Abstract

This mixed-methods secondary analysis examined VAW shelter use by 662 Canadian women abused by partners (50.5% Indigenous, 43.4% White, and 6.1% visible minority). Women who had never resided in shelters (n = 242) had less Severe Combined and Total IPV on the Composite Abuse Scale and fewer PTSD symptoms. More nonresidents worked full time and had higher incomes and no children. The 420 women residents mentioned strengths (70.4%) such as supportive staff and safety, and concerns (29.6%) about unsupportive staff and the shelter rules or facility. Some Indigenous women reported racist attitudes by shelter staff and child apprehensions. Practice implications are presented.

"这是一项宝贵的服务，但也是一个艰难的地方："妇女对暴力侵害妇女庇护所的看法。

这项混合方法二次分析调查了 662 名受到伴侣虐待的加拿大妇女（50.5% 为土著人，43.4% 为白人，6.1% 为有色人种）使用暴力侵害妇女庇护所的情况。从未在庇护所居住过的妇女（n = 242）在综合虐待量表中的严重综合 IPV 和总体 IPV 较少，创伤后应激障碍症状也较少。更多的非居住者从事全职工作，收入较高且没有子女。420 名女性居住者提到了她们的优点（70.4%），如支持她们的工作人员和安全，以及她们的担忧（29.6%），如不支持她们的工作人员和庇护所的规则或设施。一些土著妇女报告了收容所工作人员的种族主义态度以及对儿童的担忧。本报告提出了对实践的影响。
