“…Women were offered a participation fee of $35 for each session completed and reimbursed for childcare and transportation costs. A detailed safety protocol was used to guide all interactions between women and the research team (Ford-Gilboe et al, 2008). In this analysis, we used data from two summated rating scales and selected demographic questions (e.g., age, education, employment status, duration of abuse).…”

“…In a recent study, Ford-Gilboe et al (2009) crosssectionally examined whether the relationship between severity of abuse and mental health was mediated by access to personal (women's knowledge, skills, beliefs, and behaviors), social (emotional and tangible support, social conflict), and economic (financial strain) resources and constraints. Severity of IPV significantly related to a reduction in economic resources, which mediated the relationship between abuse and mental health.…”

This study examined the impact of resource constraints on the psychological well-being of survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV), testing whether resource constraints is one mechanism that partially mediates the relationship between IPV and women's well-being. Although within-woman changes in resource constraints did not mediate the relationship between change in physical abuse and change in well-being, change in resource constraints fully explained the relationship between change in psychological abuse and change in psychological well-being over time. Survivors' resource constraints were fully responsible for the significant mental health consequences that women experienced after psychological abuse. Between-women differences in initial resource constraints were also examined; however, they did not mediate the relationship between women's earlier experiences of abuse and change in their well-being over time. Implications for future research and practice are discussed. C 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Intimate partner violence (IPV) is among the most serious of social problems that affect women's lives in the United States today. It is estimated that 1.5 million women suffer the devastating consequences of IPV each year (Tjaden & Thoennes, 2000). The implications of IPV are significant and extensive and, for most women, extend far beyond physical injuries. Abuse also has substantial negative implications for survivors' psychological well-being (Campbell, 2002).

“…A more recent study also used the Resilience Scale and reported similar findings for mental, but not physical, health status. This larger Canadian study (Ford-Gilboe et al, 2009) of resilience using the Resilience Scale included 309 English-speaking women who had experienced intimate partner violence in the 3 years prior and who were no longer living with their abusive partners. Using structural equation modeling, this study examined resilience in the context of two other types of resources (support, economic) in predicting the direct and indirect effects of intimate partner violence (IPV) on women's mental and physical health.…”

What do we know about resilience in crime victimization? In this article, the authors discuss resilience defined as protective factors (e.g., personality characteristics, biological characteristics, social and cultural factors, and community characteristics); as a process of adaptation (e.g., self-enhancement, positive cognitive appraisals, coping styles, and spirituality), including an iterative perspective on resilience as a cascade of protective processes; and as positive outcomes (e.g., lack of symptoms) following exposure to adverse events. Within each of these definitional frameworks, they consider general conceptual issues pertaining to resilience and then the small body of research that has focused specifically on resilience and some type of crime victimization. Research and clinical implications are discussed.
