This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2).Violence disproportionately affects certain communities. The ways by which support is offered to individuals and communities affected by violence is often based on one-size-fits-all models that fail to consider how individual- and community-level attributes affect responses to interventions. This doctoral dissertation research uses theory from medical and psychological anthropology to frame an investigation of how hospital-based violence intervention programs (HVIPs) intersect with individual attributes and personal concepts of violence and healing to impact health and well-being among individuals who have experienced traumatic violence. In doing so, this project offers a contextually informed understanding of the experiences of individuals who survive violent injury, offering insights to facilitate improvement of HVIP recruitment, retention, and programming. This research trains a doctoral student in cultural anthropological science and method and will disseminate results widely to academic and non-academic audiences and interested stakeholders. This research builds upon and extends anthropological theories of emotion, care, embodiment, and deservingness to investigate how affective experiences influence personal feelings of discomfort, wellbeing, and illness related to violent injury via three specific objectives: 1) characterizing the emotional experiences of PTSD in HVIP settings; 2) understanding how HVIPs conceptualize violence and encourage coping strategies; and 3) examining how concepts of violence interact with concepts of care and patient response to impact health, well-being, and access to psycho-social support. A mixed methods approach is used to investigate these issues within two trauma centers dealing with significant traumatic violence patient loads. The methods include participant observation, ethnographic interviews, validated quantitative measures of mental health, and descriptive statistics of relevant demographic data. The findings inform the ways in which affected individuals understand and interpret their emotions to provide alternative theorizations of conditions of violence as experienced by victims.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项全部或部分由2021年美国救援计划法案（公法117-2）资助。暴力对某些社区的影响不成比例。向受暴力影响的个人和社区提供支持的方式往往基于一刀切的模式，没有考虑个人和社区层面的属性如何影响对干预措施的反应。这项博士论文研究使用医学和心理人类学的理论来调查医院暴力干预计划（HVIPs）如何与个人属性和暴力和愈合的个人概念相交，以影响经历过创伤性暴力的个人的健康和福祉。在这样做的过程中，该项目提供了一个上下文知情的了解谁生存的暴力伤害的个人的经验，提供见解，以促进HVIP招聘，保留和编程的改进。这项研究培训了一名文化人类学科学和方法的博士生，并将向学术和非学术受众以及感兴趣的利益攸关方广泛传播研究成果。本研究以人类学的情感、关怀、体现和应得理论为基础，通过三个具体目标来探讨情感体验如何影响暴力伤害相关的个人不适、幸福和疾病感受：1）描述HVIP环境中PTSD的情感体验; 2）了解HVIP如何概念化暴力并鼓励应对策略;以及3）研究暴力概念如何与护理和患者反应的概念相互作用，以影响健康，福祉和获得心理社会支持。在处理大量创伤暴力患者的两个创伤中心内，使用混合方法来调查这些问题。方法包括参与观察，民族志访谈，心理健康的有效定量措施，以及相关人口统计数据的描述性统计。调查结果告知受影响的个人理解和解释他们的情绪的方式，以提供受害者所经历的暴力状况的替代理论，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
