Domestic violence is a common public health concern that violates human rights in all societies. This aimed to assess domestic violence and associated factors among housemaid night students in Hawassa city.
An institutional-based cross-sectional study was implemented from 1 February to 30 March 2019 among housemaid night students in Hawassa city. A stratified, two-stage cluster sampling technique was used. Finally, the study population was selected from the respective source population using a simple random sampling technique (computer-generated random numbers were used). Data were checked, coded and entered into Epi data version 3.1.5 and exported to SPSS version 20 for analysis. Bivariate and multivariable analyses were computed to identify the determinants of domestic violence among housemaid night students.
In this study, the housemaid experienced at least one form of domestic violence was 20.9 %(95% CI: 17.9, 24.2). Whereas 16.9% (95% CI: 14.0, 20.0) experienced physical violence, 9.7% were slapping, and the current employer performed 9% of any domestic violence among housemaid night students. Besides, 11% (95% CI: 8.7, 13.5) experienced sexual violence, 4% attempted rape, and the employer's son/friends performed 5.7% of sexual violence among housemaid night students.
Employer family size, any habit like khat chewing and drinking alcohol, anyone who watches pornography in the employer's home, anyone who enforces the housemaid to watch pornography, and lack of knowledge of domestic violence is higher odds of domestic violence among housemaid night students. Hence, the labour and social affairs and concerned stakeholders could create awareness about domestic violence for housemaids, families, and employers.
家庭暴力是一个普遍存在的公共卫生问题，在所有社会中都侵犯人权。本研究旨在评估哈瓦萨市住家女仆夜校学生中的家庭暴力及相关因素。
2019年2月1日至3月30日在哈瓦萨市住家女仆夜校学生中开展了一项基于机构的横断面研究。采用分层两阶段整群抽样技术。最后，使用简单随机抽样技术（利用计算机生成随机数）从相应的源人群中选取研究对象。数据经过检查、编码后录入Epi数据3.1.5版本，并导出至SPSS 20版本进行分析。进行双变量和多变量分析以确定住家女仆夜校学生中家庭暴力的决定因素。
在本研究中，经历过至少一种形式家庭暴力的住家女仆占20.9%（95%置信区间：17.9，24.2）。其中16.9%（95%置信区间：14.0，20.0）经历过身体暴力，9.7%遭受过扇打，当前雇主实施了住家女仆夜校学生中9%的家庭暴力行为。此外，11%（95%置信区间：8.7，13.5）经历过性暴力，4%遭受过强奸未遂，雇主的儿子/朋友实施了住家女仆夜校学生中5.7%的性暴力行为。
雇主家庭规模、任何诸如咀嚼恰特草和饮酒的习惯、雇主家中观看色情内容的人、强迫住家女仆观看色情内容的人以及对家庭暴力缺乏认知，这些因素会增加住家女仆夜校学生遭受家庭暴力的几率。因此，劳动和社会事务部门及相关利益攸关方可为女仆、家庭和雇主开展有关家庭暴力的宣传教育。
