“…For some women, the experience of abuse seems to have provoked them to make changes and increase their awareness about their right to be respected as a dignified human being. The results in this study are consistent with previous national and international studies which emphasize the impact of abuse on the life of women and the effects of abuse on their continued adaptation and contribution to society [3,5,7].…”

“…The psychological and social consequences of abuse are multifaceted. The results of this study correspond in general with previous national and international studies showing that abused women suffer a number of mental health and psychosocial problems such as depression, anxiety and lack of social support [3,18]. In the present study more than half of the abused women reported a moderate to severe level of depression, and the majority of them reported having a low level of social support from their family.…”

This cross-sectional, descriptive, correlational study evaluated the mental health consequences of abuse among Jordanian women. Standard tools were used to collect data from 93 abused women seeking help at a welfare centre in relation to forms of abuse, depression, coping, suicidal ideation, substance use, social support and self-efficacy. The most commonly reported form of abuse was psychological abuse. Applying the Beck Depression Inventory showed that 38.7% of the abused women had moderate to severe levels of depression. Although half the women had a low level of perceived social support, abused Jordanian women reported moderate to very high levels of self-efficacy and used approach coping more frequently than avoidance coping strategies. Using the Modified Scale for Suicide Ideation, 15.7% of the women reported that the desire for death was stronger than the desire for life. Abused women in Jordan face mental health and psychosocial risks that could compromise their quality of life. Évaluation des conséquences psychosociales et mentales de la violence chez des femmes jordaniennesRÉSUMÉ La présente étude transversale, descriptive et corrélationnelle a évalué les conséquences de la violence sur la santé mentale de femmes jordaniennes. Des outils standards ont été utilisés pour recueillir des données auprès de 93 femmes ayant subi des violences et demandant de l'aide dans un centre de protection familiale. Ces données concernaient les types de violence, la dépression, les difficultés d'adaptation, les pensées suicidaires, la consommation de substances psychoactives, la recherche d'un appui social et le sentiment d'efficacité personnelle. Les violences les plus fréquemment rapportées étaient d'ordre psychologique. L'inventaire de la dépression de Beck a permis de révéler que 38,7 % des femmes victimes de violences souffraient de dépression d'une intensité modérée à sévère. Même si la moitié des femmes avait le sentiment de recevoir un soutien social faible, les femmes jordaniennes avaient des niveaux modérés à très élevés d'efficacité personnelle et avaient plus souvent recours à des stratégies de confrontation que d'évitement. Selon les résultats sur l'échelle MSSI Modified Scale for Suicide Ideation, le désir de mourir était plus fort que le désir de vivre chez 15,7 % des répondantes. Les femmes ayant subi des violences en Jordanie encourent des risques psychosociaux et de dégradation de leur santé mentale et ces risques pourraient altérer leur qualité de vie.

HTA NIHR Health Technology Assessment ProgrammeT he Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care. The research findings from the HTA Programme directly influence decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC). HTA findings also help to improve the quality of clinical practice in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service'. The HTA Programme is needs led in that it fills gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. There are three routes to the start of projects. First is the commissioned route. Suggestions for research are actively sought from people working in the NHS, from the public and consumer groups and from professional bodies such as royal colleges and NHS trusts. Th...

“…Although specific client factors were not examined in this study, some of these attributes are characteristic of the women typically seeking counseling and shelter services. For example, previous researchers studying samples of women in shelters have suggested that white women in their early 30's, in long-term married or cohabiting relationships, with 1-2 children, who have left their abusive partners at least one previous time are those most commonly seeking services (Clevenger & Roe-Sepowitz, 2009;Constantino, Kim, & Crane, 2005;Lundy & Grossman, 2009;Gordon, Burton, & Porter, 2004;Harding & Helweg-Larsen, 2009;Simmons, Lehmann, & Collier-Tenison, 2008).…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a social problem that affects roughly 5.3 million women in the U.S. each year, accounts for 1,300 deaths, and often results in a number of physical and mental health consequences. Many women seek counseling as a way to find relief from the symptoms of the abuse they have endured.Unfortunately, women often find the available resources to be inadequate or worse, damaging. Misdiagnosis, non-violent re-victimization, and even blame are
