| Résumé |
This study examines effects of psychological, physical, and sexual
intimate partner violence (IPV) to alcohol and drug problems
through anxiety and posttraumatic stress symptom severity among 143
community women currently experiencing IPV. Anxiety and
posttraumatic stress symptom severity had unique effects on alcohol
and drug problems. Higher anxiety symptom severity and higher
physical IPV severity were associated with greater alcohol and drug
problems. Higher posttraumatic stress symptom severity was
associated with greater alcohol and drug problems. Mediation
analyses indicated (a) significant indirect pathways of IPV types
to alcohol problems through posttraumatic stress symptom severity
controlling for anxiety symptom severity, and (b) significant
indirect pathways of IPV types to drug problems through anxiety
symptom severity controlling for posttraumatic stress symptom
severity. In examining the indirect pathways of psychological,
physical, and sexual IPV to substance use problems this study
highlights that anxiety and posttraumatic stress symptom severity
have unique effects on alcohol and drug problems among women
experiencing IPV. |
