CONTEXT, OCCURRENCE, PREDICTORS OF PTSD IN ABUSED WOMEN

伴侣之间的暴力是一个重大的健康问题，也是一个重要的 造成女性伤亡的原因。这项研究的目的是 调查创伤后创伤的背景、发生和预测因素 受虐妇女在三种情境下的压力障碍(PTSD)： 庇护所、社区、两年或两年以上的虐待后，以及比较 从未受过虐待的女性。罗伊适应模型及其理论 将创伤后应激障碍的框架联系起来，指导本研究。在方法之间 三角测量使用的是176名非洲裔美国人和 英美女性。数量部分的每个参与者都将 被要求完成六份自我报告工具。数据将是 描述性分析和零阶相关性将用于 建立基本关系。将使用多元回归分析 建立提供最多解释的变量组合 受虐妇女创伤后应激障碍的差异。焦点小组的目标 面谈的目的是：a)确定殴打被认为是 创伤，b)确定对暴力的反应是否随着时间的推移而变化， 以及c)确定应对创伤的文化差异。这个 定性数据将使用主题分析进行分析。这项研究 是发展遭受重创的干预计划的关键一步 对于妇女和持续的模式发展和完善。

Violence between partners is a major health problem and a significant cause of injury and death to women. The purpose of this research is to investigate the context, occurrence, and predictors of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in battered women in three situational contexts: shelters, community, post-abuse for two or more years, and a comparison of never abused women. The Roy Adaptation Model and the theoretical framework of PTSD will be linked to guide this research. Between methods triangulation is used with a purposive sample of 176 African-American and Anglo-American women. Each participant in the quantitative component will be asked to complete six self-report instruments. The data will be analyzed descriptively and zero order correlations will be used to establish basic relationships. Multiple regression analysis will be used to establish the combination of variables that provide the most explained variance in relation to PTSD in battered women. Aims of the focus group interview are to: a) identify aspects of battering considered to be traumatic, b) determine whether responses to violence changes over time, and c) identify cultural differences in responses to trauma. The qualitative data will be analyzed using thematic analysis. This research is an essential step for developing intervention programs with battered women and for continued model development and refinement.
