This study examines the relationships between Social Support and Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) among women living with HIV/AIDS. During the Jail of 2011, women living with H1V/A1DS and receiving services from AIDS Outreach Center located in the southwestern part of the United States were recruited to participate in a study through the purposive sampling method. They were asked to complete surveys about their H1V/AJDS diagnosis, the level of IPV experienced, and their level of social support. Sixty-jour women completed the Revised Conflict Tactic Scale (Straus et al., 1996), the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (Zimet et al., 1988), and a HIV/ AIDS Questionnaire. The majority (51.6%) of the research participants were African-Americans with a mean age. oj46years. Many women in the study were separated/divorced (34.4%); 29.7 % were married and 12.5% were cohabiting. Social support ((β = -.206, p<05) significantly predicted severity of emotional violence experienced by women living with HIV/AIDS.. This research emphasizes on the importance of teaching social work students about the co-occurrence of IPV and HIV/AIDS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
