Trauma Violence Abuse. 2024 Oct 18;26(4):15248380241286836. doi: 10.1177/15248380241286836.
Domestic violence and abuse (DVA) is a form of interpersonal violence perpetrated by intimate partners or family members. It includes physical, sexual, psychological, emotional, and economic abuse, as well as coercive and controlling behaviors. DVA is associated with severe physical, psychological, social, and economic consequences for the victims. Muslim women, like women from all communities, experience DVA in its various forms, however, they may experience additional barriers when seeking support. This review was conducted using a meta-ethnography approach to synthesize published qualitative evidence on Muslim women's perspectives and experiences of DVA. A systematic search of global evidence in six electronic English databases including Medline, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science, PsycINFO, and ASSIA identified a total of 33 qualitative studies that met the inclusion criteria. The synthesis of these studies revealed four major themes: the experience and impacts of abuse; risk factors contributing to abuse; help-seeking; and the coping strategies of Muslim women. These findings emphasize the importance of religion not only as a risk factor for violence and a barrier to help-seeking but also as a coping strategy for dealing with violence. The findings offer important insights for policymaking and in supporting these women more effectively.
家庭暴力与虐待(DVA)是亲密伴侣或家庭成员实施的一种人际暴力形式。它包括身体虐待、性虐待、心理虐待、情感虐待和经济虐待,以及强制和控制行为。家庭暴力与虐待会给受害者带来严重的身体、心理、社会和经济后果。与所有社区的女性一样,穆斯林女性也会遭遇各种形式的家庭暴力与虐待,然而,她们在寻求支持时可能会遇到更多障碍。本综述采用元民族志方法,综合已发表的关于穆斯林女性对家庭暴力与虐待的看法及经历的定性证据。在包括Medline、CINAHL、Scopus、Web of Science、PsycINFO和ASSIA在内的六个英文电子数据库中对全球证据进行系统检索,共识别出33项符合纳入标准的定性研究。这些研究的综合分析揭示了四个主要主题:虐待的经历与影响;导致虐待的风险因素;寻求帮助;以及穆斯林女性的应对策略。这些发现强调了宗教的重要性,它不仅是暴力的一个风险因素和寻求帮助的障碍,也是应对暴力的一种策略。这些发现为政策制定以及更有效地支持这些女性提供了重要见解。
