TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - Gender-based violence, subjective quality of life, and mental health outcomes among Palestinian women: the mediating role of social support and agency JO - Violence against women A1 - Veronese, Guido A1 - Mahmid, Fayez Azez A1 - Bdier, Dana SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - We tested the association between gender-based violence (GBV), subjective quality of life, and mental distress manifested by anxiety, depression, and stress among Palestinian women exposed to political and military violence. Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale-21, Berlin Social Support Scales, WHO-5 subjective Quality of Life Scale, Women's Agency Scale 61, and Violence Against Women Questionnaire were administered to 332 purposely selected participants. Structural equation modeling was applied to address the study hypothesis. A conceptual model depicting GBV as a predictor, mental distress as an outcome variable, and agency and social support as mediators was confirmed.
