DELGADILLO GUZMAN, Leonor Guadalupe et al. Effects of partner violence in migrant women. Civilizar [online]. 2013, vol.13, n.24, pp.103-116. ISSN 1657-8953.

This study analyzes the relationship between partner violence, depression and maternal self-efficacy in migrant women. It is thought that this type of violence brings about sinking morale and a hindrance for their development as mothers. It is a quantitative study of an explanatory correlational type, worked with 40 immigrant women with a residence of two to 25 years, with at least one reported episode of violation and at least one son in preschool. Three instruments were employed: "The Parental Involvement and Efficacy", "The Survey-Depression Scale" and "The Revised Conflict Tactic Scale". The results showed important relationships between the variables, namely, the more violence women suffer, the greater the depression is, and the greater the depression is, the lesser the maternal self-efficacy becomes.
