Abstract
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to assess the association between family and social support, posttraumatic stress (PTS) symptoms, and coping styles among ultra-Orthodox Jewish battered women (BW) who chose to flee to a shelter. In all, 88 women took part in the study. Positive correlations were found between appealing to friends, shelter staff, professionals, or neighbors for help in stressful situations and the use of problem-focused coping. Positive correlations were also found between appealing to professionals for help in stressful situations and PTS symptoms and routine functioning difficulties. In addition, a positive correlation was found between PTS symptoms and emotion-focused coping. The findings indicate the resemblance between BW in Jewish ultra-Orthodox society and BW in Western society in general.
