    Resilience and associated factors in women survivors of Intimate Partner Violence: a systematic review
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2022) Fernández Álvarez, Natalia; Fontanil, Yolanda; Alcedo, Ángeles
    Most research on Intimate Partner Violence against women (IPV) has tended to present women as passive victims, but in recent years, there has been an increase in studies adopting a strengths-based approach. The aim of the present study is to review the empirical literature about re-silience in women survivors of IPV to (a) analyze the consensus on the definition and assessment of resilience; (b) study the correlates of resilience; and (c) reflect on the applicability of such knowledge in policies and pro-fessional practice. Following PRISMA guidelines, a systematic search was carried out in the Scopus, WoS and PsycINFO databases. The search yield-ed 42 articles published in English or Spanish over an unlimited timeframe. Results showed that process-oriented, trait-oriented, and outcomes-oriented definitions of resilience were all adopted in the research and that assessment methods also differed across studies. Individual, relational, and contextual factors were found as resilience correlates. There is a need for a theoretical consensus and for research on the mecha-nisms through which vulnerability or protective factors exert their influ-ence on groups with specific risk conditions. Finally, governments and in-stitutions should take actions to support women and children and to pre-vent future IPV.
