Title: Women’s, interaction between trauma and alcohol

Abstract:

Women appear to be more vulnerable than men to many adverse consequences of alcohol use. Women achieve higher concentrations of alcohol in the blood and become more impaired than men after drinking equivalent amounts of alcohol. Research also suggests that women are more susceptible than men to alcohol-related organ damage and to trauma resulting from traffic crashes and interpersonal violence. This Alcohol Alert examines gender differences in alcohol's effects and considers some factors that may place women at risk for alcohol-related problems.

So the case of intimate partner violence (IPV) is at greater risk for physical and mental health problems including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and alcohol dependency. On their own IPV, PTSD, and alcohol dependency result in significant personal, social, and economic costs and the impact of all three may compound these costs.

Evidence suggests that alcohol use increases the occurrence and severity of domestic violence (6,7,8). ... Alcohol use directly affects cognitive and physical function, reducing self-control and leaving individuals less capable of negotiating a non-violent resolution to conflicts within relationships..

The purpose of this study is to describe the experience of seeking help for alcohol dependency by women with PTSD and a history of IPV in the context in which it occurs. Methodology & Theoretical Orientation: An intersubjective ethnographic study using hermeneutic dialogue was utilized during participant observation, in-depth interviews, and focus groups. An ecological framework was utilized to focus on the interaction between the counselors and the staff to understand these relationships and the context in which it occurs.

Conclusion & Significance:

Women whose husbands drank alcohol were twice as likely to suffer from domestic violence, compared to those women whose husbands did not drink (AOR = 2.12; 95% CI: 1.4–3.2), independently of their socio-demographic status. So the  result is Like a big circle of interactions between alcohol dependency of male and female one is action and the other is the reaction
