and PPD are noted in the literature, however understanding the impacts of partner violence on the postpartum mood are not clearly understood. This exploratory study used a mixed methods design to further understand the relationship between IPV and PPD among women who are living in an impoverished section of an urban community. Retrospective chart reviews were conducted from a pediatric/perinatal social work outreach program in a moderate size urban community (N=128). Individual logistic regressions on IPV and PPD were used to calculate odds ratios and confidence intervals for the factors in each of the risk areas: socio-demographics, social support, stress, substance use/abuse, trauma and prenatal depression. Results indicate a significant relationship between PPD and prenatal depression. Numerous significant relationships between factors and IPV were found, specifically: age, social support, substance use, child protections involvement. Qualitative analysis further revealed key findings to suggest that there is an indirect relationship between IPV and PPD, resulting from childhood abuse trauma, social support and prenatal depression. Social support appears pivotal for women who have experienced childhood abuse trauma; those with deficits in family social support appear to have a higher likelihood of entering an abusive adult relationship and are at higher risk of developing and suffering more severe PPD. Prenatal depression is also prominent in women who experience PPD and the incidence of prenatal depression appears influenced by IPV. The findings add to the limited research evidence surrounding the emerging complex relationship between IPV and PPD, and provide a framework that can guide social work practice and inform a future research agenda. This research provides a level of consciousness raising that will hopefully impact social work practice through a heightened awareness of issues that plague women.
