先前的研究表明，经历亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）可能会对就业结果产生负面影响。本研究探讨了IPV和就业稳定性之间的关系，同时和纵向的样本512主要是亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民的年轻女性生活在夏威夷。这项研究中的女性被确定为面临儿童虐待的风险。大约一半的妇女表示，她们目前的关系状态是已婚或同居。三分之二以上的妇女高中毕业，一半的妇女在过去一年中工作。该研究通过在12个月的时间段内同时评估IPV和就业的同时关联来探索IPV和就业的并行关联。该研究通过分析两个时间点的暴力作为6至8年后不稳定就业的预测因素，审查了IPV的纵向影响。该研究还探讨了抑郁症的中介作用。研究结果表明，同时和纵向的IPV与就业稳定性的负相关。遭受暴力的妇女更有可能同时经历不稳定的就业。在某个时间点经历过IPV的妇女在六年后的就业稳定性水平较低。这种减少部分是由经历抑郁症状介导的。认为自己的主要种族是夏威夷土著或太平洋岛民的妇女比亚裔美国妇女更有可能经历不稳定的就业。需要更多的研究来探索心理健康，种族和民族以及IPV和就业之间关系的暴力类型的作用。
Previous research suggests that experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV) may negatively affect employment outcomes. This study explores the relationship between IPV and employment stability both concurrently and longitudinally among a sample of 512 predominantly Asian American and Pacific Islander young women living in Hawaii. Women in this study were identified as being at risk of child maltreatment. About half of women indicated that their current relationship status was married or living together. More than two-thirds of women had graduated from high school and half had worked in the past year. The study explored the concurrent association of IPV and employment by assessing them simultaneously over a 12 month time period. The study examined the longitudinal impact of IPV by analyzing violence at two time points as predictors of unstable employment 6 to 8 years later. The study also explored the mediating effects of depression. Study results demonstrated both concurrent and longitudinal negative associations of IPV with employment stability. Women who experienced violence were more likely to be experiencing unstable employment concurrently. Women who experienced IPV at one point in time had lower levels of employment stability six years later. This decrease was partially mediated by experiencing depressive symptoms. Women who identified their primary ethnicity as Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander were much more likely to experience unstable employment than Asian American women. More research is needed to explore the roles of mental health, race and ethnicity, and types of violence in the relationship between IPV and employment.
