相对较少的研究考虑了COVID-19大流行对亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）倡导者或他们工作的机构的影响。在这项研究中，基于美国IPV倡导者在COVID-19大流行期间与幸存者合作的经验，我们进行了访谈，以探讨：1）在COVID-19大流行期间作为IPV倡导者工作的个人挑战和复原力; 2）机构如何适应大流行以支持IPV幸存者和倡导者;以及3）特定文化机构的具体需求和挑战。我们于2020年6月至11月对53名IPV倡导者进行了半结构化访谈。如果参与者直接与幸存者一起工作，被确定为IPV倡导者，在美国的机构工作，并且说和理解英语，则包括在内。我们创建了一个抽样矩阵，以确保为被边缘化社区的幸存者服务的IPV倡导者有足够的代表性。访谈是由研究小组的一名训练有素的成员通过虚拟平台进行的。我们使用了归纳主题分析方法，每周举行编码会议，以解决编码中的差异。数据中出现了五个主题：1）IPV倡导者描述了在COVID-19大流行期间作为IPV倡导者的工作如何影响他们个人; 2）机构开发了满足IPV倡导者需求的新方法; 3）机构开发了新的解决方案来满足与流行病相关的客户需求; 4）将倡导工作转变为虚拟形式带来了挑战，但也带来了机遇; 5）流行病的局限性和影响加剧了流行病前对文化特定机构的挑战。IPV倡导者是一线工作人员，他们在调整服务以满足COVID-19大流行期间幸存者的需求方面发挥了重要作用，同时应对大流行对他们自己及其机构的影响。在未来的公共卫生危机中，发展机构间合作并促进倡导者的安全和福祉将有助于支持IPV幸存者。
Relatively few studies have considered the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on intimate partner violence (IPV) advocates or the agencies where they work. In this study, based on United States IPV advocates’ experiences working with survivors during the COVID-19 pandemic, we conducted interviews to explore: 1) personal challenges and resilience working as IPV advocates during the COVID-19 pandemic; 2) how agencies adapted to the pandemic to support IPV survivors and advocates; and 3) specific needs and challenges of culturally-specific agencies. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 53 IPV advocates from June to November 2020. Participants were included if they worked directly with survivors, identified as an IPV advocate, worked at a US-based agency, and spoke and understood English. We created a sampling matrix to ensure adequate representation from IPV advocates serving survivors from communities which have been marginalized. Interviews were conducted through a virtual platform by a trained member of the research team. We used an inductive thematic analysis approach, with weekly coding meetings to resolve discrepancies in coding. Five themes emerged from the data: 1) IPV advocates described how working as an IPV advocate during the COVID-19 pandemic impacted them personally; 2) agencies developed new methods of addressing IPV advocates’ needs; 3) agencies developed new solutions to address pandemic-related client needs; 4) transitioning advocacy work to virtual formats created challenges but also opportunities and; 5) pandemic limitations and impacts compounded pre-pandemic challenges for culturally specific agencies. IPV advocates are frontline workers who have played essential roles in adjusting services to meet survivor needs during the COVID-19 pandemic while simultaneously coping with pandemic impacts on themselves and their agencies. Developing inter-agency collaborations and promoting advocates’ safety and wellbeing during future public health crises will help support IPV survivors.
