The mode of training and work of the military personnel is different from that of civil servants and may affect their relationships with their intimate partners. This study assessed and compared the prevalence and correlates of self-reported Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) perpetration against female partners by male military personnel and civil servants in Ibadan, south-western Nigeria. A cross sectional survey of 1240 respondents, comprising 631 military personnel and 609 civilians, was conducted using a multistage sampling technique. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data on the respondents' characteristics and the different types of IPV perpetrated by them. Chi square test was used to compare the proportions of the different types of IPV perpetration and logistic regression analysis was used to determine the predictors of IPV perpetration in the two study groups. Military personnel reported significantly more IPV such as physical abuse, psychological abuse and controlling behaviors than the civil servants. Childhood exposure to inter-parental IPV and history of physical fight with another woman significantly increased the odds of perpetration of each type and any form of IPV in the two populations after controlling for other variables. Military personnel were significantly more likely to perpetrate any form of IPV than the civil servants. IPV was prevalent in both groups but was more among the military personnel. There is a need for multidisciplinary interventions such as psycho-education and conflict management skills to address violence against female intimate partners especially among the military population in Nigeria.
军事人员的训练和工作模式与公务员不同，这可能会影响他们与亲密伴侣的关系。本研究评估并比较了尼日利亚西南部伊巴丹男性军事人员和公务员对女性伴侣实施自我报告的亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）的患病率及其相关因素。采用多阶段抽样技术对1240名受访者进行了横断面调查，其中包括631名军事人员和609名平民。使用自填式问卷收集受访者的特征以及他们实施的不同类型IPV的数据。采用卡方检验比较不同类型IPV实施的比例，并使用逻辑回归分析确定两个研究组中IPV实施的预测因素。军事人员报告的身体虐待、心理虐待和控制行为等IPV明显多于公务员。在控制其他变量后，童年时期暴露于父母间的IPV以及与另一名女性发生肢体冲突的历史显著增加了这两个人口中每种类型和任何形式IPV实施的几率。军事人员实施任何形式IPV的可能性明显高于公务员。IPV在两组中都很普遍，但在军事人员中更为常见。需要采取多学科干预措施，如心理教育和冲突管理技能，以解决针对女性亲密伴侣的暴力问题，特别是在尼日利亚的军事人员中。
