Abstract
Purpose: Intimate partner violence is a global public health problem that mainly affects women rather than men. It has been associated with negative physical and mental health outcomes, including experiences of revictimization. This systematic review describes the risk and protective factors associated with revictimization in female victims of intimate partner violence.
Methods: We searched for articles published between 1995 and 2024 in the Scopus, Web of Science, and PsycINFO databases. In total, 925 studies that met the inclusion criteria were reviewed, of which 38 were evaluated as eligible, and 12 were finally included in the review.
Results: Among the risk factors were mental health problems, some demographic characteristics of the victims, previous experiences of violence, and coping and attachment styles. Economic independence, empowerment, and restraining orders were protective factors.
Conclusions: Based on the results, we present some practical implications for health and public policy as well as recommendations for directing future research into revictimization.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Social Psychiatry, established in 1954, is a leading publication dedicated to the field of social psychiatry. It serves as a platform for the exchange of research findings and discussions on the influence of social, environmental, and cultural factors on mental health and well-being. The journal is particularly relevant to psychiatrists and multidisciplinary professionals globally who are interested in understanding the broader context of psychiatric disorders and their impact on individuals and communities.
Social psychiatry, as a discipline, focuses on the origins and outcomes of mental health issues within a social framework, recognizing the interplay between societal structures and individual mental health. The journal draws connections with related fields such as social anthropology, cultural psychiatry, and sociology, and is influenced by the latest developments in these areas.
The journal also places a special emphasis on fast-track publication for brief communications, ensuring that timely and significant research can be disseminated quickly. Additionally, it strives to reflect its international readership by publishing state-of-the-art reviews from various regions around the world, showcasing the diverse practices and perspectives within the psychiatric disciplines. This approach not only contributes to the scientific understanding of social psychiatry but also supports the global exchange of knowledge and best practices in mental health care.
