Children who experience trauma due to exposure to domestic violence are at risk of both physical and emotional harm and may exhibit symptoms of trauma that impact their functioning. This raises questions regarding the number of children who do exhibit symptoms and whether child protection workers document these symptoms during the post-investigative stage of service delivery. The present study examines the documentation of child symptoms in a review of 70 files in which children were receiving ongoing child welfare services due to exposure to domestic violence. The results of the file review indicate that children who have been exposed to domestic violence continue to exhibit symptoms during the post-investigative stage. However, there were very few cases in which the child protection worker attributed these symptoms to the trauma the child experienced. Practice implications, including the need for increased training for both trauma and assessment, are discussed.
L'exposition des enfants à la violence conjugale constitue une forme de mauvais traitement psychologique, dont certaines manifestations sont reconnues dans les typologies de la maltraitance physique et émotionnel. De plus, ces mêmes enfants évoluent dans un climat violent qui leur occasionne des symptômes reliés au trauma ayant un impact sur leur fonctionnement. Nous nous sommes intéressés à savoir si l'intervenant qui mène une évaluation en protection de la jeunesse tient compte de ces symptômes à la conclusion de son enquête et fait le lien au trauma. Cette recherche dépouille au-delà de 70 dossiers d'enfants exposés à la violence conjugale et passe en revue la documentation des intervenants cherchant spécifiquement la notation des symptômes et le trauma. La recherche conclut en soulignant d'abord que le trauma persiste chez les enfants suivant une exposition à la violence conjugale et qu'il s'avère souvent difficile pour l'intervenant de reconnaître le lien entre les symptômes manifestés et le trauma. Des pistes d'intervention, incluant la nécessité d'une formation plus approfondie au niveau de l'impact du trauma et de l'évaluation sont également discutées.

La exposición a violencia doméstica es un problema actual y complejo con consecuencias negativas en la salud mental de los niños. Objetivo: responder a las siguientes cuestiones sobre los efectos de la exposición a violencia doméstica en la salud mental de los niños: a) qué debe ser evaluado; b) qué tipo de psicopatología tienen los niños que acuden a centros de salud mental y han estado expuestos a violencia doméstica; c) qué características de la situación de violencia son más importantes a la hora de predecir psicopatología en los niños; y d) qué rol tienen los estilos parentales del padre y de la madre en situaciones de violencia doméstica. Método: se usó un diseño de cohortes retrospectivo; una cohorte estaba formada por madres que consultaban un centro público para mujeres maltratadas y sus hijos, y otra cohorte formada por mujeres no maltratadas y sus hijos. Se aplicaron entrevistas diagnósticas, cuestionarios y auto-registros completados por las madres y sus hijos con el objetivo de valorar el funcionamiento de los niños, psicopatología, variables individuales y familiares. El análisis estadístico incluyó regresiones logísticas, ANOVAs, modelos de ecuaciones estructurales, y ecuaciones generalizadas de estimación. Resultados: Se propone un protocolo de evaluación para niños expuestos a violencia doméstica. Niños que acuden a centros de salud mental y han estado expuestos a violencia doméstica muestran necesidades específicas diferentes a aquellos niños que acuden a consulta pero no han estado expuestos a ello, en relación a la psicopatología, el deterioro funcional, y variables familiares e individuales. Las diferentes características de la violencia doméstica, como el tipo de violencia sufrido por la madre, la proximidad del niño a esta violencia, o las características del agresor, afectan de manera diferencial en la psicopatología del niño y su funcionamiento. Los estilos educativos de la madre median en los efectos de la violencia psicológica hacia la mujer en la psicopatología y funcionamiento del niño, mientras que los estilos educativos del padre no moderan este efecto. Conclusiones: Se deben llevar a cabo esfuerzos para detectar e intervenir en las situaciones de exposición a violencia doméstica para mejorar el bienestar de estos niños.
Exposure to domestic violence is a current, complex concern with negative aftermath on the child's mental health. Aim: to answer the following questions about the effects that this exposure has on children's mental health: a) what should be assessed; b) what kind of psychopathology do outpatient exposed children have; c) which characteristics of the situation are more influential; and d) what is the role of parenting styles. Method: A retrospective cohort design was used; one cohort was formed by battered mothers attending to a special center for battered women and their children, and the other was formed by non-battered women and non-exposed children. Diagnostic interviews, self-reports and questionnaires were applied to mothers and children in order to assess child's functioning, psychopathology, individual and family variables. Logistic regression, ANOVAs, structural equation models, and generalized estimating equations were used for the statistical analysis. Results: An assessment schedule for children exposed to domestic violence is suggested. Outpatient children exposed to domestic violence had specific needs compared with non-exposed outpatients, regarding psychopathology, functional impairment, family and individual variables. Characteristics of the violence, as the type of violence against the mother or the child, the degree of involvement of the child, or the aggressor's characteristics, affected differentially on the child's psychopathology and functioning. Maternal parenting mediated the effects of psychological abuse against the mother on the child's wellbeing, whereas father's parenting did not moderate these effects. Conclusions: Efforts in order to detect and intervene in domestic violence situations should be made in order to improve the child's well-being.

Violence towards healthcare staff is increasingly prevalent in today's NHS. The aim of this thesis was twofold: to establish the current state of research into this problem; and to contribute to the theoretical understanding of one of the common outcomes of this phenomenon: posttraumatic stress disorder. The literature review assessed research relating to the incidence, prevalence and effects of workplace violence (WPV), focussing on healthcare settings. Studies indicate a range of effects on victims including physical injury, behaviour changes and psychological symptoms, although methodological problems exist with this research. Also lacking is an over-arching psychological framework to account for the full effects of WPV. Models accounting for PTSD are described and drawn upon to outline psychological methods necessary to develop such a framework. In the current study, psychological response variables were investigated for their involvement in the development of persistent symptoms of PTSD in 99 NHS staff exposed to violence at work. Factors associated with PTSD symptoms at four months post-trauma included: disorganised memory, data-driven processing, state dissociation, self referent processing, appraisal of PTSD symptoms, trait dissociation and avoidant behaviour. All these factors accounted for significant variance in PTSD symptoms after controlling for pre-trauma and stressor severity factors. A risk index consisting of `educational qualification', `trait dissociation' and 'avoidant behaviour', measured two months post-trauma, discriminated individuals with persistent symptoms at four months post-trauma from those without. This enabled better than chance predictions to be made. Further validation is required. Clinical implications are discussed.

