“…All findings are summarized below and in Tables 1 –4. Of the 13 quantitative studies, nine were descriptive cross-sectional (Bonomi et al, 2006; Cattaneo et al, 2008; Duterte et al, 2008; Ely & Murshid, 2017; Flicker et al, 2011; Kim & Hogge, 2015; Lucea et al, 2013; Ullman et al, 2006; Zweig & Burt, 2007) and four were descriptive prospective or cohort studies (Gilroy et al, 2015; Holt et al, 2003; Howard et al, 2003; McFarlane, Malecha, Watson et al, 2005). Seven of the quantitative studies assessed help-seeking behaviors in IPSV (Bonomi et al, 2006; Cattaneo et al, 2008; Duterte et al, 2008; Flicker et al, 2011; Holt et al, 2003; Howard et al, 2003; McFarlane, Malecha, Watson et al, 2005).…”

Five quantitative studies assessed for both help-seeking behaviors and barriers to care for IPSV (Gilroy et al, 2015; Kim & Hogge, 2015; Lucea et al, 2013; Ullman et al, 2006; Zweig & Burt, 2007). One quantitative study solely assessed barriers to care for IPSV (Ely & Murshid, 2017).…”

“…Six studies recruited women from a community dwelling sample (Alhusen et al, 2019; Cattaneo et al, 2008; Duterte et al, 2008; Flicker et al, 2011; Kim & Hogge, 2015; Nichols et al, 2018). Three studies recruited from both community dwelling samples and samples of women seeking services for IPV in legal, medical, or social domains (DeKeseredy & Schwartz, 2008; Gilroy et al, 2015; Zweig & Burt, 2007). Eight studies recruited help-seeking-only samples.…”

“…Two studies used researcher-constructed questions to assess for IPSV in relationships (Ely & Murshid, 2017; Howard et al, 2003). Seven studies used a single validated measure to identify IPSV (Bonomi et al, 2006; Duterte et al, 2008; Flicker at al., 2011; Gilroy et al, 2015; Holt et al, 2003; McFarlane, Malecha, Watson et al, 2005; Ullman et al, 2006). The measures included the Revised Conflict Tactic Scale (CTS2; Straus et al, 1996), the Severity of Violence Against Women Scale (SVAWS; Marshall, 1992), the Sexual Experiences Survey (Koss & Gidycz, 1985), questions adopted from the National Women’s Survey (Resnick et al, 1993), and the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (Thompson et al, 2006).…”

“…Among the quantitative studies that measured IPSV, six studies assessed IPSV co-occurring with physical IPV or psychological IPV (Cattaneo et al, 2008; Duterte et al, 2008; Flicker et al, 2011; Gilroy et al, 2015; Howard et al, 2003; Lucea et al, 2013). The remaining six studies assessed IPSV and other types of IPV (i.e., physical IPV, psychological IPV) separate from one another (Bonomi et al, 2006; Ely & Murshid, 2017; Holt et al, 2003; McFarlane, Malecha, Watson et al, 2005; Ullman et al, 2006; Zweig & Burt, 2007).…”

Help-Seeking and Barriers to Care in Intimate Partner Sexual Violence: A Systematic Review

Trauma, Violence, & Abuse

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Intimate partner sexual violence (IPSV) is a prevalent phenomenon, yet an under-researched topic. Due to the complex nature of balancing love and fear, individuals who experience IPSV have unique needs and face unique barriers to seeking care. The purpose of this systematic review was to examine the literature on help-seeking and barriers to care in IPSV. Articles were identified through PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Web of Science. Search terms included terms related to IPSV, intimate partner violence (IPV), domestic violence, sexual assault, and rape. The review was limited to the United States, and articles that were included needed to specifically measure or identify sexual violence in an intimate relationship and analyze or discuss IPSV in relation to help-seeking behaviors or barriers to care. Of the 17 articles included in this review, 13 were quantitative studies and four were qualitative studies. Various definitions and measurements of IPSV across studies included in this review make drawing broad conclusions challenging. Findings suggest that experiencing IPSV compared to experiencing nonsexual IPV (i.e., physical or psychological IPV) may increase help-seeking for medical, legal, and social services while decreasing help-seeking for informal support. Help-seeking can also reduce risk of future IPSV and decrease poor mental health outcomes. Barriers to seeking care in IPSV included social stigma, fear, and difficulty for individuals in identifying IPSV behaviors in their relationships as abuse. More inclusive research is needed among different populations including men, non-White individuals, nonheterosexual, and transgender individuals. Suggestions for research, practice, and policies are discussed.

Taking Advantage of a Window of Opportunity: Factors Associated With Jewish Bathhouse Attendants’ (Balaniyot) Assistance to Female Victims of Intimate Partner Violence

Victims of intimate partner violence may endure years of pain, fearing to turn for help. Informal service providers are potential sources of assistance. This study explored factors impacting two assistance outcomes provided by Jewish “balaniyot” (bathhouse attendants): actions aimed at protecting the woman, and actions aimed at protecting family integrity. Balaniyot ( n = 166) completed self-report questionnaires assessing mastery, organizational commitment, spirituality at work, and beliefs about violence. All variables were associated with at least one outcome. Organizational commitment mediated most of these associations. The findings suggest the need to increase balaniyot's organizational commitment and condemnation of violence and offer them specialized training.

Trauma, Violence, & Abuse

Longitudinal studies are critical to understanding health changes following trauma. The present systematic review adopted a longitudinal perspective on intimate partner abuse (IPA) by examining characteristics and findings of studies that followed persons who recently left an abusive relationship or who were at a point where they might leave and reported on health over time. Web of Science, EBSCO, Published International Literature on Traumatic Stress, and PubMed databases were searched using combinations of terms reflecting IPA, longitudinal study design, and health outcomes. Quantitative studies that recruited adults or adolescents, had multiple time points, used a health indicator as an outcome, and where IPA was a predictor, independent variable, or inclusion criterion were included. These methods yielded 36 studies from 20 unique samples. The following domains were coded for each article: citation, demographics, risk of bias, sample setting, design, follow-up, relationship and IPA characteristics, outcomes, and analytic focus. Results showed that all samples were female, and most were help-seeking. Depression, post-traumatic stress, and physical symptoms decreased over time, while quality of life increased in most studies. Changes in anxiety symptoms over time were less consistent. Ongoing IPA and social support were the most consistent predictors of health changes over time, showing relations with indicators of poorer or better health, respectively. There was preliminary evidence that decreases in emotional and physical symptoms plateaued within 9 months of the baseline assessment. Sampling, study design, measurement, and analysis are considered, and recommendations for future research are provided.
