Mental health of intimate partner violence victims: depression, anxiety, and life satisfaction
In conclusion, this study emphasizes the complex relationship between various forms of intimate partner violence and mental health, particularly focusing on the mediating role of anxiety in the development of depressive symptoms. The findings highlight the critical need for the development of comprehensive, culturally sensitive intervention strategies aimed at intimate partner violence victim women, especially those who have endured multiple types of abuse. These interventions should be designed to address the specific mental health challenges associated with diverse forms of interpersonal partner violence, as well as the socio-cultural contexts in which victims reside.
