This qualitative study was conducted with 14 South Asian women in Hong Kong to explore their perception and experiences of domestic violence by an intimate partner.
All interviews were transcribed and then coded based on the process of coding suggested by Strauss and Corbin, including both open and axial coding.
Data analysis resulted in two main core categories, "Women's perception of domestic violence" and "Cultural factors that influence their help-seeking behavior," denoting that the context in which domestic violence is experienced influences women's perception and understanding of domestic violence. Participants also drew on the discourse of culture to explain its role in their experiences of domestic violence.
Domestic violence is a concern among this group of South Asian women. Culturally appropriate domestic violence services and public education on domestic violence are needed for this community.
本定性研究对14名在香港的南亚裔女性进行，以探讨她们对亲密伴侣家庭暴力的认知和经历。
所有访谈均进行了转录，然后根据施特劳斯和科尔宾建议的编码过程进行编码，包括开放式编码和轴心式编码。
数据分析产生了两个主要核心类别，即“女性对家庭暴力的认知”和“影响其求助行为的文化因素”，这表明遭受家庭暴力的背景会影响女性对家庭暴力的认知和理解。参与者还利用文化话语来解释其在家庭暴力经历中的作用。
家庭暴力是这组南亚裔女性所关注的问题。该社区需要符合文化背景的家庭暴力服务以及关于家庭暴力的公众教育。
