Doctoral Academy & University Prize Scholarships
Project Details: The experience of intimate partner violence (IPV), especially when long-term, can have a negative impact on the quality of life of the person abused. Such experiences may also affect sexual relationships and intimacy of those who remain in the relationship or move on to develop a relationship with a new partner.
The experience of intimacy and sexual relationships in people who have experienced IPV, who are aged 50 and older, is an area that requires further exploration. The proposed project will explore such experiences in older people from diverse ethnic backgrounds.
The study will be conducted using a qualitative or mixed method approach. Findings of the study will help to develop our understanding of the experiences and perceptions of older people about impact of past IPV exposure. The findings will also have important implications for healthcare practice, helping to tailor age and culturally appropriate services and support.
Entry Requirements
