Summary: This study investigated the coping strategies adopted by female victims of domestic violence in South Korea and identified factors associated with these strategies. The majority of women exhibited passive coping behaviors, such as doing nothing. Women who experienced feelings of intimidation or fear, sexual abuse, and physical injury were more likely to escape the violence. The findings highlight the need for multi-level comprehensive health programs, particularly for women who cope passively, to prevent and respond to domestic violence.

Summary: In Australia, domestic violence reports mostly rely on data from various sources such as the police, courts, hospitals, and surveys. However, there are information gaps regarding victim injuries, mental health status, and types of abuse. This study used text mining to analyze police-attended domestic violence event narratives and found valuable insights on mental health, abuse types, and victim injuries. The findings highlight the importance of extracting information from police narratives for addressing domestic violence as a significant public health problem.