This degree project is a systematic literature review. The aim of this study is to find out what the consequences can be for teachers who are being exposed to student-related violence in their workplace. This is because previous research has shown that there are knowledge gaps regarding this. Furthermore, the aim of this study is to find out whether the consequences for the teachers can vary depending on whether they are exposed to physical or psychological violence by students. The focus will be on teachers in the teaching grade between 1st grade in primary school and the last year of high school. In this systematic literature study, violence between students’ parents and teachers have been excluded. Both qualitative and quantitative studies have been included as a basis. Result showed that consequences for the teachers, which can follow from student-related violence against teachers, include emotional impact, impact on job performance, teacher turnover and reduced confidence in school management. Result also showed that teachers experience similar consequences regardless of whether they are exposed to physical or psychological violence. Future research should focus on the health economic impact in society regarding different consequences experienced by teachers who are exposed to student-related violence, and on both physical and psychological violence when developing better preventive measures.

The level of crime in South Africa as reflected by crime statistics affects a high number of adolescents. Trauma and stress associated with interpersonal violence can adversely affect the neurobiology of the individual, since social, emotional and cognitive influences interact in multifaceted ways with neurobiological systems to affect every-day adaptive functioning. This study was embarked upon to determine the difference in the expression of personality between adolescents exposed to community related interpersonal violence and those not exposed to such violence. The 183 research participants were selected from a group of 335 grade 12 learners from a single secondary school in a middle class community. The participants were placed into two sample groups by means of purposive sampling as follows: Sample 1 consisted of all the research participants that reported exposure to community related interpersonal violence during the past 5 years on the self-reporting questionnaire (n = 93). The research participants that did not report exposure to such violence formed Sample 2 (n = 90). Reflecting on the adolescent’s emotional, adaptive functioning and referring to high levels of anxiety and feelings of worthlessness, certain factors of the 16PF questionnaire were predicted to show a statistical significant difference after exposure to community related interpersonal violence after a period of 3 to 5 years. To assess the differences in personality profiles of adolescents exposed to community related interpersonal violence and those not exposed to violence, a MANOVA was used in analysing 16PF results. There were statistically significant differences between the two groups on Factor G (rule consciousness), Factor I (emotional sensitivity) and Factor Q4 (anxiety). This indicated that adolescents exposed to incidents of community related interpersonal violence are inclined to experience more tension, are emotional volatile, depressed and anxious. They tend to be more sensitive to environmental stressors and are likely to give up easily. The group exposed to interpersonal violence (Sample 1) experienced higher levels of PTSD as assessed with the PSD Questionnaire than the group that was not exposed to interpersonal violence (sample 2). The personality profiles of three groups (Sample 1 with high PTSD, Sample 1 with low PTSD and Sample 2) were compared by means of a MANOVA to test whether adolescents who experience high levels of PTSD express their personality different from others. The results identify differences in the expression of personality between adolescents of Sample 1 experiencing higher levels of PTSD and the adolescents who did not experience community related interpersonal violence (sample 2) on Factors G- (Selfindulgent and disregards obligations to people), I + ( Perception might be emotionally influenced) and Q4 + (Elevated levels of anxiety). The coping style (positive or negative coping) of adolescents exposed to community related interpersonal violence was assessed using the Kidcope. This was done to examine the possible influence of coping on the development of posttraumatic stress and differences in the expression of personality. There were no correlations between positive and negative coping and the level of PTSD symptoms and the 16PF. The research could therefore not identify coping as a medicating variable in the development of PTSD and differences in the expression of personality. However, research is required to evaluate coping closer to the time of the actual event. The results of this research are a clear indication that the experience of community-related violence has serious implications for the well-being and development of the personality of adolescents. Violence-exposed adolescents may experience symptoms characteristic of PTSD, including significant difficulty regulating one’s emotions and behaviour impacting on their social, cognitive, physiological and emotional functioning. The original target group for this study was the middle class income population and suburb with relatively good security. The sample was drawn from a typical middleclass environment and adolescents from communities with less protection may present different results if sampled for similar research.

Exposure to parental intimate partner violence (IPV) has been shown to be negatively correlated with children’s behavioral, social, emotional, cognitive, and physical outcomes. Yet, research studying the impact of IPV exposure on students’ academic performance is scarce, and the findings from the limited literature do not converge. This study aimed to examine the relationship between exposure to IPV and academic performance, and whether parental academic involvement and school support will combat the negative academic outcomes of children exposed to IPV. Results indicated that exposure to IPV was not associated with academic performance, and parental academic involvement and school support were not protective factors. However, it revealed a complex relationship between exposure to IPV, parental academic involvement, and school support that warrants further investigation by future studies. Understanding the influences that home interactions may have on students’ school functioning can be helpful in creating supportive interventions to support at-risk students.

Little is known about the effectiveness of non-stigmatizing mental health interventions aimed at reducing or preventing the harmful impact of armed conflict on children, and how war affects the mental health of both non-resettled and resettled minors. This thesis presents, through a literature review, what is known about school-based interventions for minors living in war-exposed countries. Second, it investigates by an empirical study, how exposure to trauma is associated with increased risk for psychological symptoms in recently arrived migrant adolescents to Canada. Existing evidence for school-based programs as a means to reduce distress is promising. In general, recently resettled migrant youth may not be at risk. However, exposure to pre-migratory trauma predicts more emotional problems. Assessing how exposure to adverse events in the pre-migratory phase may be related to psychological adjustment immediately following resettlement may identify the needs of recently arrived migrant children and inform the design of school-based programmes.
Peu est connu sur l'efficacité de la non-stigmatisation des interventions de santé mentale visant à réduire ou prévenir les effets néfastes des conflits armés sur les enfants, et comment la guerre affecte la santé mentale des mineurs non-réinstallés et réinstallés. L'objectif de cette thèse est, dans un premier temps, d'établir au travers d'une étude bibliographique, les données existantes concernant les programmes de prévention en milieu scolaire pour les mineurs vivant dans des zones de conflit. Dans un deuxième temps, une étude empirique viendra analyser les répercussions de l'expérience du traumatisme quant à l'apparition de troubles psychologiques sur les adolescents migrants récemment arrivés au Canada. La littérature existante met en exergue le caractère prometteur des programmes de prévention en milieu scolaire, en montrant, que dans bien des cas, ils constituent un élément d'apaisement. De manière générale, les jeunes migrants nouvellement établis ne forment pas une population à risque. Cependant, le fait d'être confronté à un traumatisme prédispose à davantage de problèmes émotionnels. Déterminer la manière dont l'exposition à des événements éprouvants, dans la phase précédant la migration, peut engendrer des ajustements psychologiques immédiatement après l'installation, pourrait permettre d'identifier les besoins des enfants migrants nouvellement arrivés. Cela permettrait également de développer des programmes appropriés au milieu scolaire.

