OBJECTIVE: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a major public health concern with long-lasting psychological consequences for women survivors. The present randomized controlled trial examined the effectiveness of a structured psychosocial intervention in enhancing psychological empowerment as a mechanism of recovery among women who had experienced IPV in Iran.
METHODS: A randomized controlled trial with a posttest-only design and a 50-day follow-up was conducted on 28 women survivors of IPV, who were randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. The intervention consisted of eight 90-minute group sessions focused on cognitive restructuring and strengthening internal psychological resources. Psychological empowerment was assessed using a validated multidimensional instrument measuring competence, impact, meaning, self-determination, and trust. Data were analyzed using ANCOVA, MANCOVA, and paired-sample t-tests, with age included as a covariate.
RESULTS: At post-test, the intervention group showed significantly higher psychological empowerment across all domains compared to the control group, including competence (F = 26.31, p < 0.001, η2 = 0.51), impact (F = 21.97, p < 0.001, η2 = 0.46), meaning (F = 33.25, p < 0.001, η2 = 0.57), trust (F = 20.16, p < 0.001, η2 = 0.44), and self-determination (F = 39.12, p < 0.001, η2 = 0.61). However, no statistically significant differences were observed between post-test and follow-up in the intervention group across all dimensions (all p > 0.05), indicating that gains were not significantly different at follow-up.
CONCLUSION: The findings suggest that structured psychosocial interventions may enhance psychological empowerment among women survivors of intimate partner violence. However, given the small sample size and posttest-only design, the results should be interpreted with caution. These interventions show promise as a supportive clinical approach, but further studies with larger samples and more rigorous designs are needed to confirm their effectiveness and generalizability.
