Domestic violence against women committed by intimate partners is a worldwide concern especially in developing countries. The aim of this study was to assess the problem among Iranian women and identify associated risk factors. Using a cross-sectional multicenter design, 1,600 women in six different areas of Iran were surveyed. A measure of domestic violence against women was administered and demographic information collected. Logistic regression models were used to identify factors associated with domestic violence. The prevalence of domestic violence among participants were emotional (64%), physical (28%), and sexual (18%). Higher education (both women and their partners), employment status of partner (being employed), and lower number of children lowered the risk, whereas history of previous marriage (for either women or their partners), unstable marriage, substance abuse, crowded family situation, and lower socioeconomic status increased the risk of domestic violence. There is a high prevalence of domestic violence, particularly emotional, against women by their partners. Preventive measures are recommended such as increasing public awareness, improving in socioeconomic status of families, educating women about what they can do, and encouraging counseling for the couple or the woman alone.
亲密伴侣对女性实施的家庭暴力是一个全球性问题，在发展中国家尤为突出。本研究旨在评估伊朗女性中的这一问题，并确定相关风险因素。采用横断面多中心设计，对伊朗六个不同地区的1600名女性进行了调查。实施了一项针对女性家庭暴力的测量，并收集了人口统计学信息。使用逻辑回归模型来确定与家庭暴力相关的因素。参与者中家庭暴力的发生率分别为：情感暴力（64%）、身体暴力（28%）和性暴力（18%）。女性及其伴侣的高等教育程度、伴侣的就业状况（有工作）以及子女数量较少会降低风险，而此前的婚姻史（女性或其伴侣的）、不稳定的婚姻、药物滥用、家庭拥挤状况以及较低的社会经济地位会增加家庭暴力的风险。伴侣对女性实施家庭暴力的情况很普遍，尤其是情感暴力。建议采取预防措施，如提高公众意识、改善家庭社会经济地位、教育女性应对方法以及鼓励夫妻或女性单独接受咨询。
