Impact of Interpersonal Relationship Psychotherapy on Psychosocial Health in Women Experiencing Intimate Partner Violence

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to evaluate the effect of an Interpersonal Relationship Psychotherapy-Based Intervention Program on the psychosocial well-being of female victims of intimate partner violence. The study focuses on understanding whether this program can improve interpersonal problems and mental well-being in women affected by such violence, addressing a critical gap in treatment options for this population. Participants in the intervention group will receive eight weekly individual psychotherapy sessions lasting 45 to 60 minutes each, designed to enhance interpersonal relationships and coping skills. A control group will continue with any existing medical or supportive care without additional intervention. The program duration spans approximately 2.5 to 3 months. During the study, participants will complete a series of assessments including the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems Circumplex Scales and Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale at multiple points during the second session, at the end of the eighth session, and within four weeks after the final session. Additional evaluations include the Beck Depression Inventory and program evaluation forms. These measures help monitor changes in interpersonal and mental health status throughout the study period.
