To examine the factors associated with victimization and perpetration of domestic violence in Eastern India.
Population-based cross-sectional study.
Married women (n=1718) and men (n=1715) from three Eastern Indian states were included in this study. Univariate and multiple logistic regression models were used to identify the determinants of domestic violence.
Age, education, occupation, marital duration and husband's alcoholism emerged as significant predictors of victimization and perpetration of all types of domestic violence. A higher level of family income was found to be highly protective against the risk of violence. In addition, other risk and protective factors for victimization and perpetration of each type of violence were identified.
This study contributes to the violence literature by shedding light on the risk factors of perpetration and victimization of domestic violence. These results provide vital information to develop interventions, as well as policies and programmes towards preventing violence. Also, this knowledge facilitates healthcare personnel to intervene more effectively with women at risk of violence-related health problems.
探讨印度东部与家庭暴力受害和施暴相关的因素。
基于人群的横断面研究。
本研究纳入了来自印度东部三个邦的已婚妇女(n=1718)和男性(n=1715)。采用单变量和多变量逻辑回归模型来确定家庭暴力的决定因素。
年龄、教育程度、职业、婚姻持续时间和丈夫酗酒是所有类型家庭暴力受害和施暴的重要预测因素。较高的家庭收入水平被发现对暴力风险具有高度保护作用。此外,还确定了每种暴力行为受害和施暴的其他风险和保护因素。
本研究通过揭示家庭暴力受害和施暴的风险因素,为暴力文献做出了贡献。这些结果为制定干预措施以及预防暴力的政策和方案提供了重要信息。此外,这些知识使医疗保健人员能够更有效地干预有暴力相关健康问题风险的妇女。
