520 |a Purpose: There is a proliferation of research on the coping strategies of female survivors of abuse in some geographical contexts, but scholarship on this topic is uncommon in Ghana, even though many women experience life-long partner violence, and multiple overlapping factors hinder help-seeking. This study examined the coping strategies of female survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) in Ghana. Methods: We analysed 30 qualitative interviews with abused Ghanaian women in which survivors narrated their experiences, including coping techniques. Results: Our results indicated survivors employed several coping strategies, including support seeking, religion and spirituality, and retaliation and resistance. However, some coping behaviours, such as retaliation and resistance, can be maladaptive and lead to more significant risks and distress. Conclusion: Ghanaian policymakers must strengthen and enforce policies to protect women from IPV.
