Summary
Psychological intimate partner violence (P-IPV) is common in Hispanic women in South Florida. Strengthening personal and community resources can reduce P-IPV risk and mental health impacts.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Psychology
- Sociology
Background:
- Psychological intimate partner violence (P-IPV) poses significant risks to women's mental health.
- Hispanic women in South Florida face unique challenges regarding P-IPV and resource accessibility.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine the relationship between resource availability, P-IPV exposure, and depression among Hispanic women in South Florida.
- To identify factors associated with P-IPV and its correlation with depression in this demographic.
Main Methods:
- Secondary data analysis of baseline data from the SEPA III randomized controlled trial.
- Involved 320 cisgender, sexually active Hispanic women.
- Utilized descriptive analysis, logistic regression, and multiple regression models.
Main Results:
- Lower sexual relationship power and attending religious services were linked to increased odds of P-IPV.
- A history of P-IPV predicted higher depression scores.
- Higher depressive scores correlated with less education, increased ER visits, and reduced sexual relationship power.
Conclusions:
- P-IPV is highly prevalent among Hispanic women in South Florida.
- Personal and community resources can mitigate P-IPV risks and mental health consequences.
- Nurses play a crucial role in enhancing women's resources to prevent P-IPV exposure.
