Domestic violence (DV) is a significant public health problem in India, with women disproportionately impacted. This study a) identified risk and protective correlates of DV and, b) barriers and facilitators for seeking and receiving help for DV among women in India.
A systematic search of 5 databases was performed to identify correlates of DV in the quantitative literature. The search resulted in inclusion of 68 studies for synthesis. For qualitative exploration, data were collected from 27 women in India.
While factors such as social norms and attitudes supportive of DV were both risk correlates and barriers to addressing DV, omen's empowerment, financial independence and informal sources of support were both protective correlates of DV as well as facilitators in addressing DV.
Strong efforts in India are needed to reduce DV-related risk factors and strengthen protective factors and enhance access to care for women in abusive relationships.
家庭暴力(DV)是印度一个严重的公共卫生问题,女性受到的影响不成比例。本研究:a)确定了与 DV 相关的风险和保护因素;b)确定了印度女性寻求和接受 DV 帮助的障碍和促进因素。
系统地在 5 个数据库中进行了搜索,以确定定量文献中与 DV 相关的因素。该搜索纳入了 68 项研究进行综合分析。为了进行定性探索,从印度的 27 名妇女那里收集了数据。
虽然社会规范和支持 DV 的态度等因素既是 DV 的风险相关因素,也是解决 DV 的障碍,但妇女的赋权、经济独立和非正式的支持来源既是 DV 的保护相关因素,也是解决 DV 的促进因素。
印度需要大力减少与 DV 相关的风险因素,加强保护因素,并为处于虐待关系中的妇女提供更多的护理途径。
