Adverse Childhood Experiences, Depression, and Intimate Partner Violence Among Chinese Immigrant Women: Mediation by Social and Partner Support.
Yang LiFanghong DongKayla HerbellPublished in: Nursing research (2023)
ACEs indirectly affect depressive symptoms by undermining both general perceptions of support and perceived partner support. The findings of this study underscore the critical influence of a lack of partner support in mediating the effects of ACEs on Chinese immigrant women's risk of IPV. Promoting strong existing support networks, creating new support resources, and improving partner relationships are important targets for interventions to mitigate the effects of ACEs on depression and IPV in Chinese immigrant women.
