“…Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a public health crisis that has catastrophic rippling effects on individuals, families, and communities [ 1 ]. IPV experiences include any physical or sexual violence, stalking, or psychological aggression (including coercive acts and controlling behavior) by a current or former intimate partner.…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a common concern among military Veterans that negatively impacts health. The United States’ Veterans Health Administration (VHA) has launched a national IPV Assistance Program (IPVAP) to provide comprehensive services to Veterans, their families and caregivers, and VHA employees who use or experience IPV. Grounded in a holistic, Veteran-centered psychosocial rehabilitation framework that guides all facets of the program, the IPVAP initiated the pilot implementation of a novel intervention called Recovering from IPV through Strengths and Empowerment (RISE). This evidence-based, person-centered, trauma-informed, and empowerment-oriented brief counseling intervention is designed to support those who experience IPV and to improve their psychosocial wellbeing. This program evaluation study describes clinical outcomes from patients who participated in a pilot implementation of RISE in routine care. We examined changes in general self-efficacy, depression, and valued living, as well as treatment satisfaction among patients who received RISE and completed program evaluation measures at VHA facilities during the pilot. Results from 45 patients (84% women) indicate that RISE was associated with significant pretreatment to posttreatment improvements in self-efficacy, depression, and valued living (Cohen’s d s of 0.97, 1.09, and 0.51, respectively). Patients reported high satisfaction with treatment. Though preliminary results were similar across gender and IPV types, findings from the evaluation of the pilot implementation of RISE demonstrate the intervention’s feasibility, acceptability, and clinical utility in routine VHA care and inform the scalability of RISE. Additionally, findings provide preliminary support for the effectiveness and acceptability of RISE with men. Modification to RISE and its implementation are discussed, which may be useful to other settings implementing IPV interventions.

“…Research attention has become firmly focused on determining how to measure the effectiveness of interventions to ascertain what is most helpful to women in supporting their recoveries [ 30 ]. Tools for evaluating intervention feasibility [ 31 , 32 ], and utilizing user-centered designs [ 33 , 34 ] are pertinent concerns. However, this work is only in its infancy [ 24 , 31 ] and knowledge development is hampered by the lack of relevant measurement tools and the lack of uniformity of outcome measures utilized across studies [ 34 , 35 , 36 ].…”

“…The GBV-Heal tool has included important dimensions of recovery—namely “trauma processing and self-advocacy, self-connection, relating to others, regaining hope and power” [ 52 ]. However, it does not include the following empirically derived dimensions of recovery—physical safety, financial independence and survival, stable housing, and parenting issues—which women continue to struggle with long after separation, particularly women on low-incomes [ 27 , 29 , 34 , 38 , 53 ]. For example, King and colleagues found financial issues to be a major and overlooked aspect of long-term recovery in their convenience sample of American women in long-term recovery ( n = 130) [ 40 ].…”

Long-Term Recovery from Intimate Partner Violence: Recovery and Hope

Recovery is a preferred outcome for assessing intervention effectiveness in the context of intimate partner violence (IPV), but measurement tools are in nascent form. It is therefore unclear what the recovery potential of survivors may be. A national online survey explored the self-rated recovery progress of Australian women (n = 1116), using visual analog scales (VAS) for recovery, hope, and other demographic variables. Findings show that many women rated themselves as completely recovered (14% of the eligible sample and 22% of the women who had left their partner > 10 years previously). However, most women experienced recovery as an ongoing process of healing (81%) and some women made little recovery progress (5%). Nevertheless, 77% of women who had separated >10 years ago rated their recovery as significant (scores of >70/100). Surprisingly, hope and recovery scores were only moderately correlated. This requires further investigation to determine what impacts on hope in long-term recovery, and how subjective and objective measures of hope and recovery vary in the context of IPV. The VAS was an efficient unidimensional measure for an online survey and is proposed for use in clinical and service contexts requiring subjective measures.

“…Intimate partner violence (IPV) is underreported and underdocumented, but it is the most common form of violence worldwide and makes a significant contribution to subsequent mental health problems . The Lancet Psychiatry Commission on IPV 1 sets out what we know and provides a road map for where we need to get to, particularly in secondary mental healthcare. Variation is notable by country (with national income level a significant factor), along with any minority status, but overall it's estimated that 27% of ever-partnered women will experience physical or sexual IPV in their lifetime, including almost a quarter of those aged 15–19 years.…”
