Abstract

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a widespread issue, particularly affecting married women in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where cultural norms often lead to its acceptance. Using data from national demographic and health surveys and a two-level hierarchical model, this study examines factors affecting IPV acceptance among married women in 20 LMICs. Studies show that higher education, greater wealth, decision-making power, urban residency, and older age at marriage all reduce IPV acceptance. Furthermore, surveys from 2019 to 2022 indicate a decline in acceptance of IPV. In LMICs, targeted interventions need to be implemented to reduce IPV and increase gender equality.

影响已婚妇女对亲密伴侣暴力态度的因素：20个低收入和中等收入国家的多层次分析。

亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）是一个普遍存在的问题，尤其影响到低收入和中等收入国家（LMICs）的已婚妇女，在这些国家，文化规范往往导致其被接受。本研究利用来自国家人口和健康调查的数据以及一个两级层次模型，探讨了影响20个中低收入国家已婚妇女接受IPV的因素。研究表明，高等教育、财富、决策权、城市居住和结婚年龄都降低了IPV的接受度。此外，2019年至2022年的调查显示，IPV的接受度有所下降。在中低收入国家，需要实施有针对性的干预措施，以减少IPV和增进性别平等。