This study explored the multiple contexts of violence in the lives of female adolescents exposed to domestic violence. The research was guided by ecological, critical and postmodern feminist perspectives. Ecological theory embeds individual and familial experiences within the broader social and historical contexts. Critical theory questions often held assumptions and issues of power. Postmodern feminism extended this theoretical lens into a socio-political context that used gender, race, class, and marginalization as central lenses. This perspective emphasized the importance of context, processes, and the subjective experiences of girls. Qualitative methods and a constructivist epistemology were used to understand the experiences of six female adolescents, between 14 and 19 whose mothers had experienced domestic violence. I explored how participants reflected on and made sense of their exposure to violence in their families, the multiple contexts of violence to which they were exposed, and the protective factors they had or employed. Four interviews were conducted with each participant, totaling 24 interviews. Poetry was used to gain trust and begin the process of sharing intrapersonal feelings, to externalize thoughts and expressions, and share lived experiences. Two mothers completed lengthy questionnaires. Participants were recruited through an insider's knowledge of multiple agencies, and using snowballing. No participants ever resided in a domestic violence shelter. This study contributed to our understanding of the lives of adolescent females exposed to domestic violence by elucidating the complexity of the experiences of participants and their families. It reminded us of the contextual importance of describing violence and the ever-changing experience of children exposed to domestic violence. Children learned to cope in multiple ways, but felt alone and powerless. Systems developed to assist youth and families were unable to intervene in a meaningful way, thus extending the feelings of abandonment and powerlessness. Children learned to hide from their feelings and put on a mask to the world. This mask hid the child safely beneath, and ultimately served to distance her from the realities in her midst. But, at what expense? I discuss findings in terms of current resilience theory and provide suggestions for future research and intervention based on these findings.

Violence-exposed children are unintended victims, often an unseen and overlooked victim group in society. It is a societal responsibility that all victims are realized and supported. Through describing the perspective of professionals meeting these children, their status and opportunities in society and legal system can be investigated. To study professionals’ experiences, conceptions, and knowledge about violence-exposed children, a questionnaire was distributed to 63 professionals, representing police, prosecutors, social- and treatment personnel. Qualitative questions about experiences and knowledge were analysed thematically. Additional quantitative statements of held conceptions were analysed with t-tests and regression methods. Findings revealed these children are still overlooked; psychological knowledge about their symptoms, testimonies, and perspective is lacking; professional routines/guidelines are missing; and problems such as children’s legal status as non-victims are hindering effective work to guarantee these children’s care. Results provide information facilitating necessary changes to ensure this group of psychologically abused victims’ recovery and societal rights.

There is an increasing interest in the life outcomes of youth that are exposed to community violence. Previous research has found that community violence has a direct effect on youth development. It has also shown that there are economic costs for communities that have high levels of community violence. Thus far, the literature on youth in these areas has focused on protective factors such as school connectedness, family connectedness, religion and positive life outcomes. There is little research on the affects of mentoring on life outcomes for individuals that were exposed to community violence during adolescence. This study explores mentoring as a mediating variable that promotes positive life outcomes by analyzing data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health studies. A nested multiple regression model was used to evaluate the data. The results show that individuals with mentors are more likely to be civically engaged during young adulthood.

Researchers have examined the experience of distress with refugee children and adolescents who have been exposed to political violence. Recognition has also been given to migration stress and traumatic grief as additional stressors in the lives of refugee youth. Studies in this area have established the fact that development appears to influence the expression of distress in youth who have experienced adverse experiences such as political violence. Reaction to political violence and the refugee experience also appear mediated by culture as well as other contextual factors such as the nature of the violence. The purpose of this study was to focus on clinician conceptualizations of refugee youth who have been exposed to political violence, as well as the factors that contribute to developing their conceptualizations. A total of 6 clinicians were interviewed and were analyzed using qualitative methods to identify emergent themes. The clinicians addressed 6 major themes associated with conceptualization, including sources of information, formal assessment, conceptualization, cultural factors or cultural influences, and advice to clinicians working with refugee youth. Three subthemes emerged regarding conceptualization, namely trauma- based conceptualization, loss, and resiliency. It is hoped that the results of this study will bridge the gap between clinicians and researchers regarding refugee minors with exposure to refugee youth.

Childhood exposure to familial violence increases risk for adult pathology, namely posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression. Primary PTSD symptoms of hyperarousal and avoidance are implicated in overgeneral memory (OGM) theory in prior research. Individuals with trauma history tend to report OGMs, or non-specific autobiographical memories, perhaps to avoid unpleasant arousal elicited by recalling specific events. OGM, PTSD, depression, and arousal were assessed in adults with and without familial violence history. Arousal was measured via galvanic skin response (GSR) during an autobiographical memory task (AMT), requiring memory recall in response to emotionally-valenced cue words. Familial violence history was linked to higher incidence of PTSD symptoms. Childhood psychological violence was predictive of adult PTSD. Rates of depression, OGM, and arousal did not significantly vary by violence history. Significant gender differences were found relating to type of violence exposure and adult functioning. Research limitations, clinical implications, and future research suggestions are discussed.

This review aims to explore the factors surrounding asylum seekers' disclosure during Home Office interviews and places particular emphasis on the role of shame in trauma and disclosure. It starts with an overview of the UK immigration system. Asylum seekers undergo one or more interviews by the Home Office as part of the process of claiming asylum. Many find it hard to disclose personal information during these interviews, but the reasons for this are largely undocumented. Section two will further explore the phenomenon of disclosure and the potential factors involved by reviewing the literature on patient disclosure in psychological therapy. Part three will look at the psychological impact of trauma in refugees. Refugees have by definition been subjected to persecution and many have been subjected to torture and organised violence in their home countries. This puts them at a higher risk of psychological difficulties. Evidence from the empirical literature will be reviewed. The last section provides an overview of the shame literature and focuses particularly on the role of shame in disclosure and psychopathology. The review concludes with recommendations for future research and for interviewing people in a variety of settings, proposing that the process of revealing personal information can be experienced as deeply shaming and thus impact negatively on disclosure. The implications of this for the asylum process will be discussed.

