Abstract

Intimate partner violence (IPV) against men has become a serious and widespread public health issue, but limited research about the occurrence of female-to-male violence is available, as most studies on the subject have focused on female victims only. The study aims to determine the pooled prevalence and predictors of physical, emotional, and sexual violence against men across all recall periods and the potential risk factors of male victimization. Databases of PubMed, PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES, Scopus, Google Scholar, Science Direct, EMBASE, and JSTOR were searched. Data were extracted from studies published in 2010 to 2022. A systematic review and Random effect meta-analyses for the pooled prevalence were performed. Thirty studies with 58,357 participants were included in the final analysis. The pooled prevalence of Physical IPV was 20% (95% CI: 11–28%), Psychological IPV was 44% (95% CI: 30–59%), and Sexual IPV was 7% (95% CI: 3.1–10%) in Victimization for all recall periods, respectively. Findings demonstrated psychological IPV as the most prevalent form of IPV among men, which suggests that effective attempts are required to develop related prevention programs for victims. Furthermore, gender, age, substance abuse, socioeconomic status, multiple sex partners, history of abuse, and childhood victimization were found to be the predictors of IPV among men. Implementations of policies are also needed to reduce IPV. The findings of the study were discussed in terms of counselling and interventions.

针对男性的暴力行为的汇总流行:一个无声危机的系统回顾和元分析

对男性的亲密伴侣暴力已成为一个严重和广泛的公共卫生问题，但关于女性对男性暴力的发生情况的研究有限，因为关于这一问题的大多数研究只关注女性受害者。该研究旨在确定所有记忆期男性遭受身体、情感和性暴力的总体发生率和预测因素，以及男性受害的潜在风险因素。检索PubMed、PsycINFO、PsycARTICLES、Scopus、Google Scholar、Science Direct、EMBASE、JSTOR等数据库。数据摘自2010年至2022年发表的研究。对合并患病率进行了系统评价和随机效应荟萃分析。最后的分析包括30项研究，58,357名参与者。在所有回忆期间，受害的身体IPV的总患病率为20% (95% CI: 11-28%)，心理IPV的总患病率为44% (95% CI: 30-59%)，性IPV的总患病率为7% (95% CI: 3.1-10%)。研究结果表明，心理上的IPV是男性中最普遍的IPV形式，这表明需要为受害者制定相关的预防方案。此外，性别、年龄、药物滥用、社会经济地位、多个性伴侣、虐待史和童年受害被发现是男性IPV的预测因子。还需要实施减少IPV的政策。研究结果在咨询和干预方面进行了讨论。
