项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Intimate Partner Violence in Rural Aging Women: Promoting Community Knowledge Intimate partner violence (IPV), which includes physical, sexual, or psychological abuse, is a major public health concern. National age-aggregated data available suggest that a significant number of mid-life and older women experience IPV. With the aging of the baby boom generation, the incidence and prevalence of IPV in aging women is expected to increase significantly. The purpose of this collaborative partnership between the Center for Gerontology at Virginia Tech and the Women's Resource Center of the New River Valley is to enhance service professionals' knowledge of IPV of aging women as they engage in a process for developing a strategic model of intervention to address the needs of women in their community. The specific aims of the collaborative effort include: identifying existing NIH supported and other available empirical research and program descriptions addressing issues of IPV in aging women (e.g., individual outcomes, community interventions); projecting the future prevalence of aging women who are victims of IPV in the study area; obtaining the perspectives of community leaders (e.g., service professionals, healthcare providers, law enforcement, clergy) about IPV of aging women as well acquiring input from the women themselves; and developing a intervention model to address the needs aging victims of IPV living in rural communities. To achieve these aims, the project relies on community-based participatory research practices to address issues facing rural aging women who wish to lead safe or violence-free lives in their later years and the community support to help them safely and successfully rebuild their lives. Data collection strategies include a review of the scientific literature and community programs designed to address the needs of aging women who experience IPV, focus groups with professional service providers, and interviews with women who experienced IPV in mid and late life. Data will be used to develop a strategic planning model that will serve as the framework from which to construct prevention and intervention programs to accommodate the needs of rural aging older women seeking assistance to end violent relationships. The results of this collaborative project are likely to improve public understanding of federally funded biomedical and behavioral research related to IPV of aging women. Specifically, the project products (i.e., white papers/research briefs) will be distributed to policymakers, law enforcement agencies, community services, and faith-based organizations to further their understanding of the issues and challenges facing rural older rural women who experience IPV. Intimate partner violence, which includes physical, sexual, or psychological abuse, is a major public health concern. This collaborative partnership between the Center for Gerontology at Virginia Tech and the Women's Resource Center of the New River Valley will enhance service professionals' knowledge of IPV of aging women as they engage in a process for developing a strategic model of intervention to address the needs of women in their community.

描述（由申请人提供）：农村老龄妇女的亲密伴侣暴力：促进社区知识亲密伴侣暴力（IPV），包括身体，性或心理虐待，是一个主要的公共健康问题。可用的国家年龄构成的数据表明，大量的中年和老年妇女经历了IPV。随着婴儿潮一代的衰老，IPV在老龄妇女中的发病率和患病率预计将显着增加。弗吉尼亚理工学院的老年医学中心与新河谷的妇女资源中心之间的这种合作伙伴关系的目的是增强服务专业人员对衰老妇女的IPV知识，因为她们从事开发干预措施以开发干预模型的过程满足社区中妇女的需求。协作工作的具体目的包括：确定现有的NIH支持和其他可用的经验研究和计划描述，以解决衰老妇女中IPV问题（例如，个人成果，社区干预措施）；预测研究领域IPV受害者老龄妇女的未来患病率；获得社区领导人（例如服务专业人员，医疗保健提供者，执法，神职人员）的观点，这些观点也对衰老妇女的IPV以及从妇女自己那里获得意见；并开发一种干预模型，以满足生活在农村社区的IPV的老化受害者的需求。为了实现这些目标，该项目依靠基于社区的参与性研究实践来解决希望在后来几年过着安全或无暴力生活的农村老龄妇女面临的问题，以及社区的支持，以帮助她们安全，成功地重建生活。数据收集策略包括对科学文献和社区计划的审查，旨在满足经历IPV的老年女性的需求，与专业服务提供者的焦点小组以及对中后期生活经历IPV的妇女的访谈。数据将用于开发一种战略规划模型，该模型将作为构建预防和干预计划的框架，以适应农村老年老年妇女寻求援助以结束暴力关系的需求。该协作项目的结果可能会提高公众对与衰老妇女IPV有关的联邦资助的生物医学和行为研究的理解。具体来说，项目产品（即白皮书/研究简介）将分发给政策制定者，执法机构，社区服务和基于信仰的组织，以进一步了解他们对经历IPV的农村老年妇女面临的问题和挑战。亲密的伴侣暴力，包括身体，性或心理虐待，是一个主要的公共卫生问题。弗吉尼亚理工大学的老年医学中心与新河谷妇女资源中心之间的这种合作伙伴关系将增强服务专业人员对衰老妇女的IPV知识，因为她们从事开发一种战略性的干预模型以满足解决需求的过程社区中的妇女。
