This study examines the nature of perceived needs of women victims of intimate partner violence (IPV) and their association with social demographic characteristics and self-reported mental health symptoms. The study uses data from case records of women victims of IPV (n = 154) seeking help from a victim assistance program housed within city police station located in the southwest, United States. The majority of the women in this study reported needs related to counseling, protection orders, Crime Victims' Compensation Rights, legal services, and Temporary Aid for Needy Families. Findings also indicate that perceived needs of women were significantly associated with self-reported mental health symptoms. Some needs had a stronger relationship to women's mental health symptoms than others. Overall these findings suggest that it is imperative to emphasize responses that can address all the needs of women (in addition to stopping IPV) to reduce mental health symptoms.

受虐待的妇女决定从受害者援助计划中寻求帮助时：她们的感知需要和自我报告的心理健康症状。

这项研究检查了亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）的女性受害者的感知需求的性质以及其与社会人口特征和自我报告的心理健康症状的关系。该研究使用了来自IPV女受害者（n = 154）的案例记录中的数据，这些案例是从位于美国西南部城市警察局的受害者援助计划寻求帮助的。这项研究中的大多数妇女报告了与咨询，保护令，犯罪受害者的补偿权，法律服务以及有需要的家庭的临时援助有关的需求。研究结果还表明，妇女的感知需求与自我报告的心理健康症状显着相关。与其他需求相比，某些需求与妇女的心理健康症状之间存在更强的关系。
