Total indirect: domestic violence → posttraumatic growth/posttraumatic stress disorder (PTG/ PTSD); Specific indirect 1: domestic violence → resilience → PTG/PTSD; Specific indirect 2: domestic violence → self-compassion → PTG/PTSD; Specific indirect 3: domestic violence → self-compassion → resilience → PTG/PTSD. PTG: Posttraumatic growth; PTSD: Posttraumatic stress disorder.
