Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a major social and public health problem affecting people in various cultures and societies. Though the issue of IPV in Pakistan has been researched since the 1990 s, no attempt has been made systematically to review the available evidence on IPV in Pakistan. This article presents findings of a systematic review of available empirical literature related to IPV in Pakistan. Using various key words, MEDLINE, CINAHL, and PsycINFO were searched to identify relevant studies. This resulted in the identification of 55 potential studies for inclusion. After application of exclusion criteria 23 studies were identified, 20 of which used quantitative research designs, two used qualitative designs and one adopted a mixed method case study approach. All studies reported men as the perpetrators of IPV and women as its victims. Findings are presented and discussed for IPV for its forms, predictors, effects and victims' responses. Pakistani peoples' perceived reasons for and their attitudes towards IPV are also presented and discussed.
亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）是一个重大的社会和公共卫生问题，影响着不同文化和社会背景下的人们。尽管自20世纪90年代以来，巴基斯坦就对亲密伴侣暴力问题进行了研究，但尚未有人系统地尝试对巴基斯坦有关亲密伴侣暴力的现有证据进行综述。本文介绍了对巴基斯坦有关亲密伴侣暴力的现有实证文献进行系统综述的结果。通过使用各种关键词，检索了医学期刊数据库（MEDLINE）、护理学与健康领域数据库（CINAHL）和心理学文摘数据库（PsycINFO），以确定相关研究。这导致识别出55项可能纳入的研究。在应用排除标准后，确定了23项研究，其中20项采用定量研究设计，2项采用定性设计，1项采用混合方法案例研究方法。所有研究均报告男性是亲密伴侣暴力的实施者，女性是受害者。针对亲密伴侣暴力的形式、预测因素、影响和受害者反应，本文呈现并讨论了研究结果。还介绍并讨论了巴基斯坦人民对亲密伴侣暴力的认知原因及其态度。
