Initially viewed as a human rights issue, partner violence is increasingly seen as an important public health problem of international concern.
To assess the extent of physical, sexual, psychological, and controlling behavior of intimate partners against women in an educated society and find the association with age, age of marriage, married years, educational status of the women and that of partner.
A prevalence of 15% was taken and final sample was 200, after considering loss of follow-up.
Proportion, -test, Chi-square test.
The prevalence of violence against intimate partner in educated society was found to be 40.5% in a South Indian city. Physical assault was high in 30-50 years and increased with duration of marriage from 5.5% at 5 years to 33.3% in 10-20 years of married life. Sexual and psychological assault also increased in <5 years of married life to 35% and 47.6% in 10-20 years duration of marriage, which was statistically significant. Sexual and psychological assault showed a bimodal presentation. Less educated women and their partners were found to report more violence, which was statistically significant.
Violence against women is not uncommon in the educated society.
伴侣暴力最初被视为一个人权问题，如今越来越被视为一个国际关注的重要公共卫生问题。
评估在一个受过教育的社会中亲密伴侣对女性的身体、性、心理及控制行为的程度，并找出其与年龄、结婚年龄、婚姻年限、女性及其伴侣教育状况的关联。
考虑到随访失访情况，设定患病率为15%，最终样本量为200。
比例、t检验、卡方检验。
在印度南部一个城市，受过教育的社会中亲密伴侣暴力的患病率为40.5%。身体攻击在30至50岁人群中发生率较高，且随婚姻持续时间增加，从结婚5年时的5.5%增至结婚10至20年时的33.3%。性攻击和心理攻击在结婚年限<5年时也有所增加，在结婚10至20年时分别增至35%和47.6%，具有统计学意义。性攻击和心理攻击呈现双峰模式。受教育程度较低的女性及其伴侣报告的暴力行为更多，具有统计学意义。
在受过教育的社会中，针对女性的暴力并不罕见。
