Intimate Partner Homicide (IPH) is one of the leading causes of death for women in the United States. Recent research has identified the strongest risk markers for IPH from quantitative studies, but there is still a need to synthesize what is known about IPH from qualitative studies. Additionally, few studies have examined perpetrator-reported motivations for IPH, along with victim's and co-victims' experiences of attempted or completed IPH. In order to synthesize the current qualitative literature surrounding motivations and risk factors for IPH, a thematic qualitative synthesis was conducted. This qualitative synthesis included 20 studies that examined IPH risk factors, motivations, and other pertinent themes related to IPH. Some of the most prevalent reported motivations for committing IPH were loss of control, jealousy, relationship termination, and a history of intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization (i.e., self-defense). A few of the most common risk factors for IPH found in the qualitative literature included previous IPV, coercive control, and the victim underestimating danger/lethality. It is important for both clinicians and law enforcement to know more about IPH so that that they are able to assess situations effectively.

检查未遂和已完成的亲密伴侣杀人案：定性综合

亲密伴侣杀人案（IPH）是美国女性死亡的主要原因之一。最近的研究已经从定量研究中确定了IPH的最强风险标记，但是仍然需要综合从定性研究中对IPH的了解。此外，很少有研究检查犯罪者报告的IPH动机，以及受害者和被害人尝试或完成IPH的经历。为了综合有关IPH动机和风险因素的现有定性文献，进行了主题定性综合。该定性综合研究包括20项研究，检查了IPH的危险因素，动机以及与IPH相关的其他相关主题。据报道，实施IPH的一些最普遍动机是失去控制，嫉妒，关系终止，以及亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）受害的历史（即自卫）。定性文献中发现的一些最常见的IPH危险因素包括以前的IPV，强制控制以及受害者低估了危险/致命性。对于临床医生和执法人员来说，重要的是要了解IPH，以便他们能够有效地评估情况。