Abstract

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is highly prevalent in Pakistan. Social support is associated with a reduced risk for violence and adverse mental health. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between social support and the occurrence of IPV and adverse mental health among Pakistani women exposed to IPV, along with exploring help-seeking behaviour using qualitative interviews. Data from a cross-sectional survey of 759 women, aged 25–60, were analyzed using logistic regression. The results demonstrated that informal social support was associated with fewer occurrences of all forms of IPV and less likelihood of adverse mental health when exposed to psychological violence, whereas formal social support was associated with more occurrences of all forms of IPV and more likelihood of adverse mental health when exposed to psychological violence. The qualitative result showed that fear of social stigma and low autonomy were, among others, obstacles for seeking help. Suggestions for future interventions include strengthening informal social networks and expanding formal resources, as well as raising awareness of IPV in order to address the issue.

Background and purpose: The incidence of stroke is projected to increase worldwide and reduction of risk of the first stroke is therefore important. First stroke in young women often poses a diagnostic challenge but it has been suggested the risk is associated with hightened exposure to domestic abuse. This UK study was conducted to determine the incidence and examine the predisposing risk factors for early stroke in young women suffering domestic violence. The effect of a range of psychosocial variables and health behaviours on the incidence of strokes in young women in an abusive relationship is assessed. Methods: A cross-sectional survey collected information by self-report questionnaires on 237 women aged 18-56 exposed to domestic violence. The survey instrument measured the negative consequences of abuse and comprised demographic information, health status assessment, physical health illnesses and history of abuse. The GHQ-12 a stress measure was employed to gauge the effects of exposure to threatening life events. Correlational analyses and factor analysis were performed. Data was matched for women aged 20-44 with the average annual incidence rates of risk of first stroke in young women according to the Oxford Vascular stroke project register Results and conclusions: Unsurprisingly, a high incidence of depression was found in this study even when the majority of women were on medication. A number of high-risk behaviours were also associated with strangulation, alongside the physical trauma. The incidence of first stroke found in the study was 5 cases classified as 3 ischemic and 2 hemorrhagic strokes, such a high frequency has not previously been described in the research literature. According to Oxford data the incidence of stroke among women aged 20-44 in the UK is 0.14/1000 per year. Stroke sub-type incidence rates were found to be 10 fold increased risk for ischemic and 15 fold increased risk for hemorrhagic stroke compared with the matched control. Trauma was found to be the most common predisposing factor to stroke other reported risk factors to increase the risk of stroke included poor health profile, migraine, and heavy alcohol consumption. These incidence rates may be underestimates as a consequence of women not attending for medical care, hence tragically managing stroke-related symptoms in the home. However, due to the small numbers of stroke victims the results must be viewed with caution.

The current study examined the effectiveness of GTREM, a group treatment for urban Black adolescent females exposed to violence on their symptoms of aggression, anger, and depression. Aggression was measured using the Aggression Questionnaire- AQ (Buss and Warren, 2000). Depressive symptoms were measured using the Reynolds Adolescent Depression Scale-2-RADS-2 (Reynolds, 2002). Participants consisted of 110 urban Black adolescent females selected from six DC Public and Public Charter Schools. Results confirmed that the G-TREM group treatment significantly decreased the externalizing behaviors of aggression and anger and the internalizing symptoms of depressive symptoms for urban black females exposed to violence. The results indicated that the differences in decrease of symptoms experienced by the G-TREM participants were meaningful. One final result showed that treatment was more effective as participants' grade level increased.

Many children and adolescents in South Africa are being exposed as witnesses or are direct victims of violence in today's society. The purpose of this study is to explore what violent exposure adolescents have experienced and to develop a programme that includes coping skills, expression of emotion and communication. The research formed part of the FLAGH study. The research was done in the form of action research where the adolescents took part in the whole process of developing the programme. The study was done in four phases. In the first phase a random sample of 36 adolescents from Fikadibeng School in the North West Province were selected. They completed the Coping Responses Inventory-Youth Form, the Survey of exposure to community violence, Things I have seen and heard questionnaire and the Self-expression and control scales. In the second phase the programme was developed using the results of the pre-testing and a literature study on the effects of the exposure of violence on children. During the third phase the developed programme was pilot tested on a randomly selected group of the children and the post-testing took place in order to evaluate and adjust the programme according to the results found. Suggestion for the adjustment of the programme was done during the fourth phase of the study. Adolescents were largely exposed to community violence. They also displayed tendencies to internalize anger and used looking for guidance and cognitive avoidance as part of their coping repertoire. The programme proved to benefit the children in their coping with violence. It is recommended that for the future, larger groups of adolescents should be evaluated and programmes should be presented to a larger community in order to assist adolescent in their use of coping skills.

Domestic violence is increasingly recognised as a serious social problem that may cause severe negative impact and is a significant risk to children achieving positive outcomes. There has been scant research regarding the role of schools in response to children who have been exposed to domestic violence, yet schools represent many possibilities for supporting them. Head teachers are viewed as of central importance in the creation of effective schools (Ofsted, 2012). Head teacher leadership orientation and decision making has a significant impact on practice within the school. To the author's knowledge there has been no research regarding the role or views of head teachers in relation to children who have been exposed to domestic violence. The aim of this research is to explore head teacher experiences and perceptions of their own and school practices in relation to children who have been exposed to a domestic violence incident (s). A further aim is to consider key factors that influence the head teacher and school responses to supporting children in these circumstances. Five head teachers participated in semi-structured interviews and have all been involved in an initiative (Project Protect) whereby they received training to act as a 'key adult'. This means they receive notifications from the police containing details of a domestic violence (DV) incident (s) that have been police attended where a child was present and attends that head teacher's primary school. A thematic analysis was conducted and two main themes were highlighted that were of central relevance to the research questions; head teacher's understanding of DV and head teacher and school decision making and practice in response to children exposed to DV (CEDV).

