Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious public health issue, which is health threatening across all age groups, including young adults, and makes them and vulnerable. The rejection of IPV and willingness to disclose IPV as part of the solution are important as they correlate to this concealed violent behavior. This study aimed to investigate determinants of attitudes towards rejecting IPV among young adults. A cross-sectional study was carried out on 405 young adults attending premarital courses who were selected using purposive sampling. A validated questionnaire (MYPAIPVQ) was used as the study instrument. Logistic regression analyses were performed to test for associations between sociodemographic characteristics and relationship status with attitudes towards IPV. Attitudes towards rejecting IPV included not accepting IPV and have the willing to disclose it. About half of the premarital young adults (50.4%) had attitudes towards rejecting IPV. In the regression analysis, age (AdjOR 1.12), female (AdjOR 2.49), self-employed (AdjOR 0.20), and drama as sources of information (AdjOR 3.66) were significantly associated with attitudes towards rejecting IPV. The findings have potentially important implications for interventions aimed at preventing violence among the young adult population as they are vulnerable to being involved in IPV in the future.
亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）是一个严重的公共卫生问题，它在所有年龄段都对健康构成威胁，包括年轻人，使他们变得脆弱。拒绝 IPV 并愿意将其作为解决方案的一部分公开，这一点很重要，因为这与这种隐蔽的暴力行为有关。本研究旨在调查年轻人对拒绝 IPV 的态度的决定因素。对参加婚前课程的 405 名年轻人进行了横断面研究，采用目的抽样法选择研究对象。使用经过验证的问卷（MYPAIPVQ）作为研究工具。进行逻辑回归分析，以检验社会人口统计学特征和关系状况与对 IPV 的态度之间的关联。拒绝 IPV 的态度包括不接受 IPV 和愿意公开它。约一半的婚前年轻人（50.4%）对拒绝 IPV 的态度。在回归分析中，年龄（调整后的优势比 1.12）、女性（调整后的优势比 2.49）、个体经营者（调整后的优势比 0.20）和戏剧作为信息来源（调整后的优势比 3.66）与拒绝 IPV 的态度显著相关。这些发现对预防年轻人中暴力的干预措施具有潜在的重要意义，因为他们在未来容易卷入 IPV。
