Domestic violence is a widespread problem affecting individuals, families, and communities worldwide. Peritraumatic distress is associated with post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental health problems among victims, but research on men's experiences is limited.
We analyzed data from 48 physical domestic violence victims (16 males and 32 females) to compare their levels of peritraumatic distress and negative emotions, and to examine the types of aggressors they faced.
We used descriptives to summarize sample characteristics and Peritraumatic Distress Inventory scores and used statistical tests such as Mann-Whitney U, Shapiro-Wilk, Levene's test, contingency tables, and chi-square to investigate differences and associations between variables.
Female victims of domestic violence had significantly higher scores on the Peritraumatic Distress Inventory than male victims and experienced significantly higher levels of negative emotions than male victims, including impotence/inability to react, sadness, anger/frustration, loss of control, fear, guilt, and shame. Husbands and domestic partners were the most frequent aggressors against female victims, while wives and ex-wives were the most frequent aggressors against male victims. In addition, partners were found to be the most frequent type of aggressor in the sample. Descriptive statistics, box plots, and scatter plots were used to provide a clear picture of the sample characteristics.
Female victims of domestic violence reported higher levels of peritraumatic distress and negative emotions compared to men victims. Partners were the most frequent type of aggressor in the sample.
家庭暴力是一个普遍存在的问题，影响着全球范围内的个人、家庭和社区。创伤相关困扰与受害者的创伤后应激障碍及其他心理健康问题有关，但关于男性经历的研究有限。
我们分析了48名遭受身体家庭暴力受害者（16名男性和32名女性）的数据，以比较他们的创伤相关困扰和负面情绪水平，并调查他们所面对的攻击者类型。
我们使用描述性统计来总结样本特征和创伤相关困扰量表得分，并使用诸如曼-惠特尼U检验、夏皮罗-威尔克检验、莱文检验、列联表和卡方检验等统计方法来研究变量之间的差异和关联。
家庭暴力的女性受害者在创伤相关困扰量表上的得分显著高于男性受害者，并且经历的负面情绪水平也显著高于男性受害者，包括无力/无法反应、悲伤、愤怒/沮丧、失控、恐惧、内疚和羞耻。丈夫和家庭伴侣是女性受害者最常见的攻击者，而妻子和前妻是男性受害者最常见的攻击者。此外，伴侣被发现是样本中最常见的攻击者类型。描述性统计、箱线图和散点图被用于清晰呈现样本特征。
与男性受害者相比，家庭暴力的女性受害者报告的创伤相关困扰和负面情绪水平更高。伴侣是样本中最常见的攻击者类型。
