Abstract

Purpose: Domestic violence (DV) is a significant public health problem in India, with women disproportionately impacted. This study a) identified risk and protective correlates of DV and, b) barriers and facilitators for seeking and receiving help for DV among women in India.

Methods: A systematic search of 5 databases was performed to identify correlates of DV in the quantitative literature. The search resulted in inclusion of 68 studies for synthesis. For qualitative exploration, data were collected from 27 women in India.

Results: While factors such as social norms and attitudes supportive of DV were both risk correlates and barriers to addressing DV, omen's empowerment, financial independence and informal sources of support were both protective correlates of DV as well as facilitators in addressing DV.

Conclusions: Strong efforts in India are needed to reduce DV-related risk factors and strengthen protective factors and enhance access to care for women in abusive relationships.

印度针对妇女的暴力：分析家庭暴力的相关因素以及获得支助资源的障碍和促进因素。

目的：家庭暴力（DV）是印度的一个重大公共卫生问题，妇女受到的影响尤为严重。本研究 a) 确定家庭暴力的风险和保护性相关因素；b) 印度妇女寻求和接受家庭暴力帮助的障碍和促进因素：对 5 个数据库进行了系统搜索，以确定定量文献中家庭暴力的相关因素。搜索结果包括 68 项研究综述。为了进行定性探讨，收集了印度 27 名妇女的数据：结果：支持家庭暴力的社会规范和态度等因素既是风险相关因素，也是解决家庭暴力问题的障碍，而妇女赋权、经济独立和非正式支持来源既是家庭暴力的保护性相关因素，也是解决家庭暴力问题的促进因素：印度需要加大力度，减少与家庭暴力相关的风险因素，加强保护因素，增加受虐待妇女获得护理的机会。
