Abstract

Purpose: Intimate partner violence is a global public health problem that mainly affects women rather than men. It has been associated with negative physical and mental health outcomes, including experiences of revictimization. This systematic review describes the risk and protective factors associated with revictimization in female victims of intimate partner violence. Methods: We searched for articles published between 1995 and 2024 in the Scopus, Web of Science, and PsycINFO databases. In total, 925 studies that met the inclusion criteria were reviewed, of which 38 were evaluated as eligible, and 12 were finally included in the review. Results: Among the risk factors were mental health problems, some demographic characteristics of the victims, previous experiences of violence, and coping and attachment styles. Economic independence, empowerment, and restraining orders were protective factors. Conclusions: Based on the results, we present some practical implications for health and public policy as well as recommendations for directing future research into revictimization.
