Violence Against Women is a global problem that affects millions of women around the world. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the Mental Health and Quality of Life of Ecuadorian women exposed or not exposed to Gender Violence mediated by sociodemographic factors. A total of 433 Ecuadorian women, 18 to 64 years of age, most of whom (69%) reported being exposed to gender violence. Most of the women lived in the province of Pichincha and were selected through a type of nonprobabilistic sampling based on a survey about gender violence. Women exposed to gender violence showed a greater impact on personality profiles, clinical tests, and quality of life in the physical, psychological, social, and environmental domains compared to women not exposed to violence. In addition, these effects were mediated by age, economic level, education, marital status, and exposure to physical violence and psychological or sexual abuse within the socio-family or work contexts. The results of this study could contribute to improving public health systems, showing improvements in care programs for victims of violence.

针对妇女的暴力行为是一个全球性问题，影响着全世界数百万妇女。本研究的主要目的是评估遭受或未遭受社会人口因素介导的性别暴力的厄瓜多尔妇女的心理健康和生活质量。共有 433 名厄瓜多尔女性，年龄在 18 岁至 64 岁之间，其中大多数 (69%) 报告遭受过性别暴力。大多数妇女居住在皮钦查省，是通过基于性别暴力调查的非概率抽样选出的。与未遭受暴力的女性相比，遭受性别暴力的女性在人格特征、临床测试以及身体、心理、社会和环境领域的生活质量方面表现出更大的影响。此外，这些影响还受到年龄、经济水平、教育、婚姻状况以及在社会家庭或工作环境中遭受身体暴力和心理或性虐待的影响。这项研究的结果可能有助于改善公共卫生系统，显示暴力受害者护理计划的改善。
