“…Physical injury has been documented following intimate partner violence (IPV) in epidemiological surveys (Stets & Straus, 1990;Weaver, Kilpatrick, Resnick, Best, & Saunders, 1997), outpatient treatment-seeking samples (Cantos, Neidig, & O'Leary, 1994), emergency medical samples (Adlakha & Lobl, 1993), and primary care and/or obstetrical samples (Helton, McFarlane, & Anderson, 1987). In addition to the implications of injury for women's physical health functioning, injury has also been associated with emotional sequelae of trauma, including PTSD and depression (Fauerbach et al, 2000;Kilpatrick et al, 1989).…”

Battered women are exposed to multiple forms of intimate partner abuse. This article explores the independent contributions of physical violence, sexual coercion, psychological abuse, and stalking on symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression among a sample of 413 severely battered, help-seeking women. The authors test the unique effects of psychological abuse and stalking on mental health outcomes, after controlling for physical violence, injuries, and sexual coercion. Mean scores for the sample fall into the moderate to severe range for PTSD and within the moderate category for depression scores. Hierarchical regressions test the unique effects of stalking and psychological abuse, after controlling for physical violence, injuries, and sexual coercion. Psychological abuse and stalking contribute uniquely to the prediction of PTSD and depression symptoms, even after controlling for the effects of physical violence, injuries, and sexual coercion. Results highlight the importance of examining multiple dimensions of intimate partner abuse.

“…Annually, more than 500,000 of these injured female victims receive medical treatment for their injuries (Tjaden & Thoennes, 2000). To date, research has focused on documenting and cataloguing intimate partner violence (IPV)-related injury utilizing different healthcare samples (Adlakha & Lobl, 1993;Cantos, Neidig, & O'Leary, 1994; Council on Scientific Affairs, American Medical Association, 1992; Helton, McFarlane, & Anderson, 1987;Muelleman, Lenaghan, & Pakieser, 1996).…”

One third of women who experience intimate partner violence (IPV) receive some form of injury. After acute injuries have healed, a victim's physical appearance may be altered with residual changes including marks or scars. This study included 56 female victims of IPV (31 with appearance-related residual injury and a comparison group of 25 with no appearance-related residual injury) and examined the associations between violence-related experiences, body image distress, and symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Appearance-related residual injury status moderated the relationship between body image distress and symptoms of PTSD. In addition, within the appearance-related residual injury group, body image distress emerged a unique predictor of PTSD explaining incremental variance beyond that explained by severity of psychological maltreatment.