The southwest and northwest regions of Cameroon have experienced high rates of intimate partner violence (IPV). Limited information is available about IPV victims' experiences with social support systems. This phenomenological study was aimed at investigating IPV victims' lived experiences with social support systems in Cameroon. Some of these systems are the judicial system, police officers, hospitals and clinics, and domestic violence agencies. The Health Belief Model (HBM) and the Transtheoretical Model of Change (TTM) were used to understand how 8 self-identified victims of IPV were able to discuss their lived experiences with social support systems. The research questions addressed women's experiences with social support systems as victims of intimate partner violence. The study also addressed participants' willingness to use social support systems again if the systems were made available to them. Data were gathered through face-to-face interviews using a purposeful-criterion sample that discussed the themes developed after the interview. The participants were selected with the help of 2 local domestic violence organizations based in the northwest and southwest regions of Cameroon. Study findings, which were generated via inductive analyses, indicated that victims sought the help of social support systems at least 3 times in hopes of changing their situation but were not satisfied with these systems. The study conveys social change by encouraging the need to educate social support systems in implementing and developing culturally-sensitive programs to eradicate IPV in Cameroon.

This research study evaluated the modified gap analysis of knowledge and skills, motivation, and organization on how low socioeconomic status (SES) Black male students who were exposed to community violence and participated in Our Kids, a pseudonym for a non-profit community based organization that provides extracurricular programs to at-risk males. The purpose of this study is to understand how the in-school violent behavior of low SES Black males affects these students’ abilities to realize future goals. Using the Clark and Estes (2008) gap analysis, the collection of data from interviews and documents identified and validated the source of the students’ performance gaps. Findings revealed that the urban school district had positive and negative aspects in its current program that addressed students’ in-school violent behavior. Overall, the findings exposed that the students in the study had procedural knowledge, knowledge of self-regulation and support their increase in knowledge of self-identity even though the documents exposed that Black male students may lack self-regulation. The students had self-efficacy and students’ emotions influence their motivation. The students believe that there is racial equities and opportunities to build trusting relationships but urban school district created a threatening environment. Yet, the documents show racial inequities. This research study recommends research-based solutions to assist organizations in decreasing in-school violent behavior. Finally, Our Kids can utilize the modified gap analysis model to identify and validate causes of performance gaps and recommend solutions.

Background: Men’s violence against women is a serious and extensive problem in the Indian society that affects the lives of these women entirely. The level of violence against women occur independent from all classes and ages. The estimated number of unknown cases is high and the uncertainty regarding number of victims is large. On a global perspective, the situation is even more confusing since the definitions of what makes a violent act varies substantially between countries and can range from anything between psychological, physical to sexual violence. Aim: To describe Indian nurse’s experience of caring for women exposed to gender-based violence. Methods: A qualitative study with semi-structured interviews was conducted. The interviews were made in four different hospitals in Mumbai, India. Five separated interviews were conducted with duration between 30-45 minutes with working nurses who all have experience in caring for women exposed to violence. Data was analyzed using content analysis described by Graneheim and Lundman (2004). Results: The data analysis revealed four main categories: Nurse patient relationship, Nurses ability to detect gender based violence, a part of the nursing process, Challenges in the nursing profession and Management of emotional impact. The nurses talked about the importance of building a trustful relationship and to observe the patient in order to identify violence. Challenges as language barriers, getting the women to open up about their situation and getting emotionally affected while caring for the women were described. Family support and teambuilding were of importance in order to handle these challenges. Discussions: It can be very difficult for women who have been exposed to violence to seek help. It is therefore important for the nurse to create a trustful relationship in order to get the woman to open up about her situation. However, studies show that nurses often get emotionally stressed from work and that many newly graduated nurses are thinking about leaving the profession. For this reason it is important that nurses get support in coping with the emotional impact and stress that comes from work.
Bakgrund: Mäns våld mot kvinnor är ett allvarligt och omfattande problem som har en stor påverkan på kvinnors liv i det indiska samhället. Nivån av våldet mot kvinnor sker oberoende från samhällsklass och ålder. Den beräknade siffran för mörkertal är hög och osäkerheten kring antalet offer är stor. Globalt sett finns stora oklarheter kring problemet då definitionen på vad som utgör en våldsam handling varierar avsevärt mellan länder och kan omfatta alltifrån psykologiskt och fysiskt till sexuellt våld. Syfte: Att beskriva indiska sjuksköterskors upplevelser av att vårda kvinnor utsatta för könsrelaterat våld. Metod: En kvalitativ studie med semi-strukturerade intervjuer utfördes. Intervjuerna gjordes på fyra olika sjukhus i Mumbai, Indien. Fem separata intervjuer som varade mellan 30–45 minuter utfördes med yrkesverksamma sjuksköterskor med erfarenhet av att vårda våldsutsatta kvinnor. Datamaterialet analyserades med hjälp av innehållsanalys beskrivet av Graneheim och Lundman (2004). Resultat: Dataanalysen resulterade i fyra huvudkategorier: Relationen mellan sjuksköterska och patient, Sjuksköterskans förmåga att upptäcka könsrelaterat våld – en del av omvårdnadsprocessen, Utmaningar i sjuksköterskeprofessionen och Hantering av känslomässig påverkan. Sjuksköterskorna beskrev vikten av att skapa en tillitsfull relation och att genom observation identifiera våld. Utmaningar som språkbarriärer, att få patienten att dela med sig av sin situation och emotionell påverkan beskrevs. För att hantera dessa utmaningar ansågs stöd från familjen och teamarbete vara viktiga aspekter. Diskussion: Det kan vara väldigt svårt för kvinnor som har blivit utsatta för våld att söka hjälp. Det är därför av stor vikt för en sjuksköterska att skapa en tillitsfull relation för att få kvinnan att dela med sig av sin situation. Forskning visar dock att sjuksköterskor ofta drabbas av emotionell stress och att många nyutexaminerade sjuksköterskor funderar på att lämna yrket. Av denna anledning är det viktigt att sjuksköterskor får stöd i att hantera den emotionella påverkan och stress som drabbar dem i det dagliga yrket.

