What this trial studies
This single-site observational project interviews 30 women enrolled in the EMBER intervention at the NCK outpatient clinic at Uppsala University Hospital. Researchers conduct one-hour, in-person, semi-structured interviews about each participant's life situation, self-perceived needs, resilience, and views on how the intervention met those needs. Interviews are audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed thematically to identify common perceptions and gaps. The goal is to understand patient experience across different stages of contact with the clinic and diverse backgrounds.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the findings could help the clinic better align the resilience-based program with patients' needs and improve support for women after partner violence.
How similar studies have gone: Similar qualitative studies have been used to refine services, and some resilience-based programs for intimate partner violence report promising patient-reported outcomes, though large controlled outcome trials are limited.
