Data are reported from a survey of 49 South Asian women who self-identified as having experienced domestic violence from an intimate partner within the past 12 months. Logistic regression analysis reveals that perceived social support and having children emerged as the strongest predictors for seeking help. This study also demonstrates that women's approach to help-seeking is shaped and embedded by a combination of individual and structural factors. The findings of this study may be used to help enhance efforts to promote and provide resources and support for victims of domestic violence from an intimate partner.
数据来自对49名南亚女性的调查，这些女性自我认定在过去12个月内遭受过亲密伴侣的家庭暴力。逻辑回归分析显示，感知到的社会支持和育有子女是寻求帮助的最强预测因素。这项研究还表明，女性寻求帮助的方式受到个人和结构因素的共同影响并深深植根其中。本研究结果可用于帮助加大力度，为亲密伴侣家庭暴力的受害者提供资源和支持。
