Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a pervasive public health and human rights issue with complex social, economic, and health consequences. Although people of all genders and identities can experience IPV, women, particularly those who face intersecting forms of marginalization, bear a disproportionate burden. This chapter explores the multifaceted nature of IPV, emphasizing its roots in gender inequality and structural violence. Drawing on a trauma- and violence-informed care (TVIC) framework, the chapter outlines evidence-based nursing approaches that recognize the diverse impacts of IPV on survivors’ health and well-being. It examines key patterns of abuse, including coercive control and intimate terrorism, and highlights how structural factors, such as racism, poverty, and ableism, shape experiences of violence and access to support. The chapter identifies promising nursing interventions in a range of settings, including perinatal care and community health, with a particular focus on strategies that build capacities and foster trust, safety, control and well-being. Case examples and critical thinking activities support the application of key principles in nursing practice.

摘要

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a pervasive public health and human rights issue with complex social, economic, and health consequences. Although people of all genders and identities can experience IPV, women, particularly those who face intersecting forms of marginalization, bear a disproportionate burden. This chapter explores the multifaceted nature of IPV, emphasizing its roots in gender inequality and structural violence. Drawing on a trauma- and violence-informed care (TVIC) framework, the chapter outlines evidence-based nursing approaches that recognize the diverse impacts of IPV on survivors’ health and well-being. It examines key patterns of abuse, including coercive control and intimate terrorism, and highlights how structural factors, such as racism, poverty, and ableism, shape experiences of violence and access to support. The chapter identifies promising nursing interventions in a range of settings, including perinatal care and community health, with a particular focus on strategies that build capacities and foster trust, safety, control and well-being. Case examples and critical thinking activities support the application of key principles in nursing practice.
