“…60 This may explain why women are often dissatisfied with the faith-based IPV resources they use. 61 However, in this study, associations with the use of spiritual resources were not contradictory; such use was inversely related to positive appraisal, but positively to both symptoms/dysfunction and readiness to change. Thus, women in violent relationships seek spiritual resources when experiencing high levels of symptomatology and dysfunction, lacking positive appraisals, and considering taking action.…”

“…It also is imperative that religious leaders educate their congregants about IPV and ways to be empathic, understanding, and helpful to members of their faith community whose lives have been touched by such violence (Bent-Goodley & Fowler, 2006). Moreover, shelter services should be designed in a fashion that meets the spiritual needs of the survivors' seeking refuge (Fowler, Faulkner, Learman, & Runnels, 2011).…”

Sequelae associated with intimate partner violence (IPV) include negative emotional, physical, and parenting outcomes. This study explored spiritual well-being as a potential mediator of the relations between IPV (physical and nonphysical abuse) and parenting stress scores in a sample of 152 low-income, African-American women. Path analytic models identified spiritual well-being as a mediator of the nonphysical (but not physical)-IPV parenting stress (three subscales) link. These findings suggest that spiritual well-being may be a protective factor against parenting stress for African-American women who experience nonphysical IPV, and an important target for culturally informed preventative interventions and treatment in this population.

“…In another study, Fowler et al (2011) examined differences between shelter and faith-based service utilisation and satisfaction in a sample of 73 women residing at a domestic violence shelter in central Texas, US. In the case of this study, focus was placed on spirituality, with religiosity being subsumed within the former.…”

In recent decades, more studies have emerged that examine the relationship between religion / spirituality, marital functioning and mental health. The scholarship on domestic violence (DV) / intimate partner violence (IPV) and religion does not appear to have integrated this evidence sufficiently and also lacks a multi-sectoral perspective. Ultimately, evidence from psychology and counselling needs to be bridged with evidence from public health and international development programming and studies in anthropology and sociology. A better integration could help to increase understanding of the multidimensional effects of religious parameters in the experience of DV / IPV and to identify how these effects could be leveraged resourcefully in faith-based interventions at community level and in psychosocial counselling involving victims, survivors and perpetrators in religious contexts. The current synthesis is the result of a systematic review that was conducted to start to bridge this multi-sectoral and multidisciplinary evidence to identify specifically: a) the influence of religious beliefs and experience on the rationalisations, behaviour and mental health of victims, survivors and perpetrators, and b) faith-based interventions in community and psychological counselling and their effectiveness. In pursuing these questions, we aimed to overcome the dominance of western definitions and paradigms of domestic violence or religion by combining evidence from sectors that are more international, such as public health and international development, and studies conducted in low-and middle-income societies that received less attention historically. We especially sought to distance ourselves from rigid understandings of ‘religion’ in an effort to make the review more relevant to diverse religious traditions and experiences.
