Studies on the ways in which women implement coping strategies to recover from intimate partner violence have primarily focused on Western, non-collectivistic societies. To contribute to the scant literature on coping strategies among women in traditional-collectivistic societies, the current study applied the principles of Clinical Ethnographic Narrative Interview to analyze the experiences of 15 Palestinian-Arab citizens of Israel as these women confronted violence within marriage. This exploration is situated within the backdrop of entrenched collectivistic traditional norms and the broader context of the enduring Israeli-Arab conflict. An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis revealed three themes that translated into a transformative three-phase coping model. The first theme covers navigating violent relationships through avoidance, emotional encapsulation, and cognitive reframing. The second theme describes strategies to mitigate violence and its consequences, including escapist and immediate departure, sustained fulfillment of duties, and maintaining hope amid adversity. The third theme characterizes strategies aimed at achieving self-care and self-empowerment. The findings highlight the importance of acknowledging women’s definition of coping and recovery within their cultural constraints as they chart their coping trajectories.

“成为我自己的支柱”：以色列的巴勒斯坦阿拉伯女性公民如何应对 I​​PV


关于妇女如何实施应对策略以从亲密伴侣暴力中恢复的研究主要集中在西方非集体主义社会。为了补充关于传统集体主义社会中妇女应对策略的文献很少，本研究应用临床民族志叙事访谈的原则来分析 15 名以色列巴勒斯坦阿拉伯公民在面临婚姻暴力时的经历。这一探索是在根深蒂固的集体主义传统规范和持久的以色列-阿拉伯冲突的更广泛背景下进行的。解释性现象学分析揭示了三个主题，转化为变革性的三阶段应对模型。第一个主题包括通过回避、情感封装和认知重构来应对暴力关系。第二个主题描述了减轻暴力及其后果的策略，包括逃避现实和立即离开、持续履行职责以及在逆境中保持希望。第三个主题的特点是旨在实现自我保健和自我赋权的策略。研究结果强调了在女性制定应对轨迹时承认其文化限制内的应对和恢复定义的重要性。
