  • Title: Intimate partner violence and psychological functioning in Latina women.
    Author: Hazen AL, Connelly CD, Soriano FI, Landsverk JA.
    Journal: Health Care Women Int; 2008 Mar; 29(3):282-99. PubMed ID: 18350428.
    Abstract:
    In this study, the researchers examined the associations among intimate partner violence and psychological functioning in 282 Latina women between 18 and 45 years. Participants were interviewed about demographic characteristics, experiences with physical, sexual, and psychological intimate partner violence, psychological symptoms, stressful life events, and childhood maltreatment. Physical violence was associated with symptoms of depression and hostility, and psychological abuse was related to depression, hostility, and somatization. Sexual violence was generally not associated with psychological functioning. The different types of intimate partner violence were not related to participants' self-esteem. Implications for interventions with Latina women are discussed.
