Research is needed to support culturally informed interventions for diverse groups of survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV), such as immigrant women. Researchers, however, often face numerous barriers in recruiting and retaining immigrant survivors of IPV in intervention research. This qualitative study explored strategies to enhance recruitment and retention of immigrant survivors of IPV in intervention research from the perspective of immigrant survivors of IPV and providers serving immigrant women. Forty-six in-depth interviews were conducted with diverse groups of immigrant women (Africans, Asians, and Latinas) and 17 key informant interviews were conducted with providers serving immigrant women. The interviews focused on perceived facilitators and barriers to recruitment and retention including strategies to form partnerships with domestic violence organizations. Data were analyzed using systematic inductive thematic analysis. Participants identified barriers to recruitment such as fear of being judged, lack of familiarity with the recruiter, normalcy of abuse in some cultures, undocumented status, and fear related to legal implications of reporting IPV. Barriers to study retention included lack of motivation, time burden related to study participation, and emotional strain with recounting abuse experience. Participants also shared strategies to facilitate recruitment and retention such as engaging with the community, forming partnerships with domestic violence organizations, using recruiters with similar background and experiences as potential participants, using snowball sampling strategies, recruiting in locations frequently visited by immigrant survivors, providing adequate incentives, ensuring confidentiality, educating survivors about IPV, and conducting periodic check-ins throughout the study period. Findings can be useful for researchers conducting intervention studies with immigrant survivors of IPV.

对亲密伴侣暴力的移民幸存者进行干预研究:招募和保留的障碍和促进因素

需要开展研究以支持对不同的亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV) 幸存者群体(例如移民妇女)进行文化知情干预。然而,在干预研究中招募和留住 IPV 移民幸存者时,研究人员经常面临许多障碍。本定性研究从 IPV 移民幸存者和为移民妇女服务的提供者的角度探讨了在干预研究中加强招募和保留 IPV 移民幸存者的策略。对不同群体的移民妇女(非洲人、亚洲人和拉丁美洲人)进行了 46 次深入访谈,并对为移民妇女服务的提供者进行了 17 次关键知情人访谈。访谈的重点是招聘和留用的促进因素和障碍,包括与家庭暴力组织建立伙伴关系的策略。使用系统归纳主题分析对数据进行分析。参与者确定了招聘的障碍,例如害怕被评判、对招聘人员不熟悉、在某些文化中虐待的常态、无证身份以及与报告 IPV 的法律影响有关的恐惧。保留研究的障碍包括缺乏动力、与研究参与相关的时间负担,以及讲述虐待经历时的情绪紧张。参与者还分享了促进招聘和留用的策略,例如与社区互动、与家庭暴力组织建立伙伴关系、使用与潜在参与者具有相似背景和经验的招聘人员,使用滚雪球抽样策略,在移民幸存者经常访问的地点进行招聘,提供足够的激励措施,确保保密,对幸存者进行有关 IPV 的教育,并在整个研究期间进行定期检查。研究结果对于对 IPV 移民幸存者进行干预研究的研究人员可能很有用。
