RT Article T1 Composite Experiences of Intimate Partner Violence in Women: A Qualitative Meta-Synthesis JF Victims & offenders VO 19 IS 6 SP 1208 OP 1225 A1 Park, Sihyun A2 Kim, Sin-Hyang LA English YR 2024 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/1898842477 AB This study explored the composite experiences of women subjected to intimate partner violence (IPV) by applying a qualitative meta-synthesis approach. A systematic review identified 44 studies, conducted across 27 countries from 1996 to 2022, for inclusion in the analysis. Three core themes emerged characterizing the comprehensive experiences of women enduring IPV: 1) experiencing violence as a form of ownership, 2) feeling powerless in a society that condones violence, and 3) suffering oppression in a male-dominated society. The findings predominantly reflect a feminist perspective, suggesting that IPV stems from patriarchal structures that perpetuate male dominance, power, and control over women.
