The present study analyzed national data from "Domestic Violence Report System" derived primarily from the Council of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assaults Prevention, Ministry of the Interior, Taiwan, to describe the reported prevalence of domestic violence in people with disabilities and to examine the time-effect on the prevalence from years 2006 to 2009. The annual reported prevalence of domestic violence victims in people with disabilities was slightly lower than the general population. However, the reported rate changed significantly in people with disabilities over the period of 2006-2009, the victim number and rate (per ten-thousand) of reported cases in different years were 1260 (12.84), 1725 (16.90), 2163 (20.79) and 3157 (29.48). People with voice or speech disability, chronic psychosis and intellectual disability were the most domestic violence reported prevalence among the disabilities in the study. Those disabilities, such as chronic psychosis, intellectual disability, vision disability, hearing disability and multi-disabilities show increased significantly in annual reported rate in curve estimation for linear model over the period of 2006-2009. Finally, we found the average increase rate of annual reported prevalence in people of disabilities was 3.7 times of the general population (9.79% vs. 36.08%). Intellectual disability (41.52%), vision or speech disability (38.59%) and chronic psychosis (37.96%) were the most increasing disability type in average of annual reported prevalence of domestic violence among disabilities during the period of 2006-2009. The present study suggests health and welfare authorities should play vital roles in identifying and providing appropriate services for people with disabilities who encounter domestic violence.
本研究分析了内政部家庭暴力暨性侵害防治委员会「家庭暴力通报资料系统」之全国性资料,以了解国内身心障碍者遭受家庭暴力之盛行率现况,并探讨 2006 至 2009 年盛行率之时间趋势。身心障碍者之家庭暴力通报盛行率略低于一般人口,但在 2006-2009 年期间身心障碍者之通报率有显著变化,不同年份之通报案例数及发生率(每万人)分别为 1260 人(12.84%)、1725 人(16.90%)、2163 人(20.79%)及 3157 人(29.48%)。本研究中,以语音或言语障碍、慢性精神病及智能障碍者之家庭暴力通报盛行率最高。在 2006-2009 年期间,慢性精神病、智能障碍、视障、听障及多重障碍者之通报率在直式模型曲线估计中呈现显著上升。最后,我们发现身心障碍者之家庭暴力通报盛行率年平均增加率为一般人口的 3.7 倍(9.79%比 36.08%)。在 2006-2009 年期间,智能障碍(41.52%)、视障或言语障碍(38.59%)及慢性精神病(37.96%)为身心障碍者中家庭暴力通报盛行率年平均增加率最高之障碍类型。本研究建议卫生与福利主管机关应扮演重要角色,以协助及提供身心障碍者遭遇家庭暴力时所需之服务。