Partnervåld innefattar våld i nära relationer i en partnerrelation. Tidigare forskning kring partnervåld fokuserar främst på våldet gentemot kvinnor, med manliga förövare. Manliga offer utsatta för partnervåld diskuteras sällan, och forskningen om ämnet är begränsat. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka skillnader i attityder och bedömningar gjorda av socialarbetare som i sitt arbete kommer i kontakt med partnervåld, och om dessa påverkas beroende på om den våldsutsatta personen är en man eller en kvinna. För att undersöka skillnader användes en kvantitativ vinjettmetod med tillhörande enkätfrågor. Två separata respondentgrupper har besvarat enkätfrågorna utifrån vinjetter som är uppdelade i två delar. I vinjetterna introduceras varje respondent för ett heterosexuellt par med en problematik av partnervåld. Vinjetterna är identiska med undantaget att karaktärernas kön är utbytta. Resultatet visar att i den våldsutsatta mannens situation bedöms våldet vara mindre allvarligt, att det finns mindre risk för fortsatt våld i relationen samt att den våldsutsatta mannen i lägre utsträckning är i behov av individuella insatser. Respondenterna ansåg även oftare att den våldsutövande kvinnan är i behov av individuella insatser jämfört med den manliga våldsutövaren. Teorier använda för att tolka resultatet innefattar socialkonstruktivism och genusteori. Studien kan tillföra perspektiv för ämnet om våldsutsatta män, och belyser att bedömningar om våldsutsatta kan skilja sig åt beroende på genus.
Domestic partner violence is violence in a partner relationship. Earlier research on domestic partner violence mainly focus on the violence against women, with male perpetrators. Male victims exposed to partner violence are rarely discussed, and research of the subject is limited. The purpose of this study is to investigate attitudes and assessments made by social workers who in their work encounter domestic partner violence, and if the social workers are affected depending on whether the person exposed to partner violence is a man or a woman. A quantitative vignette method with accompanying survey questions were used to investigate differences. Two separate groups of respondents answered survey questions based on vignettes divided into two parts. The respondents are each introduced in the vignettes to a heterosexual couple with a problem of partner violence. These vignettes are identical except for the characters’ genders which have been swapped. The result reveals that violence towards the victimized man is considered less serious, that there is less risk of continued violence in the relationship and that the victimized man is in less need of individual interventions. Respondents also considered to a lesser extent that the female perpetrator needed individual interventions compared to the male perpetrator. Social constructivism and gender theory are the theories used to interpret these results. The study can add perspectives about the subject of male victims and highlight that assessments of people exposed to partner violence may differ depending on the victim’s gender.

Introduction: This thesis had two primary aims. The first aim was to systematically review the literature investigating trauma symptoms in children and adolescents aged five to eighteen years who had been exposed to domestic abuse. The second aim was to complete an empirical study investigating predictors of trauma symptoms and the relational nature of trauma in women and children aged five to eighteen years who had been exposed to domestic abuse. Method: For the first aim, a systematic literature search identified eligible studies that met predefined inclusion criteria. Following data extraction, the studies were rated against methodological quality criteria. For the second aim, using a quantitative, cross-sectional design, 84 women self-reported on experiences of domestic abuse, symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress and trauma and their child’s trauma symptoms. Analyses investigated the relationship between exposure to domestic abuse and trauma symptoms, predictors of trauma symptoms and whether maternal trauma symptoms moderated the relationship between exposure to domestic abuse and child trauma symptoms. Results: The systematic review identified 14 studies that were eligible for inclusion. Two studies were rated as high quality, ten as acceptable quality and two as low quality. A consistent relationship between exposure to DA and trauma symptoms in children and adolescents was reported, regardless of study quality. The empirical study found a significant relationship between exposure to physical and psychological abuse and trauma symptoms in children aged five to eighteen years. Maternal trauma symptoms were both significantly correlated with and a significant predictor of child trauma symptoms supporting the relational nature of trauma in this population. The interaction was not significant, indicating that maternal trauma symptoms was not a moderator, and the relationship between domestic abuse and child trauma symptoms was present at low, medium and high levels of maternal trauma symptom severity. Conclusion: Across included studies the systematic review found a consistent but variable prevalence of PTSD and trauma symptoms in children and adolescents exposed to domestic abuse, highlighting the importance of assessment and evidence based intervention in this population. Results should be interpreted whilst taking into account the strengths and limitations of individual studies and the overall review. The majority of children in the research study were experiencing trauma symptom severity within the range of clinical concern. The relational nature of trauma was supported in mothers and children exposed to domestic abuse highlighting that treatment should be family based and delivered concurrently to mothers and their children. Results are discussed and should be interpreted whilst considering the limitations discussed.

Violence in milieu-disabled communities is an epidemic that can seriously affect the future health of children in South Africa. South Africa needs a stronger evidence base on the underlying causes of violence in the country to facilitate better planning of target services and to inform the design of intervention programmes (Mathews & Benvenuti, 2014:33). The social welfare sector is specifically challenged by the dearth in the development of indigenous interventions. In order to respond to these challenges the goal of the study was to describe, design and develop a holistic ethnic-centric intervention programme for the milieu-disabled Sotho primary school child exposed to violence. The ecological systems approach (Bronfenbrenner s bioecological model of development) and the Gestalt approach were used as conceptual frameworks to inform holistic ethnic-centric interventions related to children s exposure to violence. The empirical study was executed in a single geographical area namely, the Soshanguve Township with participants from the Sotho ethnic group. An adapted model of intervention research from Rothman and Thomas (1994) and recent developments by Fraser, Richman, Galingsky and Day (2009) were utilised to guide the process for the development of the intervention design. The exploratory sequential mixed-methods approach was applied, that incorporated both qualitative and quantitative research paradigms in one single study (Creswell & Plano Clark, 2011:411). A collective case study design was chosen for the first phase of the study as it provided an opportunity to utilise multiple case units and sources of data (observational study, focus groups, consultation with experts) to explore and describe in depth the phenomenon of the milieu-disabled Sotho primary school child exposed to violence (Krysik & Finn, 2013:165). The one-group, pre-test post-test design, also considered a pre-experimental design due to the absence of a control group - was implemented as a pilot study in the quantitative phase to gain tentative descriptive information for further development of the intervention (Rubin & Babbie, 2013:185). The qualitative findings contributed to a holistic and a phenomenological understanding of the way that the milieu-disabled Sotho primary school child experienced and gave meaning to his/her socio-cultural ecology of violence. Multiple protective and risk factors emerged that significantly informed the critical target areas that were needed for the design of the intervention programme. The participants in the collective case study were empowered with a voice as experts of their own contextual realities to determine the desired needs for the intervention programme. It was concluded from the quantitative findings that the intervention programme and measurement instrument will need further refinement through pilot testing and expert reviews. The qualitative findings related to the group process and responses of the children to the programme, however, revealed promising results for future development of the intervention programme. It was, therefore, recommended that the intervention programme be refined to resolve the identified weaknesses and improve on its effectiveness through a balanced consideration of both the quantitative and qualitative findings of the pilot study. It is anticipated that the pioneering research project would stimulate social workers to contribute to the design of culturally sensitive and evident-based intervention models rooted in ethnic children s voices and a holistic understanding of the context of milieu disability and violence.

