Summary

This presentation, given by Yasmine Nahed, a PhD student at LAPSCO, summarizes a systematic review on cognitive functioning in female victims of intimate partner violence (IPV). The review followed PRISMA guidelines and was pre-registered on PROSPERO. The speaker begins by highlighting the prevalence of IPV (1 in 3 women worldwide) and its physical and psychological consequences. She then distinguishes between objective cognition (measured by neuropsychological tests) and subjective cognition (self-reported difficulties). The review included 55 studies, mostly from North America, and found that subjective cognitive complaints are frequent, especially in memory and attention, while objective deficits are more selective and often associated with high clinical burden (e.g., PTSD, depression). The most affected domains are executive functions and memory, while attention and processing speed appear preserved. The speaker emphasizes that there is no single cognitive profile for IPV victims and that multiple mechanisms (e.g., traumatic brain injury, PTSD, stress) likely contribute. She calls for longitudinal studies, better characterization of violence, and integrated models to understand the causal pathways. The presentation concludes with implications for clinical practice and future research.

Critical Evaluation

Value of the Information & Strength of the Argument

The presentation provides a valuable synthesis of a complex and emerging field. The speaker clearly explains the methodology of the systematic review, including the search strategy, inclusion criteria, and data extraction process. The distinction between subjective and objective cognition is a key strength, as it highlights the discrepancy between self-reported difficulties and performance-based measures. The argumentation is solid, with the speaker carefully interpreting the heterogeneous results and cautioning against overgeneralization. She effectively argues that cognitive deficits are not uniform and that multiple factors, including clinical comorbidities and traumatic brain injury, must be considered. The call for longitudinal studies and integrated models is well-justified. The presentation is well-structured and accessible, making a strong case for the importance of this research area.

Scientific Rigor, Source Quality, Title Accuracy

The presentation demonstrates high scientific rigor. The systematic review follows PRISMA guidelines and is pre-registered, ensuring transparency. The speaker mentions using three databases (Web of Science, PubMed, PsycINFO) and a two-block search strategy. The quality of included studies was assessed using GBI tools. The speaker acknowledges limitations such as the predominance of cross-sectional designs, lack of control groups, and heterogeneity in measures and definitions of IPV. The title accurately reflects the content, which is a systematic review of cognitive functioning in female IPV victims. The presentation is based on the speaker’s own research, and the manuscript is under review, indicating that the findings are preliminary but grounded in a rigorous process.

Quality & Reliability

8/10

The presentation is based on a systematic review following PRISMA guidelines with a pre-registered protocol (PROSPERO). The methodology is rigorous, including a clear distinction between subjective and objective cognition, and a narrative synthesis due to heterogeneity. The speaker transparently discusses limitations such as cross-sectional designs and lack of standardized tools. The content is well-structured and supported by references, though the manuscript is still under review.

Contribution & Novelties

This systematic review provides a comprehensive synthesis of the current evidence on cognitive functioning in female victims of intimate partner violence, distinguishing between subjective and objective cognition. It highlights the heterogeneity of findings and the need for integrated models to understand the mechanisms. The review also underscores the importance of considering clinical comorbidities and traumatic brain injury. This work contributes to a growing field and offers guidance for future research and clinical practice.
