摘要：
This study examined partner abuse, mental health, and coping in a sample of African American women survivors of partner abuse (N = 126). The mediating effects of social support and spirituality, as culturally relevant factors in coping, on the relationships betzveen partner abuse and both depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms were investigated. Findings from hierarchical regression analysis indicated that PTSD symptoms remain significantly related to partner abuse after controlling for the effects of social support and spirituality. Findings point to practice and research implications regarding African American women survivors' mental health and ways of coping.
