Abstract
Objectives
Our study aimed to describe profiles of female victims of domestic violence and their aggressors.
Methods
Our study was a descriptive cross-sectional study, carried out during the period from April 2021 to January 2022, among women victims of domestic violence who consulted the psychiatric emergency room of the Hedi Chaker university hospital in Sfax (Tunisia) in the context of a medical expertise following domestic violence.
Results
Our study included 122 women with an average age of 35.66 years. The majority of them had a secondary (44.3%) or university (31.1%) educational level. They suffered from a psychiatric illness in 25.4% of cases, and 4.9% had a history of suicide attempts. The average age of the aggressors was 41.68 years. Alcohol consumption was found in 54.1% of them. Cannabis use was found in 20.5% of spouses. Cocaine use was noted in 0.8%, as well as for ecstasy. Among them, 28.7% had forensic history. The majority of the children of the women surveyed (89.4%, n = 93) had witnessed violence; 39.4% (n = 41) of whom had been beaten with their mothers.
Conclusion
There is no a typical profile of woman who may be victim of domestic violence, nor a typical portrait of husband who may behave violently towards their partner, notably because of the great diversity of the phenomenon of domestic violence and the underlying factors.
