尽管报告的亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）随着年龄的增长而减少，但相当多的老年妇女在其关系中经历了IPV。农村环境的结构和文化可能无意中掩盖了针对老年妇女的暴力行为，阻碍了预防和治疗工作。在生态社区框架的指导下，进行了3个焦点小组，涉及24名在肯塔基州农村从事IPV受害者工作的专业人员，并对10名经历过IPV的老年农村妇女进行了深入访谈，以检查晚年暴力的轨迹和社区对暴力的反应。研究发现，家庭与资源、文化与地域、宗教信仰、社区支持、政府实体等因素对农村老年妇女IPV产生了多重交互影响。
Although reports of intimate partner violence (IPV) decrease with age, a significant number of aging women experience IPV in their relationships. The structure and culture of rural environments may inadvertently conceal violence against aging women and inhibit prevention and treatment efforts. Guided by an ecological community framework, 3 focus groups involving 24 professionals working with victims of IPV in rural Kentucky and in-depth interviews with 10 aging rural women who had experienced IPV were conducted to examine the trajectory of, and community responses to, violence in late life. Findings revealed multiple interacting influences on IPV of aging women in rural areas including the women's families and resources, culture and locality, religion, community support, and government entities.
