Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a critical social issue and impacts female victims' health circumstances and quality of life (QOL). IPV includes physical, psychological, and sexual violence. In Thai women, rates of psychological, physical, and sexual violence have been estimated at 89.8%, 61.3%, and 25.4%, respectively. Family and friends have been reported as playing an important role in reducing the impact of IPV on QOL. Nevertheless, little is known about the effect of having support from family and friends as it applies to domains of QOL (DQOL) among Thai women experiencing one or more types of IPV. The research findings of this study will increase the understanding of the relationships among the extent of IPV (EIPV), family support, friend support, and DQOL. This understanding may facilitate the promotion of effective family and friend support interventions in this vulnerable population. The overall aim was to determine whether family support and friend support moderate the relationship between EIPV (conceptualized as the number of types of IPV experienced) and DQOL among Thai women. An adapted Cohen and McKay's Stress-Buffering Model (SBM) was the theoretical framework used to guide this study. The SBM posits that negative outcomes can be mitigated when IPV, as a stressful event, interacts with appropriate social support. This study was a descriptive, cross-sectional analysis of an existing dataset collected from Thai female patients between 18 and 60 years of age from OB/GYN units in a large hospital in northeast Thailand. Among the 283 participants, the rates of EIPV, classified as no abuse, one-type, two-types, and all three-types, were 9.9%, 25.8%, 42.0%, and 22.3%, respectively. The results show both family support and friend support moderated between EIPV and psychological health. The buffering effects were stronger for women who experienced multiple types of IPV. The more IPV types experienced and the less family and friend support received, the lower the score of psychological health. Neither family nor friend support moderate the relationships among EIPV and the other four DQOL. The study findings revealed both family and friend support are advantageous for minimizing the adverse effect of EIPV on women's psychological health. These findings suggest screening for a history of IPV in female clients receiving hospital services may enable early detection of abuse. The findings could also provide a better understanding of female victims' perception of available social support and aid in the development and testing of interventions for victims in Thailand and possibly other Southeast Asian countries with similar cultural contexts.

It is clear that physical abuse is an integral component of some intimate relationships. This book addresses not the violence but our responses or lack of responses to that violation of personal integrity and the accompanying trauma. How partner violence is responded to, individually and collectively, may well determine whether the violence can be prevented or will cease once begun. This text is intended to serve as a basic resource for the student, clinician and researcher. It provides a summary of how we have responded to such violence in the past and presents potential future directions for research and prevention efforts.

A health-care provider is likely to be the first professional contact for survivors of intimate partner violence or sexual assault. Evidence suggests that women who have been subjected to violence seek health care more often than non-abused women, even if they do not disclose the associated violence. They also identify health-care providers as the professionals they would most trust with disclosure of abuse. These guidelines are an unprecedented effort to equip healthcare providers with evidence-based guidance as to how to respond to intimate partner violence and sexual violence against women. They also provide advice for policy makers, encouraging better coordination and funding of services, and greater attention to responding to sexual violence and partner violence within training programmes for health care providers. The guidelines are based on systematic reviews of the evidence, and cover: 1. identification and clinical care for intimate partner violence 2. clinical care for sexual assault 3. training relating to intimate partner violence and sexual assault against women 4. policy and programmatic approaches to delivering services 5. mandatory reporting of intimate partner violence. The guidelines aim to raise awareness of violence against women among health-care providers and policy-makers, so that they better understand the need for an appropriate health-sector response. They provide standards that can form the basis for national guidelines, and for integrating these issues into health-care provider education.

Insomnia is the most common of all sleep problems. Long-term insomnia affects an individual's overall quality of life. Insomnia can arise from physiological, psychological, or environmental factors. Exposure to stressors such as Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) could lead to insomnia, which eventually affects physical and mental health. Social support is one strategy that alleviates and improves health outcomes. Limited studies in Thailand have addressed insomnia in women and its relationship with IPV and social support. This study aimed: 1) to examine the relationships between number of IPV types experienced, severity of physical abuse, perceived severity of sexual abuse, perceived severity of psychological abuse, social support, and insomnia; 2) to examine the moderating effect of social support on the relationships between number of IPV types experienced, perceived severity of IPV types (physical, sexual, and psychological abuse), and insomnia after controlling for age, education level, and income; and 3) to determine which social support form proved more effective: family support or friends support. The transactional model of stress and coping guided this study (Lazarus & Folkman, 1984). This study used secondary data analysis with a correlational but non-experimental design. Two-hundred and eighty four Thai women aged 18 years and older receiving care in the obstetrics and gynecology unit, and read and write in Thai comprised the subjects of this study. Pearson r test and hierarchical multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the data. The results reported significant relationships between the study variables, except that the relationship between perceived severity of sexual abuse and social support did not appear as significant. The results of hierarchical multiple regression indicated that social support was not a moderator between independents variable and insomnia. R2 change in insomnia variance was not significant when adding the interaction terms of social support with other variables to the regression model. Neither friend nor family support were significant as moderators between study variables. Still, friends support was significant as a predictor of reduced insomnia whereas family support was not.This study findings can contribute to the existing Thai literature by providing new information about insomnia and associated factors. In practice, nurses can use the study findings in determining the underlying factors that might be associated with insomnia, such as IPV. Nursing intervention can then be provided based on underlying factors. Where insomnia does not relate to IPV, available friends support can be provided to a woman to decrease insomnia and simultaneously improve her sleep quality.

Like other developing countries, in Pakistan, women are frequently victims of intimate partner violence. Studying violence in a conservative patriarchal set-up is a challenging task as the issue is denied and usually concealed under the cloak of "family privacy." Thus far, in Pakistan, intimate partner violence is not recognized as a public health and developmental issue. This study intends to fill this research gap and documents intimate partner violence as a public health issue by investigating its association with women's mental and reproductive health in Pakistan. This research is theoretically embedded in the "integrated ecological framework" introduced by Heise (1998) to explain and explicate the complexity of the phenomenon of intimate partner violence. In patriarchal societies, girls are usually socialized in such a way that they become submissive and dependent on men. In order to ensure women's docility and "obedience," women are subjected to control, discipline and, sometimes, violent punishment (Foucault 1977). The core assumption of this research is that violence or threat of violence damages women's physical, mental and reproductive health. Arguably, violence also constricts women's ability to develop essential capabilities to live an independent and dignified life (Nussbaum 2005). Data showed that the acts of violence rendered substantial damage to women's mental and reproductive health. It was found that sexual violence was significantly associated with non-use of contraceptives and unintended pregnancies which may lead to unsafe and high risk abortions. The qualitative data revealed that physicians and other stakeholders (e.g. religious leaders, community leaders) lacked competence, training and resources to provide comprehensive care to the victims. This study demonstrates that without protecting women from violence, Pakistan cannot achieve Millennium Development Goals especially reduction in infant and maternal mortality, gender equality, and wom
