Resilience and Recovery After Intimate Partner Violence - Evaluation of the EMBER-IPV Protocol (EMBER-3)

18 maggio 2026 aggiornato da: Uppsala University
The EMBER-protocol is an intervention used at the NCK clinic at Uppsala University Hospital with the purpose of helping women utilize their resilience and strengths in order to recover after intimate partner violence. This study is conducted in order to explore how health and resilience changes during the course of the EMBER-intervention. The participants are asked to complete questionnaires before, during and after the intervention.

Panoramica dello studio

Descrizione dettagliata

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a complex problem with extensive consequences for the individual as well as on a societal scale. In Sweden, there is a lack of accessible, cohesive, evidence-based models for biopsychosocial healthcare of survivors of IPV. A resilience-based intervention, the EMBER-protocol, has been developed at National Center for Knowledge on Men's Violence against Women (NCK) in Uppsala, Sweden. Based on cognitive behavior therapy and resilience research, the EMBER-protocol targets factors that have been found relevant for posttraumatic recovery and reorientation after IPV. The aim is to increase well-being and recovery, i.e. increase healthy functioning and reduce mental health symptoms in women who have been subjected to IPV. The protocol is conceptually divided into a stabilizing (A), a processing (B) and a reorienting (C) phase. This study is part of the EMBER-IPV-project, which purpose is to evaluate the effectiveness of the EMBER-protocol, focusing on phases A and C, which are carried out by midwives and nurses. The research question in EMBER-3 is:

How do the subjects´ self-assessed levels of the following variables change during the course of the intervention: Well-being, Resilience, Health (general, somatic, mental, sexual and social), Stress and Shame? Data will be collected by self-assessment questionnaires at start and completion of phase A, at start, after completion of 0, 2 and 4 group sessions in phase B, as well as 6 weeks and 6 months post-group-intervention in phase C. Data will be analyzed with t-test and mixed effects models.

Women Subjected to Intimate Partner Violence
Women who are enrolled at the NCK Outpatient Clinic at Uppsala University Hospital due to having been subjected to Intimate Partner Violence and Abuse within the past 2 years, taking part of the standard intervention at the clinic. The target is to have 100 participants in two different phases of the intervention (phase A and C). Due to the fact that not all patients who take part of phase A will continue to phase C, additional participants will be recruited in order to reach the goal of n=100 in each of the two phases.
A Resilience-Focused Intervention based on the Resilience Portfolio Model.
