Abstract

Purpose

The aim of this research study was to explore the lived experiences of women survivors of intimate partner violence to gain insight into how sociocultural contexts affected the processes of trauma recovery and posttraumatic growth for them.

Methods

Interpretive phenomenological analysis was used to design, conduct, and interpret data collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews. Six participants who experienced intimate partner violence in past romantic or marital relationships completed initial and follow-up interviews.

Results

Through in-depth data analysis and interpretation, five major themes related to sociocultural contexts that affected survivors emerged: (a) family, (b) friends, (c) schools and educational institutions, (d) community and neighborhood, and (e) law enforcement and judiciary agencies.

Conclusions

Findings indicate that supportive, unsupportive, or mixed responses from any of the listed sociocultural contexts can impact survivors’ processes of recovery and posttraumatic growth. Implications of findings and directions for future research are discussed.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Family Violence (JOFV) is a peer-reviewed publication committed to the dissemination of rigorous research on preventing, ending, and ameliorating all forms of family violence. JOFV welcomes scholarly articles related to the broad categories of child abuse and maltreatment, dating violence, domestic and partner violence, and elder abuse. Within these categories, JOFV emphasizes research on physical violence, psychological violence, sexual violence, and homicides that occur in families. Studies on families in all their various forms and diversities are welcome. JOFV publishes studies using quantitative, qualitative, and/or mixed methods involving the collection of primary data. Rigorous systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and theoretical analyses are also welcome. To help advance scientific understandings of family violence, JOFV is especially interested in research using transdisciplinary perspectives and innovative research methods. Because family violence is a global problem requiring solutions from diverse disciplinary perspectives, JOFV strongly encourages submissions from scholars worldwide from all disciplines and backgrounds.
