  • Title: Intimate partner violence victimization and parenting stress: assessing the mediating role of depressive symptoms.
    Author: Renner LM.
    Journal: Violence Against Women; 2009 Nov; 15(11):1380-401. PubMed ID: 19809099.
    Abstract:
    Guided by the spillover hypothesis and process model of parenting, this study examined relationships between intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization and parenting characteristics among a sample of 1,153 lower-income women. Hierarchical regression was used to investigate a mediational model examining women's self-reports of physical and psychological IPV, depressive symptoms, and parenting stress. Results suggest that depressive symptoms partially mediate the link between a mother's psychological IPV victimization and later self-reported parenting stress. Findings from this study highlight the importance of including maternal psychopathology and other stress and support variables when assessing parenting outcomes among women with histories of IPV.
