Neuropsychological profile of women victims of intimate partner violence

Intimate partner violence is a problem that mainly affects women. Some studies have shown that there are neuropsychological effects in women who have been victims of violence. These changes can occur due to head injuries, or as a result of psychopathologies that victims usually experience such as depression, Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Despite the fact that violence against women is a national and international problem, there is not enough evidence about the neuropsychological effects of violence on women. The objective of this research is to analyze the cognitive performance of women who have been victims of intimate partner violence in the last year. Cognitive performance was assessed through the Brief Neuropsychological Evaluation in Spanish-NEUROPSI, and the presence of psychopathological symptoms with the use of Beck depression inventory II, mexican version of Beck's anxiety inventory and post traumatic stress disorder checklist for DSM-5. To later compare the results at intra-group level and determine the characteristics of the sample. A strong negative correlation (-.639) was found between PTSD and TFE. Finally, a Mann-Whitney U for the TFE, where the grouping variable was the absence or presence of PTSD, a significant difference was found in favor of the group without PTSD (p=.007). Knowing the cognitive performance of women who have experienced violence will make important contributions that would impact on care to victims in both health and legal areas.

La violencia de pareja es un problema que afecta principalmente a las mujeres. Algunos estudios han demostrado que existen alteraciones neuropsicológicas en las víctimas. Dichos cambios se pueden presentar a consecuencia de los traumatismos craneoencefálicos, o a consecuencia de psicopatologías que suelen presentar las víctimas como depresión, trastorno de ansiedad generalizada (TAG) y trastorno de estrés postraumático (TEPT). A pesar de que la violencia hacia la mujer es un problema a nivel nacional e internacional, no se cuenta con suficiente evidencia acerca de las alteraciones neuropsicológicas de la violencia en mujeres. El objetivo de la presente investigación es analizar el rendimiento cognitivo en mujeres que han sido víctimas de violencia de pareja en el último año. Se evaluó el desempeño cognitivo mediante la evaluación neuropsicológica breve en español-NEUROPSI, y la presencia de síntomas psicopatológicos con el uso de el inventario de depresión de Beck II, versión mexicana del inventario de ansiedad de Beck y lista checable de trastorno por estrés postraumático para DSM-5, para posteriormente comparar los resultados a nivel intragrupal y determinar las características de la muestra. Se observó una correlación negativa fuerte (-.639) entre TEPT y la puntuación Total de Funciones Ejecutivas (TFE). Finalmente se realizó una U de Mann-Whitney para el TFE, donde la variable de agrupación fue la ausencia o presencia de TEPT, se encontró diferencia significativa a favor del grupo sin TEPT (p= .007). Conocer el desempeño cognitivo de mujeres que han vivido violencia permitirá hacer aportes importantes que impactarían en la atención a víctimas tanto en el área de la salud como en la legal.
