“…Individuals with OUD face numerous psychosocial vulnerabilities and barriers to receiving evidence-based treatments, including poverty, homelessness, lack of MOUD access, transportation, and stigma; violence and trauma likely interact and further amplify the negative impacts these barriers have on individuals' abilities to initiate, continue, and receive optimal health benefits from OUD treatment (Stone et al, 2021;Warshaw et al, 2014). Survivors and providers alike report desire for more robust integration of IPT prevention and intervention services into OUD treatment centers (Klaman et al, 2019(Klaman et al, , 2020Stone et al, 2021) as well as integration of OUD training into that for violence and trauma staff (Rothman et al, 2018). In order to move towards these goals, further investigations at the intersection of OUD and IPT are needed to highlight potential strategies to enhance engagement and retainment in MOUD treatment and ultimately optimize long-term health outcomes.…”

People with opioid use disorder (OUD) are vulnerable to negative health outcomes related to substance use and psychosocial issues, such as interpersonal trauma (IPT). Participants receiving buprenorphine completed a cross-sectional survey (July–September 2019). OUD outcomes were prospectively abstracted over a 28-week timeframe. More than a third reported recent IPT (40% women, 36% men). Sexual violence was more common among women than men ( p = .02). For women only, IPT was associated with substance use during follow-up (β = 20.72, 95% CI: 4.24, 37.21). It is important for public health strategies in the opioid crisis to address IPT using sex- and gender-informed approaches.

“…The model posits that personal and public behaviors are often impacted by a confluence of social interactions that can be categorized into five levels of influences: intrapersonal, interpersonal, community, organizational, and social [ 19 ]. As behavioral sciences evolve, many iterations of the model have been developed [ 24 ], largely rooted in the need to address the unique characteristics of individual research contexts (e.g., the influence of the pandemic [ 25 ]). In this study, we adapted the original social ecological model to better shed light on our research question.…”

Introduction: Domestic violence is a threat to human dignity and public health. Mounting evidence shows that domestic violence erodes personal and public health, spawning issues such as lifelong mental health challenges. To further compound the situation, COVID-19 and societies’ poor response to the pandemic have not only worsened the domestic violence crisis but also disrupted mental health services for domestic violence victims. While technology-based health solutions can overcome physical constraints posed by the pandemic and offer timely support to address domestic violence victims’ mental health issues, there is a dearth of research in the literature. To bridge the research gap, in this study, we aim to examine technology-based mental health solutions for domestic violence victims amid COVID-19. Methods: A literature review was conducted to examine solutions that domestic violence victims can utilize to safeguard and improve their mental health amid COVID-19. Databases including PubMed, PsycINFO, and Scopus were utilized for the literature search. The search was focused on four themes: domestic violence, mental health, technology-based interventions, and COVID-19. A reverse search of pertinent references was conducted in Google Scholar. The social ecological model was utilized to systematically structure the review findings. Results: The findings show that a wide array of technology-based solutions has been proposed to address mental health challenges faced by domestic violence victims amid COVID-19. However, none of these proposals is based on empirical evidence amid COVID-19. In terms of social and ecological levels of influence, most of the interventions were developed on the individual level, as opposed to the community level or social level, effectively placing the healthcare responsibility on the victims rather than government and health officials. Furthermore, most of the articles failed to address risks associated with utilizing technology-based interventions (e.g., privacy issues) or navigating the online environment (e.g., cyberstalking). Conclusion: Overall, our findings highlight the need for greater research endeavors on the research topic. Although technology-based interventions have great potential in resolving domestic violence victims’ mental health issues, risks associated with these health solutions should be comprehensively acknowledged and addressed.

“…Six studies identified the inability to reach healthcare services due to inadequate transport or geographical location (Dichter et al, 2021;Laughon, 2007;Moe, 2007;Robinson et al, 2021;Stone et al, 2021). For example, one participant was accepted to a service but stated, 'Because I don't drive, it was about going to their offices and things like that and a lot of the time it might be that they need to come out and do some things at home once the order is in' (Robinson et al, 2021).…”

“…Another relied on her partner to drive her to the appointment so he had control over whether she attended or not (Alhusen et al, 2020). A participant in Stone et al (2021) study exploring barriers to substance use treatments for women experiencing domestic and family violence in rural settings stated, 'He would take my shoes and all the baby's warm winter gear, so we couldn't leave […]. He would unplug the phone so I couldn't call nobody.…”

Affordability factors included lack of allocated time to address the complexity of domestic violence, lack of low-cost contraception, mental health support or rehabilitation programmes (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2022; Moe, 2007;O'Connor-Terry et al, 2022;Reeves & Humphreys, 2018;Stone et al, 2021).

Aims The aim of this study was to explore the social determinant factors and access to health care for women with lived experience of domestic and family violence. Design Qualitative synthesis. Data Sources A search of CINHAL, Embase, Medline and PubMed, was conducted between December 2021 and March 2022. Review Methods Primary qualitative studies published in English from 2000 to 2021 were included. Findings were thematically analysed using the Levesque et al. (2013) access to healthcare framework. Study design was assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme for qualitative research. Results Twenty‐eight studies were included. Findings related to the Levesque domains of approachability, appropriateness and availability of health services. Social determinants included perceived stigma and fear of discrimination leading to a lack of trust in healthcare professionals and fear of disclosure, which prohibits disclosure. Women reported their limited awareness of available support services, an absence of health professional screening and insufficient response when they disclosed presence of domestic and family violence, which collectively reduced their healthcare access. Conclusion Findings advance our understanding of how social determinant factors influence women's ability to access health care. The determinants related to discrimination and stigma, which prohibited the establishment of trust, were the most influential factors on access to care. Impact Women experiencing domestic and family violence are hesitant to disclose, and violence continues in secret. Social determinant factors of stigma and trust prohibit women's disclosure and therefore their access to health care. Findings hold implications for nurses' consciousness of these social determinant factors. Raising nurses' awareness to curiously question the presence of domestic and family violence may build trust that leads to disclosure and improves access to health care. No Patient or Public Contribution The authors intend to present the findings to people with lived experience in the next phase of this programme of research.
