BACKGROUND
Over the past 30 years, intimate partner violence (IPV) against women and its health consequences has become a well established research area and is recognized worldwide as a significant public health issue. Studies on IPV directed at men are less explored, however recently women's use of IPV and men's victimization is gaining growing attention. Earlier population-based studies performed in Sweden have primarily investigated men's violence against women, while women's use of violence and men's exposure as well as the existence of controlling behaviours have been neglected research areas This explorative study investigated the exposure to and perpetration of intimate partner violence, the use of control behaviours and the associated risk factors among a sample of Swedish men and women.
METHODS
This cross-sectional population-based study included 173 men and 251 women of age 18-65 randomly selected among the Swedish population. A questionnaire based on the revised Conflicts Tactics Scale (CTS2) and the subscale 'isolating control' from the Controlling Behaviour Scale (CBS) was used to collect data on violence exposure and perpetration. Regression analyses were used for risk factor assessment.
RESULTS
More men (11%) than women (8%) reported exposure to physical assault in the past year, while more women reported exposure to sexual coercion. Duration of present relationship ≤ 3 years was identified as a significant risk factor for men's exposure. Young age, lack of social support and being single, constituted risk factors for women's exposure. Surprisingly many men (37%) and women (41%) also reported exposure to controlling behaviours.
CONCLUSIONS
In partner violence research, both men's and women's exposure should be explored however findings need to be interpreted with caution. This first study in a Swedish sample establishes the basis for future investigations on partner violence and coercive control tactics.
背景
在过去的 30 年中，针对妇女的亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）及其健康后果已成为一个成熟的研究领域，并且在世界范围内被公认为是一个重大的公共卫生问题。但是，针对男性的 IPV 研究却较少，然而最近，女性使用 IPV 和男性受害问题越来越受到关注。瑞典早期的基于人群的研究主要调查了男性对女性的暴力行为，而女性使用暴力行为以及男性受害和控制行为的存在则是被忽视的研究领域。本探索性研究调查了瑞典男性和女性样本中亲密伴侣暴力的暴露和实施、控制行为的使用以及相关的危险因素。
方法
本横断面基于人群的研究包括随机选择的年龄在 18-65 岁之间的 173 名男性和 251 名女性。使用基于修订后的冲突策略量表（CTS2）和控制行为量表（CBS）的“隔离控制”子量表的问卷收集有关暴力暴露和实施的数据。使用回归分析评估危险因素。
结果
更多的男性（11％）而不是女性（8％）报告在过去一年中遭受过身体攻击的暴露，而更多的女性报告遭受过性胁迫的暴露。目前的关系持续时间≤3 年被确定为男性暴露的重要危险因素。年轻，缺乏社会支持和单身是女性暴露的危险因素。令人惊讶的是，许多男性（37％）和女性（41％）也报告了控制行为的暴露。
结论
在伴侣暴力研究中，应探索男性和女性的暴露情况，但发现结果需要谨慎解释。这项在瑞典样本中的首次研究为未来有关伴侣暴力和强制性控制策略的研究奠定了基础。
