Identifying Intersectional Complex Practice Behaviours in IPV Services for Marginalized Women

This study aims to identify the level of alignment between competent GBV work as identified in literature and by current service providers. Identifying areas of alignment and difference allows for developing theory-based practice informed by literature and highlights potentially unexplored areas of research. The study does this through thematic coding of interviews with GBV service providers across Canada, and coding of practice-based behaviour items constructed from current literature. Interview analysis revealed eleven themes of behaviour which were compared with ten themes developed from the coding of 140 literature documents. Triangulation from interviews and literature found that, of the eleven themes identified from interviews, ten matched with themes identified with the literature. The differences observed imply that there is a need for comprehensive theory informing practice in areas like Indigeneity, and honour-based violence. It also highlights the possibility of introducing the role of motherhood into research being done in the sector.
