While research evidence exists about Jordanian men's perceptions and attitudes about violence against women (VAW), there is a scientific gap for addressing VAW as a Jordanian cultural norm. This study aimed to describe Jordanian men's perceptions and attitudes toward VAW, leading factors for VAW, and strategies to combat VAW. A qualitative descriptive design was used with 14 Jordanian men and semi-structured interviews. Nine themes emerged: men's definitions of VAW, men's beliefs and attitudes about VAW, men's feelings toward VAW, intensifying factors for VAW, men's justification for women staying in abusive relationships, the hazardous impact of VAW, experience of using violence against wives, men's strategies for combating VAW, and absence or limited role of services for victims of VAW. Men in many cultures including Jordan inherit structured patriarchal ideology, which gives men the perceived right to control women and to manage familial conflict. Inherited cultural beliefs about male roles within families should be restructured by collaborating with community stakeholders to combat VAW.
虽然有关于约旦男性对暴力侵害妇女行为（VAW）的认知和态度的研究证据，但将暴力侵害妇女行为作为约旦文化规范来解决还存在科学空白。本研究旨在描述约旦男性对暴力侵害妇女行为的认知和态度、暴力侵害妇女行为的主要因素以及打击暴力侵害妇女行为的策略。采用定性描述性设计，对14名约旦男性进行了半结构化访谈。出现了九个主题：男性对暴力侵害妇女行为的定义、男性对暴力侵害妇女行为的信念和态度、男性对暴力侵害妇女行为的感受、暴力侵害妇女行为的强化因素、男性对妇女留在虐待关系中的辩解、暴力侵害妇女行为的有害影响、对妻子使用暴力的经历、男性打击暴力侵害妇女行为的策略以及暴力侵害妇女行为受害者服务的缺失或作用有限。包括约旦在内的许多文化中的男性继承了结构化的父权制意识形态，这使男性认为有权控制女性并处理家庭冲突。应通过与社区利益相关者合作来重塑关于男性在家庭中角色的继承文化观念，以打击暴力侵害妇女行为。
