dc.description.abstractThis capstone project addresses the escalating threat of technology-facilitated intimate partner violence (TFIPV) by investigating consequences of TFIPV victimization on women. The same digital technologies that enrich modern life are increasingly leveraged by perpetrators of intimate partner violence (IPV) to exert coercive control and inflict harm. This study was guided by the research question: “What are the emotional and psychological consequences of TFIPV on adult women?” The objective was to thoroughly investigate and synthesize current academic literature to deepen professional understanding of this complex phenomenon. A systematic thematic literature review was conducted, involving a critical assessment of methodological rigor across various studies. The literature revealed four critical themes concerning the emotional and psychological experiences of survivors: the impact of perpetrator omnipresence, adverse mental health outcomes, disenfranchised grief and loss, and the complex coping strategies survivors employed to navigate through victimization. These findings underscore the necessity of professional understanding of TFIPV and employing trauma-informed and survivor-led approaches in clinical practice and safety planning. The author suggests utilizing support groups for healing and recommends future quantitative research on mental health symptomology, diverse demographics, and coping strategy factors. This Capstone is offered with the hope of inspiring advocacy and creating a path toward greater recognition and support for those impacted by technology-facilitated violence.
