Intimate partner violence: a review of online interventions

Abstract: Violence against women (VAW) is a global social issue affecting health, social, and legal systems. VAW contributes to the inequities with respect to the social determinants of health that many women face today. The onus on self-care in the face of violence remains almost singularly with the victims. Access to information and services in support of women's health and safety is fundamental. However, research gaps exist regarding how women access health information across all stages of an abusive intimate relatio… Show more

“…Increasing access and availability of services, particularly a broad network of phone, chat, text, and video support and financial and housing support, is therefore paramount to meeting survivor needs during times of quarantine. Participants in this study gave virtual services mixed reviews- a result echoed in other research-(Al-Alosi 2020 ; Frazier and Yount 2017 ; Rempel et al 2019 ), indicating the importance of survivor choice, access and experience with these virtual platforms. Further staff training is needed on diverse platforms to meet survivor self-defined needs.…”

“…Similar to many previous intervention studies, an online computer-based experimental design was chosen because of the many advantages it provides, such as faster recruitment of participants, the potential for less biased samples and easy scalability of the interventions online if they are effective (Muñoz et al, 2016;Rempel et al, 2019;Spokesman et al, 2016).…”

“…It is therefore imperative to find ways to mitigate the risks associated with the use of ICT in order to enhance the safety of victims and promote their ability to access services online. Several strategies have been suggested: i) one of the major concerns to consider for technology-based interventions will be to attend the safety of victims, providing prevention practices with strategies and/or applications that enhance the protection of victims, such as password-protected sites, "quick exit" buttons on websites, particularly relevant when the victim still resides with the offender (Sorenson, Shi, Zhang, & Xue, 2014); ii) considering the importance that f2f victim support services have, the use of ICT in this area should constitute a complementary strategy to combat violence, thus being necessary to develop financing policies that can increase the type of response given by the services in order to also contemplate the online tools (Chayn & SafeLives, 2017); iii) increase e-literacy skills to minimize the risk of being subject to cyberviolence (e.g., as their awareness of online privacy settings, providing password protection information, locking and filtering software) (Rempel, Donelle, Hall, & Rodger, 2018), are extremely important. In line with this, it has been recommended that online or application-based interventions for VP, specifically IPV, should include the use of social messages to increase acceptance; address security and privacy issues in advance, carefully selecting the content and language used in awareness, and also include support and links to relevant services that can be used in due course (Tarzia et al, 2017).…”
