1965 年《移民和国籍法》通过后，种族出现了显着的多样化，因此，亲密伴侣对妇女实施的暴力成为受虐女性移民调查的一个特别重要的领域。本文回顾了亲密伴侣暴力的当代文献；试图说明当前的知识状况；并提供了一个概念框架，总结了移民妇女面临夫妻暴力挑战的独特经历。确定了影响移民妇女的易感性、重新调整和恢复的五种基本文化和结构机制：（1）文化适应，（2）文化机制，（3）心理健康，（4）结构要素，（5）法律背景和（6）社会支持。讨论了文献背景下的实践意义概要。
Violence inflicted against women by their intimate partners presents an especially critical area of inquiry among battered female immigrants following the striking ethnic diversification after the passage of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965. This article reviews contemporary literature of intimate partner violence; seeks to illustrate the current state of knowledge; and provides a conceptual framework that summarizes the unique experiences of immigrant women confronting the challenges of couple violence. Five underlying cultural and structural mechanisms influencing immigrant women's susceptibility, re-adjustment, and recovery were identified: (1) acculturation, (2) cultural mechanisms, (3) mental health, (4) structural elements, (5) legal contexts, and (6) social support. A synopsis of practice implications in the context of the literature is discussed.
