North Korean refugees in South Korea have been reported as at higher risk of intimate partner violence (IPV). However, few studies have examined risk factors of IPV among North Korean refugees. This study aimed to report the prevalence of IPV against women among North Korean refugees, and compared the risk factors of IPV against women between South Koreans and North Korean refugees in South Korea. Data from a nationwide survey about domestic violence in South Korea were used. The rate of IPV against women by North Korean refugees was 57.1%, which is considerably higher than that of South Koreans (9.9%). The regression analysis indicated that North Korean refugees perpetrated partner violence against women more frequently than South Koreans, even after controlling for socioeconomic factors. Child abuse victimization and witnessing IPV between parents were the main factors of IPV against women among South Koreans. On the other hand, stress and a tolerant attitude toward using violence were significantly associated with IPV against women among North Korean refugees. The findings suggested that stress management and education on reducing tolerance to violence should be provided to prevent IPV against women among North Korean refugees.
据报道，在韩国的朝鲜难民遭受亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）的风险更高。然而，很少有研究调查过朝鲜难民中 IPV 的风险因素。本研究旨在报告针对朝鲜难民中妇女的 IPV 流行率，并比较韩国人和在韩朝鲜难民中妇女遭受 IPV 的风险因素。本研究使用了韩国全国范围内关于家庭暴力的调查数据。朝鲜难民中妇女遭受 IPV 的比率为 57.1%，明显高于韩国人（9.9%）。回归分析表明，即使控制了社会经济因素，朝鲜难民对妇女实施伴侣暴力的频率也高于韩国人。儿童虐待受害和目睹父母之间的 IPV 是韩国妇女遭受 IPV 的主要因素。另一方面，压力和对使用暴力的宽容态度与朝鲜难民中妇女遭受 IPV 显著相关。研究结果表明，应提供压力管理和减少对暴力容忍度的教育，以预防朝鲜难民中妇女遭受 IPV。
