ABSTRACT
The descriptive qualitative study documents experiences of Jordanian women abused by their husbands. Thirteen married women living with an abusive husband were recruited from a major primary healthcare center. The women described forms, intensity, and consequences of their husband's acts. Despite their anguish, women justified, normalized, and tolerated abuse; this acceptance reflected their cultural values and norms. Implications for nursing practice include (a) identifying abused women, (b) empowering them with knowledge to change their sociocultural perceptions of marital relationships, (c) designing interventions that address their needs, and (d) educating health care providers to take a role in addressing spousal abuse.
