本研究的目的是通过个人对报纸报道的亲密伴侣暴力事件的反应来了解公众对晚年亲密伴侣暴力的认识。设计与方法采用扎根理论技术，对24起IPV晚年事件的在线新闻条目和读者评论进行分析。研究人员对这些新闻进行了事件细节、故事框架和报道风格的检查。公开编码过程（Charmaz，K. [2006年]。建构扎根理论：通过定性分析的实践指南。Thousand Oaks，CA：Sage Publications.）用于全面了解读者发表的评论中的主题和模式。结果很少有海报表明事件是IPV发作。当许多海报努力理解事件时，他们试图通过将责任归咎于其他人来消除肇事者的罪责。评论受到个人对IPV，关系和老年的假设和观点的影响;新闻项目的报道风格;以及其他海报发布的评论。改变公众对晚年IPV的看法需要通过教育提高认识，重新构建信息呈现的方式，并更加强调暴力的背景。通过互动式新闻媒体，记者，参与式记者和决策者可以提高公众对晚年IPV的认识和理解。
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to gain insight into public awareness of intimate partner violence (IPV) in late life by how individuals respond to incidents of IPV reported in the newspaper. DESIGN AND METHODS Using grounded theory techniques, online news items covering 24 incidents of IPV in late life, and the reader comments posted to them were analyzed. The news items were examined for incident details, story framing, and reporting style. An open coding process (Charmaz, K. [2006]. Constructing grounded theory: A practical guide through qualitative analysis. Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage Publications.) was used to generate a comprehensive understanding of themes and patterns in the comments posted by readers. RESULTS Few posters indicated that incidents were episodes of IPV. As many posters struggled to make sense of incidents, they attempted to remove guilt from the perpetrator by assigning blame elsewhere. Comments were influenced by personal assumptions and perspectives about IPV, relationships, and old age; reporting style of the news items; and comments posted by other posters. IMPLICATIONS Altering public views of IPV in late life requires raising awareness through education, reframing the ways in which information is presented, and placing greater emphasis on the context of the violence. By engaging interactive news media, reporters, participatory journalists, and policymakers can enhance public recognition and understanding of IPV in late life.
