abstract="In this study, linear mixed-effects regression analyses were used to examine whether sociodemographic variables, abuse-related variables, and well-being variables were associated with symptoms of depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in abused women residing in shelters. <br><br>RESULTS pointed out that symptoms of depression severity were positively associated with migration background and the experience of physical abuse and negatively associated with self-esteem and social support. PTSD symptoms were positively associated with the experience of sexual abuse and negatively associated with self-esteem. Within women's shelters, staff could be sensitive to improving the social integration of women, especially those with a non-Dutch background, and strengthening the women's social networks and their self-esteem.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
