Growing Up with Intimate Partner Violence at Home: Adolescents’ Narratives on Their Coping Strategies. Journal of Family Violence, 1-12.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8741549/http://hdl.handle.net/11212/2528Purpose The research on adolescents who have grown up around intimate partner violence (IPV) between their parents or caregivers has mostly focused on adolescent’s victimization experiences and the negative impact of this type of violence on their mental health. More research is needed on how they respond to these experiences. The aim of this study is to understand adolescents’ coping strategies regarding IPV between their parents or caregivers, from their perspectives. Methods The participants were ten adolescents between 12 and 17 years old (4 female and 6 male), users of protection programs in Chile. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, using thematic narrative analysis afterward. Results The results show seven coping strategies: intervention, social support seeking, protective role, positive resignification, hypervigilance, escape-avoidance, and denial. The narratives of the adolescents indicate that they face not only specific episodes of IPV but also the consequences and family dynamics that accompany this type of violence. Conclusion Adolescents’ coping strategies can be organized in a continuum of IPV integration-distancing, based on the degree and form of involvement in the experience. Growing up with IPV at home demands an early development of the sense of agency and taking a position in the face of violence, transitioning between active and victim roles.en-USIntimate Partner ViolenceInternational ResourcesChilecopinginterventionGrowing Up with Intimate Partner Violence at Home: Adolescents’ Narratives on Their Coping Strategiesarticle
