The aim of this study is to determine the effect of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy on the resilience of women experiencing spousal abuse.

Methods & Materials: 

This is a quasi-experimental study. A total of 80 women experiencing spousal abuse were selected through quota sampling from the women referring to the health houses affiliated to the Mashhad ol-Kube health center in Arak, Iran between 2020 and 2021. The participants were then divided into intervention and control groups using the block randomization method. The intervention group received the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in eight sessions, lasting 90 minutes each, once a week. The data collection tools included a questionnaire on personal and health characteristics, the Revised Conflict Tactics Scale, and the Connor‐Davidson Resilience Scale. The Resilience Scale was completed by both groups one week and five weeks after the intervention. The data were analyzed through the SPSS software version 23 using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, Chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test, and two-way repeated measures ANOVA. A significance level of P<0.05 was used to determine statistical significance.

The mean and standard deviation of the resilience score for the intervention group increased from 59.21±13.29 before the intervention to 64.31±11.27 and 72.34±10.49 in the post-test and follow-up periods. For the control group, these figures were 52.47±17.2, 51.94±14.72, and 52.47±15.3, respectively. Based on the results of the two-way repeated measures ANOVA, there was a statistically significant difference in the mean score of resilience between the intervention and control groups at the three time points examined (P<0.001).

The implementation of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy can significantly improve the resilience of women experiencing spousal abuse. This intervention holds great potential for being incorporated into mental health improvement programs specifically designed for women who have experienced spousal abuse.

One of the manifestations of violence against women is spousal abuse. Due to patriarchy in Iranian societies, spousal abuse is mainly applied by men and against women in various forms.

The present study aimed to develop a model of experiencing spousal violence in women based on personality traits with a mediating role of psychological distress.

The present study is an applied-fundamental research in terms of aim and a descriptive, structural equations type research in terms of implementation. The study population consisted of all women referring to divorce counseling, welfare, social emergency and counseling centers in Sanandaj in 2021. Among them, 400 were selected using a convenience sampling method. The research instruments included the Spousal Abuse, Dark Personality Traits, Alexithymia and Psychological Distress questionnaires. SPSS-25 and SmartPLS-3.2.8 software was used to analyze the data.

The results showed that dark personality traits (β=0.351), alexithymia (β=0.168) and psychological distress (β=0.470) have direct and positive (p<0.001) impact on spousal abuse, and dark personality traits (β=0.198) and alexithymia (β=0.207) indirectly and through psychological distress (p<0.001) had a positive and significant effect on spousal abuse. The standardized root mean squared residual was 0.067, indicating a good fit of the model.

Women with high scores of alexithymia, dark personality traits and psychological distress are more likely to be abused by their husbands.

 This study aimed to examine the mediating role of cognitive emotion regulation in the relationship of early maladaptive schemas with spouse abuse.

 In this descriptive-correlational study, 324 married adults (226 females, 98 males) living in Tehran, Iran in 2017 were selected using a convenience sampling technique. They completed the revised Conflict Tactics Scales (CTS-2), the Young Scale Questionnaire-Short Form (YSQ-SF), and the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ). Collected data were analyzed using Pearson correlation test and Structural Equations Modeling (SEM) in AMOS software.

 The results of SEM showed a direct significant path from early maladaptive schemas to cognitive emotional regulation, and from cognitive emotional regulation to spouse abuse. There were also significant indirect paths from the first, second, and third domains of early maladaptive schemas to spouse abuse mediated by negative cognitive emotion regulation strategies with a path coefficients of 0.13, 0.16, and 0.13, respectively. The final structural model was a good-fitting model (X2/dF=1.595, Root Mean Square Error of Approximation = 0.045, Comparative Fit Index =0.953).

 The relationship between early maladaptive schemas and spouse abuse is not linear; it is mediated by cognitive emotion regulation.

From another perspective, which is based on the religious and traditional teachings of Muslims and Iranians, the results are considered very desirable because, in this perspective, men and women are considered interdependent. In this perspective, the woman has given up some of her husbandchr('39')s abuse and may tolerate some of her husbandchr('39')s abuse.
