Abstract

Objective: Although a public health crisis, intimate partner violence (IPV) has been understudied for middle-aged women with mood disorders during their perimenopausal and postmenopausal years. The aims of this study were to examine the relationship between IPV and hot flashes/night sweats (HF/NS) frequency and severity among women with mood disorders and to test whether the effect of cognitive behavioral group therapy on menopausal symptoms differs between those with and without IPV at baseline and post-test.

Methods: Of 59 participants from a mood disorders outpatient clinic enrolled in the parent study, 24 experienced IPV. This study analyzed pretreatment and post-treatment data from the Revised Conflict Tactic Scale - Short Form-2, and HF/NS frequency and severity ratings on the Hot Flash Daily Diary using the McNemar chi-square test.

Results: The presence of any type of violence at pretreatment was significantly (p < 0.01) linked to improvements in HF/NS frequency and severity. Women who showed improvements in negotiation skills had better outcomes in menopausal symptoms. Sexual coercion increased from one to three women.

Conclusions: Negotiation skills may help women with mood disorders to reduce HF/NS frequency and severity. More studies need to be conducted with a special focus on helping women in this population.

女性情绪障碍及夫妻冲突:经团体治疗后更年期症状改善。

目的:虽然亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)是一种公共卫生危机，但对绝经期和绝经后心境障碍中年妇女的亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)研究不足。本研究的目的是研究情绪障碍妇女中IPV与潮热/盗汗(HF/NS)频率和严重程度之间的关系，并测试认知行为团体治疗对绝经期症状的影响在基线和测试后是否在有和没有IPV的妇女中有所不同。方法:来自一家情绪障碍门诊诊所的59名参与者参加了父母的研究，其中24人经历了IPV。本研究采用McNemar卡方检验分析了修订冲突策略量表-短表-2的治疗前和治疗后数据，以及潮热日记中的HF/NS频率和严重程度评分。结论:谈判技巧可以帮助有情绪障碍的妇女降低HF/NS的频率和严重程度。需要进行更多的研究，特别关注如何帮助这一人群中的妇女。
