Resumen
En este trabajo se analiza el impacto psicológico y la relevancia de los factores sociodemográficos en la salud de las mujeres maltratadas por su pareja. La muestra está formada por 86 mujeres de entre 19 y 67 años (edad media de 40,44 y desviación típica de 10,3) a las que se accedió a través de varios centros de asistencia e información del municipio de Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Encontramos que el 46,5% de las mujeres tenía trastorno de estrés postraumático y la mayoría presentaba síntomas de larga duración de ansiedad e insomnio, síntomas somáticos y depresión. Además, el 85% sentía indefensión. La inseguridad, el estilo de afrontamiento del maltrato de emocionalidad, la intensidad del maltrato psicológico y la baja autoestima predecían el trastorno de estrés postraumático.
Abstract: The present study examines the psychological impact and the relevance to health of sociodemographic factors in women abused by their partners. The sample was composed of 86 women (mean age = 40.44; SD = 10.3 and range 19-67) contacted through different Women’s Assistance and Information Centers in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. 46.5% of the women had a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder and most of the women had long lasting symptoms of anxiety and insomnia, somatic symptoms and depression. 85% of the women also reported helplessness. Post-traumatic stress disorder was predicted by insecurity, an emotional style of coping with abuse, the severity of psychological abuse and low selfesteem.
