“…The findings were too cumbersome to report together; thus, they have been split into separate manuscripts with foci on cultural barriers and intrapersonal processes, respectively. A discussion of findings regarding the intrapersonal processes of leaving an abusive marriage can be found in Kern ().…”

This narrative study features 8 women who shared their stories of systemic barriers faced in the process of leaving an abusive military marriage. The themes of power and control, protection of the service member, entitlement, infallibility, safe places are not safe, and cultural ideals of loyalty are presented and emphasized with excerpts from the women's narratives. Implications are identified for counselors in the roles of practitioner and advocate, along with suggestions of future directions for research.

“…The third category refers to perpetrators’ behaviors of restricting victims’ physical movement and particular restricting victims from leaving the house (Karakurt & Silver, 2013; Kyriakakis et al, 2012). In addition, perpetrators often isolated victims from their acquaintances using various tactics (the fourth category) including humiliating or insulting victims in public and trying to turn others against the victim (Kern, 2017; Zarza & Adler, 2008). Finally, the fifth category involved perpetrators’ attempts to keep victims from building new social relationships (Lee, 2018).…”

Belongingness is a basic human need. The violation of this need has been described in numerous studies on intimate partner violence (IPV). However, it has not been conceptually defined. Therefore, this study aimed to develop and analyze the concept of social abuse in intimate partner relationships. A hybrid model of concept analysis was used for this study consisting of three phases: theoretical, fieldwork, and analytic. In the theoretical phase, a systematic literature review was performed to obtain a working definition of social abuse. In total, 20 articles that met the inclusion criteria were included in the analysis. The findings from the theoretical phase were refined and confirmed by qualitative data collected from the fieldwork phase. In the analytical phase, four attributes of social abuse emerged: cutting off the victim’s social relations, limiting the victim’s social engagement, interfering with the victim’s social relations, and closely watching the victim’s social interactions. Possessiveness, escalating suspicion, allegations of infidelity, and fear that the victim will leave were identified as antecedents of social abuse in perpetrators. Additionally, the experience of social abuse had negative consequences on victims’ social relationships, mental health, and help-seeking behaviors. This study extends the theoretical framework of IPV and implies a strong need to educate victims and their social acquaintances on social abuse.

“…Intimate partner violence remains an under-recognized health issue within military populations in most regions (Kwan et al, 2020;Sparrow et al, 2017). The military is characterised by structures that are dominated by values such as formality, ranks, leadership, loyalty, and camaraderie (Kwan et al, 2018;Kern, 2017;Sparrow et al, 2017). These values are placed on masculine ideals, encouraging notions of dominance, aggression, and risk-taking (Kern, 2017;Carroll et al, 2016;McCloskey et al, 2016).…”

“…It has been estimated that about 30% of ever-partnered women have experienced or will suffer from IPV at some point in their lifetime (United Nations Women, 2019; WHO, 2017). This could either be in form of physical assault, sexual assault, or emotional abuse, which peaks during the reproductive years and has been observed in both developed and developing countries (WHO, 2021;2017). Although both sexes can perpetrate or be victims of IPV, women experience the overwhelming burden (WHO, 2021; Pathak et al, 2019).…”

Health Challenges Encountered by Spouses of the Selected Defense and Security Wing Personnel Experiencing Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) in Lusaka, Zambia: An Interpretive Phenomenological Study

Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a complex and emotionally charged subject that is usually considered a private matter. Apparently, both sexes can perpetrate or be victims of IPV. Globally, more women are murdered by their intimate partners compared to men. IPV is also a widespread phenomenon in Africa where the associated health challenges can be particularly serious due to fragile healthcare systems. On the global ratings, IPV remains the oldest prominent societal challenge in the sub-Saharan region, South Asia, and Latin America. Noticeably, IPV is more prevalent among military than civilian populations. The effects of IPV include physical injuries, sexually transmitted infections, pelvic inflammatory diseases, urinary tract infections, unwanted pregnancies, pregnancy complications and mental health problems. Nevertheless, there is very little understanding of the health challenges encountered by spouses of military personnel in the Zambia National Service (ZNS).
