While population-based research confirms that women with disabilities abused by their intimate partners experience significant mental health issues, few studies compare this in intimate partner violence (IPV)-specific samples of women with or without disabilities and none analyze possible impacts based on disability type. This secondary mixed methods analysis examined 660 Canadian women (50.6% Indigenous, 43.1% White, and 6.1% visible minority) with respect to whether they reported having a disability that impacted their employability or daily living (291 or 44% yes; 369 or 56% said no). In the 291 women with disabilities, about one-third (30.7%) had a physical disability-only, one-quarter had a mental health disability-only, and 44.1% reported both physical and mental health disabilities. Women with mental health and both physical and mental health disabilities reported significantly more Severe Combined IPV on the Composite Abuse Scale, depression (CES-D-10; Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression), psychological distress (Symptom Checklist Shortform-10; SCL-10; in the clinical range), PTSD symptoms (PTSD Checklist), and lower quality of life (Quality of Life Questionnaire or QoL-9) than women without disabilities. Education about disabilities is needed for IPV advocates and disability practitioners need education about IPV. Developing services specific to survivors of IPV with disabilities is recommended.

“他偷了我的药来兴奋：”被亲密伴侣虐待的女性的心理健康和福祉及其残疾状况

虽然基于人口的研究证实，受到亲密伴侣虐待的残疾妇女会经历严重的心理健康问题，但很少有研究在残疾或正常妇女的亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV) 特定样本中进行比较，也没有研究根据残疾类型分析可能的影响。这项二次混合方法分析调查了 660 名加拿大女性（50.6% 为原住民、43.1% 为白人、6.1% 为有色少数族裔），了解她们是否报告患有影响其就业能力或日常生活的残疾（291 或 44% 是；369 或 56 % 说不）。在 291 名残疾妇女中，约三分之一 (30.7%) 仅存在身体残疾，四分之一仅存在精神健康残疾，44.1% 的人报告身体和精神健康均存在残疾。患有心理健康以及身心健康残疾的女性报告称，在综合虐待量表上，严重综合性 IPV、抑郁症（CES-D-10；流行病学研究中心抑郁症）、心理困扰（症状清单简表-10；SCL- 10；在临床范围内）、PTSD 症状（PTSD 检查表）和生活质量（生活质量问卷或 QoL-9）低于无残疾的女性。 IPV 倡导者需要有关残疾的教育，残疾从业者也需要有关 IPV 的教育。建议开发专门针对残疾 IPV 幸存者的服务。
