Healing after gender-based violence (GBV) is multidimensional, with varying instruments used in the scientific literature to capture this phenomenon quantitively in survivor populations. The purpose of this scoping review was to (a) describe quantitative measures used to evaluate recovery after GBV, (b) compare these findings with domains uncovered in a qualitative metasynthesis about survivors’ perspectives about healing after GBV, and (c) summarize recovery relationships found. We searched Pubmed, PsycInfo, and Violence/Criminology/Family Studies Abstracts. Studies were included for review if they (a) used quantitative methods, (b) evaluated healing or recovery in survivors of GBV, (c) were available in English, and (d) were empirical articles in peer-reviewed journals. Two thousand nine hundred thirty-five articles were reviewed by title and abstract, and 92 articles were reviewed by full text. Twenty-six articles were included in this review. Eight studies used an alleviation of adverse symptomology as a proxy for recovery, eight used growth-related outcomes, and ten used a combination of both types of measures. While the quantitative instruments synthesized in this review seemed to map onto some of the recovery domains identified through qualitative metasynthesis, no study synthesized measured all domains simultaneously. Studies synthesized identified that recovery-related outcomes may be influenced by social support, symptom burden, disclosure, and various therapeutic intervention programs tested in the literature to date. Synthesizing research on recovery after GBV is an essential step to understand gaps in measurement and understanding. Streamlining and using holistic recovery outcome measurement can aid in the development of evidence-based interventions to promote healing in survivor populations.

衡量性别暴力后的治愈和恢复：范围界定审查


性别暴力（GBV）后的治愈是多维的，科学文献中使用不同的工具来定量捕捉幸存者群体中的这一现象。本次范围界定审查的目的是（a）描述用于评估 GBV 后恢复的定量措施，（b）将这些发现与关于幸存者对 GBV 后康复的观点的定性荟萃分析中发现的领域进行比较，以及（c）总结恢复关系成立。我们检索了 Pubmed、PsycInfo 和暴力/犯罪学/家庭研究摘要。如果研究（a）使用定量方法，（b）评估 GBV 幸存者的愈合或恢复情况，（c）有英文版本，并且（d）是同行评审期刊上的实证文章，则纳入审查。按标题和摘要审阅 2935 篇文章，按全文审阅 92 篇文章。本次综述纳入了 26 篇文章。八项研究使用不良症状的缓解作为恢复的指标，八项研究使用与生长相关的结果，十项研究结合使用了两种类型的措施。虽然本次综述中综合的定量工具似乎映射到通过定性综合综合确定的一些恢复领域，但没有综合研究同时测量所有领域。综合研究发现，与康复相关的结果可能受到社会支持、症状负担、披露以及迄今为止文献中测试的各种治疗干预计划的影响。对 GBV 后的恢复进行综合研究是了解衡量和理解方面差距的重要一步。 简化和使用整体恢复结果测量可以帮助制定基于证据的干预措施，以促进幸存者群体的康复。
