Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の学術的意義は、DV被害者‐子ども‐支援現場の3者の実態の把握から、支援のあり方を検討したことにある。とりわけ、これまで日本では明らかになっていないDV被害者が経験する子育ての実態とストレングスを被害者のインタビューの分析から明らかにしたことは意義があると考える。
本研究の社会的意義は、研究結果をもとに支援者に支援方策を提供し実践の向上をはかり、DVにさらされている被害者と子どもの安全と福祉を高めることを目指したことである。研究結果を踏まえ、被害者のステージに応じた支援のあり方や支援の視点、面接ツールの開発を行い、多様な支援現場に新たなDV被害者支援の知見や方法を提示した。
