“…Women with greater levels of feeling of loneliness/helplessness and self-esteem were more likely to subject to higher rates of certain types of IPV victimization, such as severe physical abuse and controlling behaviors. Although past studies have revealed certain psychological conditions associated with IPV victims such as depression and low self-esteem (Loke, Wan, & Hayter, 2012), our findings echo a line of research showing that IPV victims displayed comparable or no significant different levels of self-esteem with non-victims (e.g., see Soldevilla, Feixas, Varlotta, & Cirici, 2014). One may also suspect that women’s relative status and power balance with their spouse could mediate the relationship between self-esteem and IPV victimization.…”

Although a substantial number of studies have investigated factors that influenced intimate partner violence (IPV), very few have assessed the connection between the use of information and communication technology (ICT) and such violence. Using survey data collected from over 400 women in a large Chinese city, this study explored how the involvement of various ICT-related activities affects Chinese women’s experiences with psychological, physical, and sexual abuse. We found that some forms of media usage and online activities, such as times spent on paper books and Internet and browsing entertainment and sports news as well as watching movies and TVs online, were linked to a higher or lower likelihood of being a victim of IPV. Feelings of loneliness and helplessness were associated with more IPV victimization experiences. Married women were less likely to experience IPV, whereas working women were subject to greater IPV.

“…Clinical diagnoses were used in the two studies, which analyzed functional health problems (fibromyalgia and irritable bowel syndrome). The study of Soldevilla et al 20 concerning intimate partner violence also used a specific clinical interview. Since the same instrument and procedure were used to identify IDs in all of the studies, there was high homogeneity with regard to the evaluation process.…”

“…A review of the instruments applied in the different studies to assess symptom severity revealed that the most frequently used instrument was the Symptom Checklist 90-R , 21 which was used in five studies. Two studies used the general symptom index, 6 , 22 another two used the anxiety subscale, 20 and one study used the depression subscale. 23 Three studies 23 – 25 used the Beck Depression Inventory II Manual , second edition 26 and only one study 27 used the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory: Bibliography .…”

Recent research has highlighted the role of implicative dilemmas in a variety of clinical conditions. These dilemmas are a type of cognitive conflict, in which different aspects of the self are countered in such a way that a desired change in a personal dimension (eg, symptom improvement) may be hindered by the need of personal coherence in another dimension. The aim of this study was to summarize, using a meta-analytical approach, the evidence relating to the presence and the level of this conflict, as well as its relationship with well-being, in various clinical samples. A systematic review using multiple electronic databases found that out of 37 articles assessed for eligibility, nine fulfilled the inclusion criteria for meta-analysis. Random effects model was applied when computing mean effect sizes and testing for heterogeneity level. Statistically significant associations were observed between the clinical status and the presence of dilemmas, as well as level of conflict across several clinical conditions. Likewise, the level of conflict was associated with symptom severity. Results highlighted the clinical relevance and the transdiagnostic nature of implicative dilemmas.

“…Depending on the cycle of IPV, women indicate different levels of self‐esteem 16 . Low self‐esteem has been identified as a central outcome of IPV victimization that is correlated to adverse mental health disorders among women exposed to IPV 18 . Damaging women's self‐esteem is a mechanism used by perpetrators in the IPV victimization process 19 .…”

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.
