“…Group sessions have been found to increase selfawareness and a sense of empowerment, providing peer support to reinforce behavioral changes and, in this case, helping women to take decisions and reducing their feelings of guilt. This type of intervention also has a positive impact by strengthening informal social relationships among the women and thereby improving their emotional well-being (Alvarez et al, 2016;Marrs et al, 2021). These observations strongly support the value of informal support networks, which can sometimes be even more helpful than formal networks for post-IPV recovery (Goodman et al, 2003).…”

There is a need to improve psychological interventions in women experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV) and reduce its long-term sequelae. The objective of this qualitative study was to explore the needs of female IPV survivors, the support they receive, and their strategies for coping with this experience over the long term. During 2017, 53 female IPV survivors participated in the study, of whom 38 (71.7%) were recruited from women’s associations against gender violence from three Andalusia provinces (Southern Spain). In a semi-structured interview, the women responded to four open-ended questions about the effects of IPV on their life and how they coped with this situation. Four main themes were identified: (1) changes after the experience, (2) support during recovery, (3) perceived needs and obstacles, and (4) current situation. The survivors considered formal and informal social support to be critical to their recovery and emotional well-being. They also highlighted the need for continuity in support programs and for specialist interventions to address long-term psychological sequelae. These findings reinforce the need for psychological programs more tailored to the needs of these women.

“…IPV screening processes should include broad questions about self‐esteem, and its defining attributes, to help to identify IPV‐related health outcomes and refer women to needed healthcare services. Indeed, nurses could lead in the implementation of IPV empowerment and psychological interventions that focus on IPV‐related mental health outcomes and lowered self‐esteem 2,35,71,72 …”

Furthermore, limited knowledge exists about the precise meaning or description of self-esteem among women exposed to IPV.…”

Self‐esteem in the context of intimate partner violence: A concept analysis

AIM To explore the meaning of self‐esteem in the context of intimate partner violence (IPV). Background IPV is a preventable public health issue. The dynamic of IPV diminishes women's self‐esteem. Defining self‐esteem will guide the development of IPV interventions in healthcare settings. Design Walker and Avant's eight‐step approach was used. Data Source The search was conducted from Oxford Dictionary of English online, CINAHL, APA PsycInfo, PubMed, Women's Studies International, and Google Scholar. Review Methods No limits on the year of publication were applied. Results Defining attributes of self‐esteem are self‐concept, self‐affirmation, and self‐respect. Antecedents of self‐esteem are exposure to IPV and victim‐blaming attitudes by healthcare professionals. Consequences include depression, substance abuse, and posttraumatic stress disorder. Empirical referents include self‐worth, self‐competence, self‐blame, self‐evaluation, self‐confidence, and self‐determination. Conclusions Current literature is limited in its definition of self‐esteem in the context of IPV. Women experiencing IPV with low self‐esteem might not seek help for IPV from nurses. Nurses could develop culturally appropriate IPV screening tools that assess the changes in self‐esteem among women from different sociodemographic and cultural backgrounds. The defining attributes could contribute to developing comprehensive IPV screening tools in healthcare settings.

“…For example, Bonomi et al ( 2009 ) found that Latina IPV survivors have higher rates of poor physical and mental health than non-Latina IPV survivors. Therefore, service utilization is paramount to improve IPV survivors’ well-being and reduce re-victimization (Marrs Fuchsel and Brummett 2020 ; Trabold et al 2020 ). Nevertheless, Latinx individuals face multiple barriers to accessing services due to systemic oppression, forcing them to stay in violent relationships (Postmus et al 2014 ).…”

COVID-19 Pandemic and Intimate Partner Violence: an Analysis of Help-Seeking Messages in the Spanish-Speaking Media

The role of the Spanish-speaking media is crucial for how Latinx communities learn about seeking help when experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV). This study investigated the IPV help-seeking messages disseminated by the Spanish-speaking media in the U.S. during the COVID-19 pandemic. We engaged in an exploratory content analysis of videos from Univision’s main website, the most-watched Spanish-speaking media network in the U.S. We searched for videos related to IPV help-seeking posted from March 19–April 21, 2020—including the weeks after the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and the U.S. mandated a shelter-in-place. After assessing inclusion criteria, 29 videos were analyzed. Data were analyzed using basic content analysis to determine frequencies and inductive interpretive content analysis to code for help-seeking messages. We identified eight manifest messages related to seeking help when experiencing IPV in times of a crisis: (1) contact a professional resource; (2) contact law enforcement; (3) contact family, friends, and members of your community; (4) create a safety plan; (5) don’t be afraid, be strong; (6) leave the situation; (7) protect yourself at home; and (8) services are available despite the pandemic. We found that the manifest messages alluded to three latent messages: (1) it is your responsibility to change your circumstances; (2) you are in danger and in need of protection; and (3) you are not alone. IPV and media professionals should ensure a structural understanding of IPV in their help-seeking messages and avoid perpetrating stigmatizing and reductionist messages.
