Abstract

The primary objectives of this study were to determine the impact of the interim protection order (IPO) on the nature and extent of domestic violence, the general well-being of the victims of domestic violence, and the efficiency of the application procedure for the IPO. A pretest–posttest quasi-experimental research design was used on an experimental (n = 884) and a control (n = 125) group. The results indicated that the IPO had a significant impact on certain aspects of physical, psychological, and social well-being and in some areas of domestic violence. The IPO did not have a significant impact on the participants’ experiences of their personal, communal, environmental, and transcendental well-being. Application procedures were found to be satisfactory in most areas. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) (journal abstract)
