Abstract

Eleven South Asian women were recruited from three domestic violence agencies in the United States and interviewed to examine their experiences with intimate partner violence (IPV). The interviews were analyzed using a grounded theory approach. Themes included detailed barriers and facilitators to disclosure of the abuse and leaving the abusive relationship. Findings suggest that families of origin and in-laws play a significant role in the process of leaving the relationship. Children are often cited as a source of strength for the women. The process of healing and recovery after leaving a relationship with IPV was also discussed by women enrolled in this study. Pragmatic approaches to addressing IPV among South Asian women in health care settings are also considered.
