Abstract

Abstract This study assesses the relationship between threatened/enacted violence against companion animals, intimate partner violence (IPV), fear of lethal violence, and help-seeking in a community sample of IPV survivors in Canada (n = 630). After controlling for socio-demographic covariates, IPV survivors who report animal maltreatment by their partner were significantly more likely to fear for their lives and to seek help from multiple sources of support than survivors who did not report animal maltreatment, with the relationship between animal abuse and help-seeking mediated by survivors’ fear of lethal IPV. Implications for the provision of effective services and supports to this high-risk population of IPV survivors are discussed.
家庭暴力、伴侣动物虐待和求助:对致命暴力恐惧的中介作用
摘要本研究评估了对伴侣动物的威胁/实施的暴力、亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)、对致命暴力的恐惧和寻求帮助之间的关系 = 630)。在控制了社会人口协变量后,报告伴侣虐待动物的IPV幸存者比没有报告虐待动物的幸存者更有可能担心自己的生命,并从多种支持来源寻求帮助,虐待动物和寻求帮助之间的关系是由幸存者对致命IPV的恐惧介导的。讨论了为IPV幸存者这一高危人群提供有效服务和支持的意义。
