Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a pressing public health issue affecting women worldwide. Thirty percent of women experience some form of violence throughout their lifetime globally, and South Asian countries have a higher prevalence of IPV (33%–51%). Notably, IPV has detrimental psychological impacts not only on women but also on their children. Despite this, limited empirical attention has explored protective factors for IPV trauma recovery. This review examines protective factors aiding South Asian immigrant IPV survivors’ trauma recovery using Joanna Briggs Institute JBI methodology. The study draws on PubMed, Scopus, and PsychINFO data, resulting in 20 articles retrieved using Rayyan software. Protective factor’s themes and subthemes revealed in the literature operated at multiple levels, including personal, interpersonal, community, and professional factors. Personal factors were selfhood, collective self, and adaptation, as well as those that enabled the utilization of interpersonal, community, and professional factors; interpersonal factors were family and friends, children as motivators, and religion; and community and professional factors were resources and technology usage. Immigrant status and culture significantly impacted the protective factors, acting as barriers among some IPV survivors. Therefore, future research should focus on exploring the experiences and cultural values of South Asian immigrant women with other influencing factors that may hinder the development and impact of protective factors on IPV trauma recovery. These findings can help design culturally sensitive support services that incorporate the unique needs of female South Asian immigrant IPV survivors.

影响南亚女性移民亲密伴侣暴力幸存者创伤康复的保护因素：范围界定审查

亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）是影响全世界女性的一个紧迫的公共卫生问题。全球 30% 的女性一生都会经历某种形式的暴力，而南亚国家的 IPV 患病率较高 (33%–51%)。值得注意的是，IPV 不仅对妇女而且对其子女都有有害的心理影响。尽管如此，对 IPV 创伤恢复的保护因素的实证关注有限。本综述使用乔安娜布里格斯研究所 JBI 方法研究了帮助南亚移民 IPV 幸存者创伤恢复的保护因素。该研究利用了 PubMed、Scopus 和 PsychINFO 数据，使用 Rayyan 软件检索到了 20 篇文章。文献中揭示的保护因素的主题和副主题在多个层面上运作，包括个人、人际、社区和职业因素。个人因素包括自我、集体自我和适应，以及能够利用人际、社区和专业因素的因素；人际因素包括家人和朋友、作为激励因素的孩子以及宗教；社区和专业因素是资源和技术的使用。移民身份和文化对保护因素产生了显着影响，成为一些 IPV 幸存者的障碍。因此，未来的研究应重点探讨南亚移民女性的经历和文化价值观以及其他可能阻碍IPV创伤康复保护因素发展和影响的因素。这些发现有助于设计具有文化敏感性的支持服务，纳入南亚女性移民 IPV 幸存者的独特需求。
