本研究通过三个家庭暴力项目，对84名家庭暴力受害者的创伤症状和生活技能需求进行了调查。妇女完成了两个自我报告工具：创伤症状发明者（TSI）和职业自我评估（OSA）。工作人员参加了关于他们对妇女需要的看法的重点小组。女性在TSI临床量表的防御性回避（39.8%）、侵入性体验（30.1%）和紧张缓解行为（24.1%）方面的得分均在临床范围内。在OSA方面，各小组的优先事项各不相同，但都表示希望更独立地发挥作用。他们的心理健康功能和需求的优先次序根据他们参与服务提供系统的程度而有所不同。工作人员认为，妇女在资金管理、寻找和获得就业、独立找到永久住房、完成自我照顾和家庭管理活动、管理压力和养育子女等方面缺乏技能。调查结果表明，心理健康和生活技能的需求必须得到解决。
This study identified the trauma symptoms and life skill needs of 84 domestic violence victims front three domestic violence programs. Women completed two self-report tools: Trauma Symptom Inventor, (TSI) and Occupational Self Assessment (OSA). Staff members participated in focus groups regarding their perceptions of the women's needs. Women scored within the clinical range on the Defensive Avoidance (39.8%), Intrusive Experiences (30.1%), and Tension Reduction Behavior (24.1%) clinical scales of the TSI. On the OSA, the groups' priorities differed although all demonstrated it desire to function more independently. Their mental health functioning and prioritization of needs differed based on their level of involvement with the service delivery system. Staff members believe women lack skills in the areas of money management, seeking and obtaining employment, locating permanent housing, independently, completing self-care and hone management activities, managing stress, and parenting. The findings indicate that both mental health and life skills needs must be addressed.
