  • Title: Intimate partner violence, women, and work: coping on the job.
    Author: Swanberg JE, Macke C, Logan TK.
    Journal: Violence Vict; 2006 Oct; 21(5):561-78. PubMed ID: 17022350.
    Abstract:
    Intimate partner violence is a significant health problem for women, with consequences extending to work as well as society at large. This article describes workplace interference tactics, how women cope with violence at work, and workplace supports for a sample of recently employed women with domestic violence orders (DVO; n = 518). Results indicate that violent partners used a wide range of work interference tactics, that women were more likely to tell someone at work about the victimization than they were to hide the information, and that coworkers and supervisors provided a range of supports to women who did disclose their situation. Implications for further research and practice are discussed.
