Abstract

Purpose

To evaluate a cutoff score for the Healing after Gender-based Violence Scale (GBV-Heal)—an instrument to assess recovery progress for survivors of GBV.

Methods

We surveyed 321 women-identifying GBV survivors living in the Midwestern United States from April to December 2022 to evaluate their mental health symptom burden, trauma coping self-efficacy, sense of meaning, healing progress, and recovery stage. We used Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis to determine the best cutoff score for the GBV-Heal.

Results

We found a cutoff point of 64 for the GBV-Heal. Those above this cutoff point were found to have significantly lower PTSD and depression symptoms and significantly higher trauma coping self-efficacy and sense of meaning compared to those below the cutoff point.

Conclusions

The GBV-Heal cutoff score can help practitioners recognize survivors needing additional support or resources as they navigate their healing journey. The use of this scale can promote tailored care for survivors seeking healing support in a variety of public health sectors.

确定性别暴力后愈合量表（GBV-Heal）的临界值：简要报告

方法我们在 2022 年 4 月至 12 月期间对居住在美国中西部的 321 名女性性别暴力幸存者进行了调查，以评估她们的心理健康症状负担、创伤应对自我效能感、意义感、愈合进展和恢复阶段。我们使用受试者操作特征（ROC）分析来确定 GBV-Heal 的最佳分界点。结果我们发现 GBV-Heal 的临界点为 64 分，与低于临界点的幸存者相比，高于临界点的幸存者创伤后应激障碍和抑郁症状明显减轻，创伤应对自我效能感和意义感明显提高。使用该量表可促进为在各种公共卫生领域寻求愈合支持的幸存者提供量身定制的护理。

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.
