Domestic violence against a woman, inflicted by her husband/partner, disrupts the socially recognized model of partnership and family life and endangers the health and life of the victim. The aim of the study was to assess the level of satisfaction with the life of Polish women experiencing domestic violence and compare it to results of women not experiencing domestic violence.
A cross-sectional study was conducted on a convenience sample of 610 Polish women divided in two groups: victims of domestic violence (Group 1, = 305) and women not experiencing domestic violence (Group 2, = 305).
Most Polish women experiencing domestic violence are characterized by low life satisfaction. The mean value of life satisfaction in Group 1 was 13.78, SD = 4.88, significantly lower when compared to Group 2 (M = 21.04, SD = 5.61). Their satisfaction with life is related, among other things, to the form of violence inflicted upon them by their husband/partner. Abused women with low life satisfaction are most often victims of psychological violence. The most common cause is the perpetrator's addiction to alcohol and/or drugs. Assessment of their life satisfaction is unrelated to help-seeking and to the occurrence of violence in their family home in the past.
女性遭受其丈夫/伴侣的家庭暴力,破坏了社会公认的伴侣关系和家庭生活模式,并危及受害者的健康和生命。本研究旨在评估遭受家庭暴力的波兰女性对生活的满意度水平,并将其与未遭受家庭暴力的女性的结果进行比较。
采用便利抽样法对 610 名波兰女性进行了横断面研究,将其分为两组:家庭暴力受害者(第 1 组,n = 305)和未遭受家庭暴力的女性(第 2 组,n = 305)。
大多数遭受家庭暴力的波兰女性的生活满意度较低。第 1 组的生活满意度平均值为 13.78,SD = 4.88,显著低于第 2 组(M = 21.04,SD = 5.61)。她们对生活的满意度与丈夫/伴侣对她们施加的暴力形式等因素有关。生活满意度低的受虐待女性大多是心理暴力的受害者。最常见的原因是施害者酗酒和/或吸毒成瘾。对其生活满意度的评估与寻求帮助以及过去家庭中是否发生暴力行为无关。
