Abstract

Purpose

Safety planning is often recommended for stalking victims, yet there has been limited research on personal safety planning in general and specifically for stalking victims. This study has two overall objectives: (1) to examine whether frequency of safety scenario planning (thinking through various strategies in responding to threatening situations) among ex-partner stalking victims is associated with increased personal safety worry, safety efficacy, and other safety behaviors (e.g., seeking safety advice, carrying a safety device); and (2) to explore associations of frequency of safety scenario planning with partner abuse and stalking experiences, help-seeking, and mental health symptoms.

Method

Women stalking victims were recruited from Prolific. Three groups were developed for comparisons including stalking victims who: (a) did not engage in safety scenario planning in the past year (n = 121); (b) engaged in one safety scenario planning activity in the past year (n = 256); and (c) engaged in 2 or more safety scenario planning activities in the past year (n = 184).

Results

Bivariate results found that frequency of safety scenario planning was associated with increased personal safety worry, increased seeking and giving safety advice, and increased defensive safety behaviors. Additionally, the multivariate analysis found more frequent safety scenario planning was uniquely and significantly associated with increased personal safety worry, safety efficacy, work interference, the number of different help-seeking sources, PTSD symptoms, and sexual discomfort.

Conclusions

More research is needed to provide information about best practices in safety planning to better help victims manage the short- and long-term consequences of violence exposure in their recovery journey.

前伴侣跟踪受害者安全情景规划探索性研究
目的 安全规划通常是针对跟踪骚扰受害者的建议,但有关个人安全规划的总体研究和专 门针对跟踪骚扰受害者的研究却很有限。本研究有两个总体目标:(1) 探讨前伴侣跟踪受害者进行安全情景规划(思考应对威胁情况的各种策略)的频率是否与个人安全担忧、安全效能和其他安全行为(如寻求安全建议、携带安全装置)的增加有关;(2) 探讨安全情景规划的频率与伴侣虐待和跟踪经历、寻求帮助和心理健康症状之间的关联。我们设立了三个组别进行比较,其中包括以下跟踪受害者(结果二元变量结果发现,安全情景规划的频率与个人安全担忧的增加、寻求和提供安全建议的增加以及防御性安全行为的增加有关。此外,多变量分析还发现,更频繁地进行安全情景规划与个人安全担忧、安全效能、工作干扰、不同求助来源的数量、创伤后应激障碍症状和性不适感的增加有独特的显著相关性。结论需要开展更多的研究,以提供有关安全规划最佳实践的信息,从而更好地帮助受害者在康复过程中管理暴力暴露的短期和长期后果。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Family Violence (JOFV) is a peer-reviewed publication committed to the dissemination of rigorous research on preventing, ending, and ameliorating all forms of family violence.  JOFV welcomes scholarly articles related to the broad categories of child abuse and maltreatment, dating violence, domestic and partner violence, and elder abuse. Within these categories, JOFV emphasizes research on physical violence, psychological violence, sexual violence, and homicides that occur in families. Studies on families in all their various forms and diversities are welcome.  JOFV publishes studies using quantitative, qualitative, and/or mixed methods involving the collection of primary data. Rigorous systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and theoretical analyses are also welcome. To help advance scientific understandings of family violence, JOFV is especially interested in research using transdisciplinary perspectives and innovative research methods. Because family violence is a global problem requiring solutions from diverse disciplinary perspectives, JOFV strongly encourages submissions from scholars worldwide from all disciplines and backgrounds.
