A Psychosocial Intervention to Enhance Psychological Empowerment Among Women Survivors of Intimate Partner Violence: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Overview
This randomized controlled trial examines a structured psychosocial group intervention designed to enhance psychological empowerment among women survivors of intimate partner violence in Iran. The study compares an eight-session cognitive restructuring program against a control group, measuring outcomes such as competence, self-determination, and trust. While the authors report significant post-intervention gains in empowerment domains, they caution that the small sample size and posttest-only design limit the interpretability of these findings.
