The current systematic meta-review aimed to map out, characterize, analyze, and synthesize the overarching findings of systematic reviews on domestic violence (DV) in the context of COVID-19. Specifically, a systematic meta-review was conducted with three main objectives: (1) to identify what types and aspects of DV during COVID-19 have been reviewed systematically to date (research trends), (2) to synthesize the findings from recent systematic reviews of the theoretical and empirical literature (main findings), and (3) to discuss what systematic reviewers have proposed about implications for policy and practice as well as for future primary research (implications). We identified, appraised, and synthesized the evidence contained in systematic reviews by means of a so-called systematic meta-review. In all, 15 systematic reviews were found to be eligible for inclusion in the current review. Thematic codes were applied to each finding or implication in accordance with a set of predetermined categories informed by the DV literature. The findings of this review provide clear insight into current knowledge of prevalence, incidence, and contributing factors, which could help to develop evidence-informed DV prevention and intervention strategies during COVID-19 and future extreme events. This systematic meta-review does offer a first comprehensive overview of the research landscape on this subject. It allows scholars, practitioners, and policymakers to recognize initial patterns in DV during COVID-19, identify overlooked areas that need to be investigated and understood further, and adjust research methods that will lead to more robust studies.
当前的系统综述旨在描绘、描述、分析和综合关于 COVID-19 背景下家庭暴力 (DV) 的系统综述的总体发现。具体而言，进行了一项系统的元综述，有三个主要目标：(1) 确定迄今为止有哪些类型和方面的 COVID-19 期间的 DV 已被系统地审查 (研究趋势)，(2) 综合近期关于理论和实证文献的系统综述的发现 (主要发现)，以及 (3) 讨论系统审查员关于政策和实践以及未来主要研究的影响提出了哪些建议 (影响)。我们通过所谓的系统元综述来识别、评估和综合系统综述中的证据。共有 15 项系统综述被认为符合本综述的纳入标准。根据 DV 文献中的一系列预定类别，对每个发现或影响应用主题代码。本综述的发现清楚地洞察了当前关于流行率、发生率和促成因素的知识，这有助于在 COVID-19 期间和未来的极端事件中制定基于证据的 DV 预防和干预策略。这项系统的元综述确实提供了对该主题研究现状的全面概述。它使学者、从业者和政策制定者能够认识到 COVID-19 期间 DV 的初始模式，确定需要进一步调查和理解的被忽视领域，并调整研究方法，以产生更稳健的研究。
