“…Previous studies from other countries also confirm that head injuries are a significant concern for women. Various types of head injuries can result in traumatic brain injury and neurological damage and disorganization (Deering, Templer, Keller & Canfiled, 2001;Muelleman, Lenaghan & Pakeser, 1996).…”

Consequences of Domestic Violence against Women: Some Reflections from Rural Bangladesh

The aim of this study was to explore the consequences of domestic violence against rural Bangladeshi women. Drawing on in-depth qualitative phenomenological interviews with 39 female victims of domestic violence from 8 rural settings of the Netrokona and Mymensingh districts, it was found that domestic violence not only causes serious consequences to the overall health and wellbeing of victims, it also causes negative impacts to their children and family members. For victims, consequences were physical, sexual, reproductive, psychological, and economic. For the children of the victims, consequences were mostly behavioral and psychological, while for family members of the victims, consequences were mainly economic and psychological. This study has significant academic implications because it could trace the consequences of domestic violence in a three dimensional manner. Based on empirical findings, this study proposes policy recommendations, such as campaigning against domestic violence and the proper implementation of laws related to domestic violence.

“…It is estimated that approximately 50% of women exposed to IPV suffer multiple brain injuries due to abuserelated head trauma (Valera, 2018;Valera & Berenbaum, 2003). Another study of individuals experiencing IPV reported on average >200 assaults with blows to the head per individual (Deering, Templer, Keller, & Canfield, 2001). However, this number only captures the incidents with at least one blow to the head and does not reflect the frequency of hits during a single assault, which is likely higher (Deering et al, 2001).…”

However, this number only captures the incidents with at least one blow to the head and does not reflect the frequency of hits during a single assault, which is likely higher (Deering et al, 2001). Thus, future research needs to account for the high likelihood of exposure to repetitive head trauma in this population.…”

Intimate partner violence includes psychological aggression, physical violence, sexual violence, and stalking from a current or former intimate partner. Past research suggests that exposure to intimate partner violence can impact cognitive and psychological functioning, as well as neurological outcomes. These seem to be compounded in those who suffer a brain injury as a result of trauma to the head, neck or body due to physical and/or sexual violence. However, our understanding of the neurobehavioral and neurobiological effects of head trauma in this population is limited due to factors including difficulty in accessing/recruiting participants, heterogeneity of samples, and premorbid and comorbid factors that impact outcomes. Thus, the goal of the Enhancing Neuroimaging and Genetics through Meta-Analysis (ENIGMA) Consortium Intimate Partner Violence Working Group is to develop a global collaboration that includes researchers, clinicians, and other key community stakeholders. Participation in the working group can include collecting harmonized data, providing data for meta-and mega-analysis across sites, or stakeholder insight on key clinical research questions, promoting safety, participant recruitment and referral to support services. Further, to facilitate the mega-analysis of data across sites within the working group, we provide suggestions for behavioral surveys, cognitive tests, neuroimaging parameters, and genetics that could be used by investigators in the early stages of study design. We anticipate that the harmonization of measures across sites within the working group prior to data collection could increase the statistical power in characterizing how intimate partner violence-related head trauma impacts long-term physical, cognitive, and psychological health.

“…Furthermore, it is novel in its inclusion of a diverse sample of women. To date, the majority of research on neuropsychological performance in IPV survivors has been conducted in North America (Aupperle et al, 2016;Deering et al, 2001;Hebenstreit et al, 2014;Muir et al, 2022;Raskin et al, 2023;Seedat et al, 2005;Stein et al, 2002;Twamley et al, 2009;Valera & Berenbaum, 2003;Valera & Kucyi, 2017;. To the best of our knowledge, only four studies have examined neuropsychological functioning among IPV survivors outside of this geographical region (Castro et al, 2022;Chung et al, 2014;Daugherty et al, 2019;Rodriguez & Guzmán Cortés, 2023), thus limiting the representativeness of our understanding of the potential impact of IPV on cognition in diverse samples.…”

A growing body of literature suggests that intimate partner violence (IPV) is linked topsychopathology and lower cognitive functionality. Nonetheless, few studies have examinedneuropsychological correlates using objective neuropsychological assessments. The mainobjective of this study was to assess the relationship between cognitive functioning (specificallymemory and attention) and IPV. A group of women IPV survivors (n = 37) and a group of womenwho had not experienced IPV (n = 23) were assessed using the Believe Battery, a comprehensiveneuropsychological battery adapted for women survivors of IPV. Findings demonstrated thatwomen who have suffered IPV present lower neuropsychological scores in the domains ofworking memory, verbal episodic memory, and attention compared to women who have notexperienced IPV. These results suggest that IPV may have an impact on neuropsychologicalfunctioning among women victims and survivors, thus raising an important question aboutimplications in clinical and forensic settings. Future studies should examine whether there areadditional differences in other cognitive domains and assess how such differences are relatedto the potential causal mechanisms of violence (e.g., strangulation, head injury, chronic stress).
