移民妇女受到亲密伴侣暴力的影响不成比例，这会造成心理健康问题，如创伤后应激障碍和抑郁症。移民后的障碍限制了移民妇女获得支助服务的机会，这可能进一步削弱她们的心理健康症状和安全。安全，健康和积极赋权（BSHAPE）数字干预旨在通过整合正念减压（MBSR）实践的多成分方法来解决移民妇女的身体安全和医疗保健需求。本文报道了18名黑人移民妇女的定性反馈结果，这些妇女最近接触了IPV，并同时出现了心理健康症状，她们参加了BSHAPE的正念课程。我们确定了女性认为对她们的康复有益的正念元素。妇女的反馈表明，通过积极的评价和应对战略，治愈了创伤，增强了权能。注意到正念元素的好处是促进自我同情，自我实现，在生活中前进的意图，以及发展积极性或乐观感。其他有益的因素是放松，自我照顾和反思，自我意识，自我控制和集中思考。我们的研究结果表明，在干预措施中纳入正念练习，有利于促进虐待关系中移民妇女的康复和赋权。
Immigrant women are disproportionately affected by intimate partner violence (IPV), which poses risk for mental health problems, such as PTSD and depression. Post-migration barriers limit immigrant women’s access to supportive services, which can further debilitate their mental health symptoms and their safety. The Being safe, Healthy, and Positively Empowered (BSHAPE) digital intervention was designed to address physical safety and healthcare needs of immigrant women through a multi-component approach that integrated mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) practices. This paper reports qualitative feedback findings from eighteen Black immigrant women with recent IPV exposure and co-occurring mental health symptoms, who participated in the mindfulness sessions of BSHAPE. We identified elements of mindfulness that women perceived as beneficial in their healing. Women’s feedback indicated healing and empowerment through positive appraisals and coping strategies. The benefits were noted for mindfulness elements promoting self-compassion, self-actualization, intentionality of moving forward in life, and developing positivity or a sense of optimism. Other helpful elements were relaxation, self-care and reflection, self-awareness, self-control and focused thinking. Our findings show that incorporating mindfulness practices in interventions can be beneficial for promoting the healing and empowerment of immigrant women in abusive relationships.
