摘要

Purpose

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of psychosocial interventions on the mental health of women who have experienced intimate partner violence (IPV).

Methods

A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines and registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022373705). Fourteen studies were included in the review, and thirteen were included in the meta-analysis. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2.0 tool. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4, and publication bias was assessed via funnel plots and Egger’s regression test.

Results

Psychosocial interventions significantly reduced depressive symptoms (effect size = -0.26; 95% confidence interval [CI] = -0.42, -0.10; p = .001; I2 = 48%) and anxiety symptoms (effect size = -0.23; 95% CI = -0.43, -0.02; p = .03; I2 = 0%). Greater effect sizes were observed in interventions that included cognitive components (effect size = -0.50; 95% CI = -0.87, -0.12), were delivered face-to-face (effect size = -0.33; 95% CI = -0.54, -0.11), in groups (effect size = -0.46; 95% CI = -0.76, -0.17), with more than eight sessions (effect size = -0.39; 95% CI = -0.59, -0.19), and across an eight-week period (effect size = -0.58; 95% CI = -0.90, -0.26).

Conclusions

Psychosocial interventions are effective in alleviating depressive and anxiety symptoms among IPV-exposed women. Programs that integrate cognitive elements and are delivered face-to-face in structured, group-based formats over multiple sessions demonstrate the most robust outcomes. These findings provide evidence to inform the design of effective psychosocial interventions for IPV survivors.
