CONTEXT, OCCURRENCE, PREDICTORS OF PTSD IN ABUSED WOMEN

伴侣之间的暴力是一个主要的健康问题， 造成妇女伤亡。本研究的目的是 调查创伤后的背景、发生和预测因素 在三种情境下，受虐妇女的应激障碍： 庇护所，社区，虐待后两年或两年以上，以及比较 从未虐待过的女性罗伊适应模型和理论 创伤后应激障碍的框架将联系起来，以指导这项研究。方法之间 三角测量是用一个有目的的样本176非洲裔美国人和 英美女性量化部分的每个参与者将 被要求完成六个自我报告工具。数据将 分析的连续性和零阶相关性将被用来 建立基本关系。 将使用多元回归分析 建立变量的组合，提供最多的解释 与创伤后应激障碍有关的差异。焦点小组的目标 面谈的目的是：a）确定被认为是 创伤，B）确定对暴力的反应是否随时间而变化， （c）找出应对创伤的文化差异。的 定性数据将采用专题分析法进行分析。本研究 是制定受虐儿童干预计划的重要一步， 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.
