Women with disabilities are at increased risk of interpersonal violence compared to women without disabilities. Little is known, however, about women with disabilities' experience accessing and participating in counseling and other mental health services during and following their victimization, particularly when living in a rural setting. This study involved qualitative interviews with 33 women with diverse disabilities who experienced interpersonal violence in rural communities. Researchers used thematic content analysis to identify three key themes from the findings: (a) experiences learning about mental health service options, (b) challenges to finding an appropriate "fit" and therapy approach, and (c) access barriers to mental health services. Participants emphasized the need for provider training specific to disability, the inclusion of people with disabilities more prominently in the mental health workforce, and the importance of advancements in accessible telemental health. We discuss implications for improving mental health services.

心理保健：人际暴力后农村残疾妇女的经历。

与非残疾妇女相比，残疾妇女遭受人际暴力的风险更高。然而，关于残疾妇女在受害期间和之后获得和参与咨询和其他心理健康服务的经验知之甚少，尤其是在农村环境中。本研究对 33 名在农村社区遭受人际暴力的各种残疾妇女进行了定性访谈。研究人员使用主题内容分析从调查结果中确定了三个关键主题：（a）学习心理健康服务选择的经验，（b）寻找合适的“适合”和治疗方法的挑战，以及（c）获得心理健康服务的障碍. 参与者强调需要针对残疾提供提供者培训，将残疾人更多地纳入心理健康劳动力，以及在无障碍远程心理健康方面取得进步的重要性。我们讨论了改善心理健康服务的意义。
