摘要

Purpose

Few studies have examined the relationship between IPV victimization and mental health outcomes and the moderating role of ACEs in this relationship among Jamaican women. Using trauma theory to undergird this study, we examined the relationship between physical IPV victimization and depressive symptoms and anxiety while accounting for the moderating effects of ACEs on these relationships among Jamaican women.

Methods

Univariate and ordinary least squares regression (OLS) analyses were performed using data from the 2016 National Women’s Health Survey, a nationally representative sample of Jamaican women aged 15 to 64.

Results

Experience of physical IPV victimization was found to be a significant predictor of depressive symptoms and anxiety. Similarly, ACEs significantly moderated the relationship between IPV victimization and depressive symptoms and anxiety.

Conclusion

The findings highlight the need for additional research related to the impact of IPV victimization, ACEs, and subsequent mental health outcomes using more diverse samples and methodological approaches. Trauma-informed prevention and treatment modalities should be developed and implemented to address the impact of IPV victimization and negative mental and behavioral outcomes among Jamaican women.