Adolescents' experiences of receiving therapeutic support as a result of witnessing domestic violence. has been under-researched. This study aimed to fill a gap in the literature and explore how adolescents' experiences of therapeutic practice could help inform theory regarding the building of resilience. Objective This study aimed to address the following research question: 'How do adolescents, aged 12-16, experience the process of being supported by a charity after being exposed to chronic domestic violence in the family home?' Method A qualitative methodology utilising semi-structured interviews was used. Six adolescents (3 boys and 3 girls) who had been exposed to domestic violence and experienced a supportive intervention at a charitable organisation were interviewed. Interviews were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (Smith, Flowers & Larkin, 2009). Two focus groups, with additional young people, were conducted. These were credibility checks for the development of the semi-structured interview, and the quality assurance of the analysis. Results Four [FA master themes emerged: ( 1) 'the development of personal survival strategies and their ongoing legacy'; (2) ' developing and understanding personal psychological processes that facilitate resilient responding'; (3) ' feeling emotionally safe in relationships'; and (4) 'having a voice'. All themes demonstrated the effects on attachment strategies of having had a secure base at the charitable organisation.

The purpose of this project was to locate a potential funding source and write a grant for early mental health services for children 0 to 5 years old exposed to interpersonal violence. An extensive literature review was conducted to understand the impact of interpersonal violence on young children, as well as evidence-based therapies for this population.

The goals of the proposed program are to strengthen the parent-child bond and thus minimize the child’s emotional, psychological, and behavioral issues caused by interpersonal violence. Parent-child therapy would be provided in the home so that the child is in a familiar environment and the parent can witness positive parenting skills, as taught by the therapist in a real world scenario.

The John and Lisa Pritzker family fund was chosen to support the program. The actual submission of the grant was not a requirement of the thesis project.

South African children, particularly those exposed to multiple adversities are at risk for violence and trauma exposure. Violence against children is a significant cause of personal suffering and long-term mental ill-health, psychological and social maladjustment. The current study provides an overview of exposure to and experiences of violence against children. Furthermore, the study aims to provide information indicating existing psychological/therapeutical services provided to children affected by violence and trauma in Mamelodi Township. The study provides alternative approaches to address the shortage of resources for adequate and effective psychology-based mental health care services in Mamelodi. Survey interviews with open-and closed-ended questions were utilized to collect data from eleven (11) service providers, offering intervention services to violence and trauma-exposed children in Mamelodi. The service providers are registered with the Department of Social Services (DSS). Descriptive statistics and content analysis were both employed to analyse demographic information, quantitative and qualitative data. From the analysis, about 30% to 100% of children reporting to the service providers had been exposed to violence in their homes and communities. The most commonly reported forms of violence were sexual abuse, physical abuse, domestic abuse and community violence. Up to 320 affected children were handled in a given month in some organisations, with social workers handling very high caseloads. Trauma-focused interventions for both trauma-affected children and their caregivers/parents were reported to be scarce and costly in this resource-deprived community. Instead, semi-skilled professionals and non-therapeutic activities were generally used in the majority of the organizations. Even though the effectiveness of these interventions are not research-based, they are however serving as a first aid to those affected by violence and trauma. This provides some assistance to many children who may be on the waiting list for weeks, months and even years. The personal and social costs of violence are of great concern, resulting in mental health-related difficulties. There is an urgent need for more psychology-based mental health specialists to be trained and interventions at community level to be established. Furthermore, parental relationships need to be strengthened and the state could aid by supporting families and protecting the children. Keywords: Psychological Services, Violence, Trauma, Children

The aim of the current study was to highlight the social service work with domestic violence against women. In this study, we examined whether there was a difference in the way the social service works and if their effort differ in terms of domestic violence. Moreover, this study investigated how social workers work to prevent future violence against victims also what method they use to find out the causes behind men’s violence against women. A total of four administrative officers were interviewed from two different municipalities. All four officers were actively working with questions concerning domestic violence against women. The content analysis methodology was used as a basis for our questioner which contained twenty questions. This method was chosen because of violence is the basis of social service work. In conclusion, social services in the two municipalities that were studied in this study offer abused women different types of contributions. The type of effort provided depends on women’s individual situations. There are however, no major differences between the ways social services are dealing with domestic violence compared with honor-related violence. In those cases that were received to the two social offices, the underlying causes of violence against women varied. This may possibly include alcohol-related violence and mental illness. Future actions concerns the need of social assistance to work more on developing new methods to mainly protect women from domestic violence also to provide information to women about the social service interventions.

The object of this thesis was to deepen the understanding of the contemporary political discourse regarding migrant women exposed to domestic violence. This was conducted by analysing propositions, motions and interpellation debates raising the issue during the years 2000-2012. The method used was inspired by Foucault’s discourse analysis and the traditional hermeneutic approach. The result showed how several different mechanisms work to both include and exclude these women from the Swedish welfare system. By being women they are included in the political debate regarding men’s violence against women, but their migrant status excludes them from it at the same time. When migrant women are exposed to domestic violence it is often seen as an individual problem even though men’s violence against women generally is seen as a structural problem. Several conflicts of interests were also found. One of them being whether migrant women are to be warned if their partners have abused women before. The man’s right to integrity stands against the woman’s right to protection. Another conflict is the fear of the migration right being abused, which is pitted against the migrant women’s rights. To summarize the analysis this thesis has shown how the portraying of migrant women as different in the political discourse plays an important role in creating conflicts of interest and to some extent exclude them from the welfare system. Women’s right seem to apply only to certain women under certain circumstances. An intersectional perspective was necessary for understanding the complexity of the situation, taking into account how different power relations interact and construct the contemporary discourse.

