The gendered patterns of violence against women are largely precipitated by dominant male gender roles that define masculinity. The purpose of this study was to understand women's encounter in abusive domestic relationships. Specifically, the research goal was to assess the extent, types, and severity of interpersonal violence (IPV) by intimate partners against married and divorced women in Kuwait. In addition, the research attempts to correlate the extent, types, and severity of IPV by intimate partners with characteristics of the study participants. The study was based on quantitative methodology. Results indicated that cultural, religious, and demographic factor values were among the highest causes of violence against women. The IPV against women in Kuwait City is reported by 71% for women who are physically abused, 81% for women who are sexually abused, 89% for women who are psychologically abused, 75% for women based on cultural and religious factors, and 65% for women battering. Clinical implications are provided to guide practitioners in identifying couples at risk and to formulate prevention and intervention strategies.
针对妇女的性别暴力模式在很大程度上是由主导的男性性别角色引发的，这些角色定义了男性气质。本研究旨在了解妇女在虐待性家庭关系中的遭遇。具体来说，研究目标是评估科威特已婚和离婚妇女遭受亲密伴侣的人际暴力（IPV）的程度、类型和严重程度。此外，该研究试图将亲密伴侣的 IPV 程度、类型和严重程度与研究参与者的特征相关联。该研究基于定量方法。结果表明，文化、宗教和人口因素值是导致暴力侵害妇女行为的最高因素之一。报告显示，71%的身体受虐妇女、81%的性虐待妇女、89%的心理受虐妇女、75%的受文化和宗教因素影响的妇女以及 65%的受虐妇女在科威特市遭受了 IPV。研究结果为指导从业者识别有风险的夫妇和制定预防和干预策略提供了临床意义。
