Popis: Little empirical research exists on the relationship between disaster and IPV among older adults. Survivors of “non-disaster” IPV are frequently able to recover, but clear information is lacking on recovery mechanisms of older adults. The extant literature on recovery mechanisms for victims doesn’t address the same issues for older IPV survivors in the aftermath of disaster. Given the disruption caused by disasters to every aspect of daily living, this study sought to identify the resilience characteristics of survivors in the aftermath of disaster and IPV. The risk and resilience ecological framework guided the study (Corcoran and Nichols-Casebolt, 2004).
