A national implementation of a community-based intervention for mothers experiencing Violence in Relationships.
Journal of family psychology : JFP : journal of the Division of Family Psychology of the American Psychological Association (Division 43), 2020Co-Authors: Naomi C. Z. Andrews, Mary Motz, Debra PeplerAbstract:interpersonal Violence is a significant concern for families; thus interventions to support vulnerable mothers and children experiencing Violence are essential. The purpose of this study was to present preliminary evaluation results from the national dissemination of an interpersonal Violence intervention for mothers delivered in community-based programs across Canada. in 18 communities, 184 mothers participated in the intervention. Mothers reported on measures related to the self, Relationships, parenting, and knowledge of community services, both before and after the intervention. Mothers comprised a high-risk, vulnerable population. Results indicated feasibility and acceptability, based on a high proportion of intervention completers and high levels of satisfaction. Women reported improvements in self-esteem, self-efficacy, relationship capacity, parenting stress, knowledge of community services, and understanding of relevant concepts compared to before the intervention (with small to medium effects). Additional analyses supported some of these findings as particularly robust. We discuss the importance of community-based projects in reaching diverse families, sustaining engagement with high levels of satisfaction, and supporting mothers in making changes relating to themselves, their Relationships, and their parenting.

Using a Developmental-Relational Approach to Understand the Impact of interpersonal Violence in Women Who Struggle with Substance Use.
International journal of environmental research and public health, 2019Co-Authors: Naomi C. Z. Andrews, Mary Motz, Bianca C. Bondi, Margaret Leslie, Debra PeplerAbstract:Substance use among women is a major public health concern. This review article takes a developmental-relational approach to examine processes through which early relational trauma and Violence in Relationships may lead to substance use. We examine how early exposure to Violence in Relationships can impact neurological development, specifically through interference with physiological mechanisms (e.g., the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis), brain structure and functioning (e.g., the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex), and neuropsychological development (e.g., executive functioning and emotion regulation) across the lifespan. Further, we discuss the impact of exposure to Violence on the development of relational capacity, including attachment, internal working models, and subsequent interpersonal Relationships across the lifespan, and how these developmental pathways can lead to continued problematic substance use in women.

Addressing the Impact of interpersonal Violence in Women Who Struggle with Substance Use Through Developmental-Relational Strategies in a Community Program.
International journal of environmental research and public health, 2019Co-Authors: Mary Motz, Naomi C. Z. Andrews, Bianca C. Bondi, Margaret Leslie, Debra PeplerAbstract:From a developmental–relational framework, substance use in women can be understood as relating to early experiences of Violence in Relationships and across development. This article uses a developmental-relational approach to outline specific strategies that can be used by service providers and to guide interventions for women with substance use issues. By reviewing research and clinical work with women attending a community-based prevention and early intervention program, we describe how specific components of programming can target the developmental and intergenerational pathway between experiences of Violence in Relationships and substance use. We include the voices of women who attended the program to support the strategies discussed. Specifically, these strategies address the impact of interpersonal Violence on substance use by promoting the process of repair and reintegration for women whose neurological development, sense of self, and capacity to form Relationships have been significantly impacted by experiences of Violence in Relationships.

“As a Young Pregnant Girl… The Challenges You Face”: Exploring the intersection Between Mental Health and Sexual and Reproductive Health Amongst Adolescent Girls and Young Women in South Africa
AIDS and Behavior, 2021Co-Authors: Zoe Duby, Tracy Mcclinton Appollis, Kim Jonas, Kealeboga Maruping, Janan Dietrich, Ashleigh Lovette, Caroline Kuo, Lieve Vanleeuw, Catherine MathewsAbstract:in South Africa, adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) are at risk of poor mental health, HIV infection and early pregnancy. Poor mental health in AGYW is associated with increased sexual risk behaviours, and impeded HIV testing and care. Using in-depth interviews and focus group discussions, we explored subjective experiences of mental health and sexual and reproductive health (SRH) amongst 237 AGYW aged 15–24 years in five South African districts. Respondents shared narratives of stress, emotional isolation, feelings of depression, and suicidal ideation, interconnected with HIV, pregnancy and Violence in Relationships. Findings show that AGYW in South Africa face a range of mental health stressors and lack sufficient support, which intersect with SRH challenges to heighten their vulnerability. Framed within the syndemic theory, our findings suggest that South African AGYW’s vulnerability towards early pregnancy, HIV infection and poor mental health are bidirectional and interconnected. Considering the overlaps and interactions between mental health and SRH amongst AGYW, it is critical that mental health components are integrated into SRH interventions.

'Universidad de Cuenca', 2020Co-Authors: García Alvarez, Wilson MartínAbstract:El propósito del presente estudio es identificar el nivel de interiorización de estereotipos de género, sexismo y violencia en las relaciones de pareja de los y las estudiantes de las Facultades de Jurisprudencia y Filosofía de la Universidad de Cuenca. Se realizó una investigación de tipo cuantitativa, descriptiva-correlacional con 649 estudiantes. Para obtener la información se aplicó el Cuestionario sobre interiorización de los estereotipos de género elaborado por Colás y Villaciervos (2010), el inventario de Sexismo Ambivalente ASI (Cárdenas et al., 2010) y la Versión Modificada de la Escala de Tácticas para los Conflictos (Muñoz-Rivas et al., 2007). Se obtuvo como resultado que hombres y mujeres presentan mayor nivel de interiorización de estereotipos de género en las dimensiones de comportamiento social (53,2%) y expresión afectiva (44,5%). Con respecto al nivel de sexismo benévolo se obtuvo un porcentaje general de 31,8% y 39% para sexismo hostil. Con respecto al nivel de violencia en las relaciones de pareja se obtuvo que la argumentación verbal prevalece por encima de otras formas de violencia. Se establece que existen diferencias significativas entre hombres y mujeres con respecto a la interiorización de estereotipos de género en cuerpo, expresión afectiva y responsabilidad social en las que los hombres presentan mayor nivel de estereotipos de género. En el tema de sexismo, los hombres presentan un mayor nivel sexismo benévolo y hostil que las mujeres. Y con respecto a la violencia en las relaciones de pareja se visualiza mayor agresión física grave por parte de los varones.The purpose of this study is to identify the level of internalization of gender stereotypes, sexism and Violence in the students` Relationships from the Jurisprudence and Philosophy Faculties of the University of Cuenca. A quantitative, descriptive-correlational research was conducted with a sample of 649 students. To obtain the information, it was applied the Questionnaire on internalization of gender stereotypes prepared by Colás and Villaciervos (2010), the ASI Ambivalent Sexism inventory (Cárdenas et al., 2010) and the Modified Version of the Tactics Scale for Conflicts (Muñoz-Rivas et al., 2007). As a result, men and women obtained a higher level of internalization of gender stereotypes in the dimensions of social behavior (53.2%) and affective expression (44.5%). With respect to the level of benevolent sexism, a general percentage of 31.8% and 39% was obtained for hostile sexism. With respect to the level of Violence in Relationships, it was obtained that verbal argumentation prevails over other forms of Violence. It is established that there are significant differences between men and women regarding the internalization of gender stereotypes in the body, affective expression and social responsibility in which men have a higher level of gender stereotypes. On the issue of sexism, men have a higher level of benevolent and hostile sexism than women. And with respect to the Violence of couple Relationships, greater physical aggression is seen on men.Magíster en Género, Desarrollo, Salud Sexual y ReproductivaCuenc
