TY - JOUR PY - 2023// TI - Changes in psychiatric symptoms in Swedish mothers who took part in Project Support: an intervention for mothers exposed to intimate partner violence with children who have developed conduct problems JO - Violence against women A1 - Draxler, Helena A1 - Hjärthag, Fredrik A1 - Tillfors, Maria A1 - Almqvist, Kjerstin SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - Project Support (PS) is an evidence-based individual support and parenting program developed for mothers exposed to intimate partner violence (IPV) whose children have developed conduct disorders. This Swedish feasibility study focuses on changes in the mothers' psychiatric symptoms, in relation to social and emotional support received as part of PS. In a within-subject design in a naturalistic setting (i.e., 10 social service units), mothers (n = 35) reported a significant decrease in symptoms, but from an individual perspective, most mothers still suffered from clinical levels of psychiatric symptoms. The need for additional interventions for mothers exposed to IPV is discussed.
