“…Studies consistently report anxiety as a psychological health consequence among women who have experienced IPV (Ahmadzad-Asl, Davoudi, Zarei, Mohammad-Sadeghi, & Rasoulian, 2016;Dillon et al, 2013;Helfrich et al, 2008). In a study examining the correlation between IPV, depression, and anxiety among married women, Ahmadzad-Asl et al (2016) found that women who experienced physical abuse within the last 12 months reported having more clinically significant anxiety (47.8%) compared to women without any exposure to violence (29.3%). Helfrich et al (2008) found that 77% of women in a domestic violence shelter experience anxiety compared to a national average of 6.1%.…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) affects all populations, regardless of race, education, or socioeconomic status, Black women are disproportionately affected (43.7 percent) compared to White women (34.6 percent). Although evidence indicates that faithbased organizations and clergy play key roles in preventing and responding to IPV among Black women, limited research has been conducted in this area, and most studies have focused on Black male clergy. Therefore, this transcendental phenomenological study explored the experiences and beliefs Black female clergy in various leadership positions and denominations (N=12) have regarding their role as responders to IPV among Black women. The study addressed two research questions: 1) "How do Black female church leaders perceive and describe their experience when responding to IPV against their Black female congregants? and 2) "What beliefs about IPV do Black female church leaders hold?" Each clergy leader participated in a face-to-face interview and afterward completed a demographic questionnaire. Data analysis followed the modified van. Kaam 7-step process. One overarching theme emerged, We Are Our Sister's Keeper, as well as three subthemes, Support Advocate, Spiritual Advisor, and Roadblocked Leader. The themes indicate that Black female clergy respond to the emotional and spiritual needs of Black women despite barriers from outside resources and limited support from the Black church. The themes also suggest that clergy lack knowledge and training for responding to IPV but that they are passionate about providing holistic, culturally centered care by bridging the gap between the church and the community to better serve Black women who have experienced IPV. Community-based interventions are needed to address barriers and disparities in access to services for women experiencing IPV. Findings suggest the importance of incorporating spiritual and emotional healing among this population when providing care and services. Research is needed to develop interventions, such as a faith-based toolkit, that enhance clergy leaders' ability to respond to IPV.

This scoping review aimed to identify the scope of the current literature on the prevalence, consequences, and risk factors of domestic violence (DV) against women by their husbands or male partners in North African and Middle Eastern countries. The methodology for this scoping review was based on the framework outlined by Arksey and O’Malley. Studies published on DV against women over the age of 15 by partner or husband and published in peer-reviewed scientific journals between January 1970 and April 2018 were included in the review. The databases MEDLINE, PsychINFO, CINAHL, HealthSTAR, EMBASE, Scopus, African Journals Online, Turkish Journal Database, and gray literature sources were searched. On completion of the review process, 151 full-text articles were identified for charting. This review demonstrated that women’s age, women’s education level, duration of marriage, history of childhood abuse/witnessing family violence, living in the rural region, and family income level were negatively associated with DV, indicating that younger women, women with lower education, a longer marriage duration, and a lower income level had a higher risk of exposure to DV in this region. Anxiety, depression/insomnia, and physical injury were the most common health problems reported by victims in the region. The highest proportion of women with no response to violence was reported in Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. The findings of this scoping review represent the first attempt to summarize the literature from North African and Middle Eastern countries and demonstrate the similarity in DV-related behaviors among women despite the cultural and regional diversity of the studies.
