This descriptive cross sectional study was conducted to determine attitudes to and the prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) among women of reproductive age in a migrant community in southwest Nigeria. All consenting females aged 15-49 years in the area sampled were interviewed. A structured questionnaire administered in the local language was used to obtain information on attitudes toward IPV in seven hypothetical situations as well as their exposure to IPV. Eighty-seven percent of women had ever experienced IPV, while 20% experienced IPV in the preceding 12 months. Regarding attitudes to IPV, 79.5% of women believed that wife beating was justified in at least one of seven situations. Respondents who were not living with a male partner were more likely than their counterparts who were married/cohabiting to accept IPV (p = 0.03). There is a need for a cultural reorientation through appropriate health education interventions.
这项描述性横断面研究旨在确定尼日利亚西南部一个移民社区中育龄妇女对亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）的态度及其流行情况。对该地区抽样的所有年龄在15至49岁且同意参与的女性进行了访谈。使用当地语言进行的结构化问卷来获取关于在七种假设情况下对IPV的态度以及她们遭受IPV的信息。87%的女性曾经历过IPV，而20%的女性在过去12个月内经历过IPV。关于对IPV的态度，79.5%的女性认为在七种情况中的至少一种情况下殴打妻子是合理的。未与男性伴侣同住的受访者比已婚/同居的受访者更有可能接受IPV（p = 0.03）。需要通过适当的健康教育干预进行文化重新定位。
