To address this evidence gap, the current study analysed national data from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women\u2019s Health in relation to DV, psychological distress and potential risk factors for Australian women. Participants (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20094,156) completed a pre and post DV Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10), DV measure, and measures of low self-esteem, financial stress, area of residence and perceived social support. Linear regression and linear regression with interaction effects were utilised for the analyses. The study found that experiencing DV was associated with greater psychological distress after experiencing DV when compared to participants who did not experience DV (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">B<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20092.45, 95% CI [2.04, 2.86]). Risk factors of low self-esteem (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">B<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20091.04, 95% CI [0.28, 1.80]) and financial stress (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">B<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20091.52, 95% CI [0.26, 2.79]) were also associated with increased psychological distress after DV. However, contrary to expectations, there was no evidence that low social support (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">B<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20091.66, 95% CI [\u22120.66, 3.98]) or remote area of residence (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">B<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009\u22120.52, 95% CI [\u22121.97, 0.94]) increased psychological distress. These findings highlight a temporal order of events, with experiencing DV being related to higher psychological distress over several years, which may be exacerbated by low self-esteem and financial stress. Recommendations for policy development include adopting a holistic approach that considers supporting financial wellbeing and enhancing self-esteem for women after experiencing DV. Future research should investigate the role of social support and area of residence as factors associated with differing psychological distress outcomes for women who experience DV.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/08862605261441625","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,11]],"date-time":"2026-05-11T15:27:37Z","timestamp":1778513257000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Longitudinal Examination of Domestic Violence and Psychological Distress for Australian Women"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-2501-6541","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jemma","family":"Henderson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Newcastle, Callaghan, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0854-7444","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nicholas","family":"Egan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Newcastle, Callaghan, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jenny","family":"Bowman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Newcastle, Callaghan, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4745-8612","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Deborah","family":"Loxton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Newcastle, Callaghan, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Adams A.
