亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）是一个普遍存在的社会问题，每年影响数百万美国女性的心理健康。现有文献将我们的注意力吸引到IPV对心理健康的破坏性影响上，但在很大程度上忽视了生态因素如何进一步解释幸存者的福祉。这项研究调查了除了妇女遭受的虐待之外，社区劣势如何可能导致幸存者的福祉受损。社区混乱和对受害的恐惧大大影响了幸存者的福祉，超过了虐待。虽然邻里关系紊乱和恐惧的女性间影响与女性抑郁或生活质量（QOL）的变化无关，但在女性内部发现了显著的影响。邻里障碍的改变与生活质量的改变呈负相关，这种关系完全由恐惧介导。虽然邻里关系紊乱和抑郁之间没有直接的关系，但通过幸存者的恐惧发现了间接的影响。讨论了对未来研究和实践的启示。
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a pervasive social problem impacting the psychological well-being of millions of US women annually. The extant literature draws our attention to the devastating mental health effects of IPV, but largely overlooks how ecological factors may further explain survivors’ well-being. This study examined how neighborhood disadvantage may contribute to survivors’ compromised well-being, in addition to the abuse women experienced. Neighborhood disorder and fear of victimization significantly impacted survivors’ well-being, over and above abuse. Although between-women effects of neighborhood disorder and fear were unrelated to change in women’s depression or quality of life (QOL), significant within-woman effects were detected. Change in neighborhood disorder was negatively associated with change in QOL, and this relationship was fully mediated by fear. While no direct relationship between change in neighborhood disorder and depression was detected, an indirect effect through survivors’ fear was revealed. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.