The purpose with this study was to create an understanding of how paramedics have experienced situations where they were exposed to threats and violence, and how the staff described how threats and violence could be prevented. Five semistructured interviews was performed in a mid sized region in Sweden. The main result showed that all respondents, at some occasion, have felt threatened. There have also been situations where they have been exposed to violent events. Patients with certain illnesses could contribute to the feeling of being exposed to threats and violence; although, if the employer had provided education and support in this, then maybe the situations could have been prevented. Our most important conclusion was that there have been little to no preventive work against threats and violence, except for a few courses, although, all respondents felt that experience had the biggest impact for how threatening and violent situations were handled.
Syftet med studien var att skapa förståelse för hur ambulanspersonal har upplevt situationer där de mött hot och våld samt hur personalen beskrev att hot och våld kunde förebyggas. Fem semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes i en medelstor region i Sverige. Huvudresultatet visade att samtliga intervjudeltagare vid något tillfälle hade känt sig hotade, det har också förekommit situationer där de blivit utsatta för våldsamma händelser. Patienter med vissa sjukdomsbilder kunde bidra till känslan av utsatthet för hot och våld, men hade arbetsgivaren gett utbildning och stöd i detta kanske situationen hade kunnat förebyggas. Vår viktigaste slutsats blev att det förebyggande arbetet för hot och våld har lyst med sin frånvaro, någon enstaka utbildning har erbjudits men alla intervjudeltagare menade att det var erfarenhet som hade störst betydelse för hur hot- och våldssituationer hanterades.

Bakgrund: Patientmötet är en central del av sjuksköterskans yrkesutövning och dessa sker med människor i varierande livssituationer. I mötet ska omvårdnadsbehovet tillgodoses fysiskt, psykiskt, socialt, andligt och kulturellt. Våldsutsatta kvinnor uppsöker sjukvård i större utsträckning än andra och sjuksköterskan har en betydande roll i att identifiera dessa och ge de den omvårdnad de behöver. Syfte: Att belysa möjligheter och utmaningar uppstådda i mötet mellan våldsutsatta kvinnor och sjuksköterskor i vårdsituationen. Metod: En litteraturstudie med analys av nio vetenskapliga artiklar med både kvantitativ och kvalitativ ansats. Resultat: Utbildning, arbetsmiljörelaterade faktorer, rutiner och ledningsstöd är aspekter på en organisatorisk nivå där både möjligheter och utmaningar kunde identifieras i mötet mellan sjuksköterskor och våldsutsatta kvinnor. På en individuell nivå kan attityd och kunskap visa på dito. Klinisk relevans: Litteraturstudien bidrar med en överskådlig bild av vilka möjligheter och utmaningar som uppstår i mötet mellan våldsutsatta kvinnor och sjuksköterskor. De möjligheter som framkom i det sammanställda resultatet visade sig vara återkommande under en majoritet av subkategorierna och kan användas i sjuksköterskans arbete för att åstadkomma ett gott möte för dessa kvinnor med hälso- ochförbättringsarbete både individuellt och på en organisatorisk nivå.
Background: The encounter with patients is a central part of the nurses’ occupation and these are held with people in a variety of life situations. In the meeting, the nursing needs must be addressed both physically, psychologically, socially and culturally. Women exposed to violence seek healthcare in greater extent than others and nurses have a significant role in identifying these and providing the nursing they need. Purpose: To shed light over possibilities and challenges occured in the meeting between women exposed to violence and nurses in the caring environment. Method: A literature review with analysis of nine scientific articles with both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Results: Education, factors related to work environment, routines and management support are aspects of an organizational level where both opportunities and challenges could be identified in the meeting between nurses and women exposed to violence. On an individual level, attitudes and knowledge can present dito. Clinical relevance: The literature study provides a clear picture of the opportunities and challenges that arise in the encounter between women exposed to violence and nurses. The experiences found in the compiled result proved to be recurring in a majority of the subcategories and can be used in the nurse's work for reflection and the opportunity to establish a good meeting for these women with health care. Even the challenges raised can be important areas for improvement work both individually and at an organizational level

According to a National Board Report (Hermansson, Lindgren and Tengström 2011) women staying at shelters feel much worse than the general population. These women are also in need of great efforts and support from various social assistance instances. Many women who have previously stayed at the shelters get an opportunity for a fresh start. The women who choose to remain in the process usually goes through a turbulent time during the first period, often with a lot of differnet emotions involved. It is not unusual that a lot of decisions have to be made in order to cut the ties with their old life (aa). This study investigates women’s experience from women's shelters and how that experiencee has contributed to their change of life. Semistructured interviews have been completed with eight different women, all of them with experience from women's shelters. This has been done in order to investigate the questions of the study which is to try to understand and interpret the women's experiences from the time at the women's shelters and how that has helped them to manage their situation. The theoretical point of departure is Aaron Antonovsky´s theory "Sense of Coherence" (SOC). The result from the study has been categorised in three different subjects: Women's background and experiences of women's shelters, the structure of women's shelters and women's expectations and desires from women's shelters.
Enligt Socialstyrelsens rapport (Hermansson, Lindgren och Tengström 2011) mår kvinnor som vistas på kvinnojourer mycket sämre än allmänbefolkningen och dessa kvinnor är i behov av stora insatser och stöd från samhällets olika hjälporgan. Många kvinnor som tidigare har bott på kvinnojourer får en möjlighet till nystart i livet med stöd av en organisation som endast arbetar för kvinnans skull. En del av kvinnorna väljer att gå tillbaka till sina gamla liv men de kvinnorna som väljer att stanna kvar går oftast igenom en turbulent tid den första perioden, ofta är det många olika känslor inblandade, det får också kämpa sig igenom flertalet olika beslut för att kapa banden med sina gamla liv (a.a). Denna studie handlar om kvinnors upplevelser om hur kvinnojourer har bidragit till att deras livssituation har förändrats. Semistrukturerade intervjuer har genomförts med åtta stycken kvinnor som bott på kvinnojourer tidigare. Detta för att kunna besvara studiens frågeställningar med syftet att försöka förstå samt tolka kvinnornas upplevelser av tiden på kvinnojouren och vad det har inneburit för kvinnorna i den uppbrottsprocess som lett kvinnorna till kvinnojouren. Den teoretiska utgångspunkten i uppsatsen är KASAM (känslan av sammanhang), vilket även används som analysredskap. Studiens resultat har kategoriserats i tre olika teman: Kvinnors bakgrund och upplevelser av kvinnojourer, Strukturen på kvinnojourerna och Kvinnors förväntningar och önskningar av kvinnojourer
