简要总结
A recent report by the World Health Organization demonstrated that 30 % of women worldwide have been victims of intimate-partner violence (IPV). IPV is a public health problem thus it seems important to propose relevant care. It is difficult to carry out an effective therapy. Psychological care is based on cognitive abilities but these women have cognitive impairment. Few studies investigated their cognitive dysfunction. Investigators suggest in this study an exploration of the Self Defining Memories (SDM) which can highlight the loss of identity of these women and a new target of therapy.
详细描述
Intimate partner violence among women is associated to identity problems. Indeed, the victims have a poor self esteem and difficulties to express their own wishes. In this study investigators suggest an analysis of a type of memory, that is known to be essential, to profile an identity functioning: self-defining memories. To date, no study has explored SDM in women with IPV. The characteristics of the SDM in women victims of IPV will be compared to a group of women who has never been diagnosed in this situation. Those memories could be used in therapy. A French adaptation of the questionnaire proposed by Singer & Moffitt (1992) will be used (Berna et al., 2011a, 2011b) for the assessment of SDM.
Four elements will be study: specificity, meaning, content, affect.
The two groups will have two visits:
- the first to verify inclusion criteria and assessed psychotraumatic and depressive symptoms;
- the last to characterize the SDM.

结局指标
主要结局
Description of five Self Defining Memories.
时间窗: 7 to 10 days after inclusion visit
These memories are declined in four dimensions: specificity, content, meaning and emotional valence. Investigator will get a proportion of memories which are specific, which are negative, positive or neutral, which have an integrative meaning and which are associated to violence for IPV victims. The results of Self Defining Memories will be compared between a group of IPV victims and a control group.
次要结局
- Proportions of SDM whose content is associated with discomfort in IPV victims compared to those of control.(7 to 10 days after inclusion visit)
- Proportions of SDM whose emotional valence is associated with a feeling of redemption or contamination in IPV victims compared to those of control.(7 to 10 days after inclusion visit)
- Relationships between the 4 dimensions of SDM and psychotraumatic symptoms in IPV victims.(7 to 10 days after inclusion visit)
- Relationships between the 4 dimensions of SDM and depressive symptoms in IPV victims.(7 to 10 days after inclusion visit)
