What this research studies
This research focuses on adapting the myPlan app, originally developed in the United States, to better support friends and family members of intimate partner violence (IPV) survivors in Thailand. The app aims to empower these supporters by providing tailored resources and guidance specific to the cultural context of Thailand. The research will involve two phases: first, customizing the app's content for Thai users, and second, testing its feasibility and acceptability among those who support IPV survivors. By engaging with the community, the project seeks to enhance the psychological well-being of both survivors and their support networks.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research include friends and family members of intimate partner violence survivors living in Thailand.
Not a fit: Patients who are not involved in supporting IPV survivors or who do not reside in Thailand may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could provide vital resources and support to friends and family members of IPV survivors, improving their ability to help and empower those in need.
How similar studies have performed: Previous adaptations of the myPlan app in other countries have shown promise, indicating that this approach could be effective in Thailand as well.
