摘要

在全球范围内,男性使用家庭暴力是一个重大的公共健康问题。然而,在研究和实践中,技术解决这一问题的潜力还很有限。本研究旨在测试一个在线健康关系工具(BETTER MAN)的可行性和可接受性,该工具面向曾遭受家庭暴力的男性,旨在鼓励他们寻求帮助。研究采用了为期 3 个月的前后调查。共有 140 名男性参加了此次活动,在使用 "更好的男人 "后的保留率为 79%(111 人),3 个月后的保留率为 62%(86 人)。参与者均为多元化男性(平均年龄 32 岁,33% 出生在澳大利亚以外的地区,19% 为同性关系,2% 为土著或托雷斯海峡岛民)。大多数男性(70%,58 人)报告的行为被归类为中度风险行为(如查看伴侣电话、挑逗伴侣和控制金钱),24%(20 人)报告的行为被归类为高风险行为(如吓唬伴侣、使用暴力和不受欢迎的性活动)。开展 "更好的男人 "活动后,男性联系咨询服务的意向平均值(基线为 5.8,即时为 6.7,3 个月随访为 7.2)和求助能力信心平均值(基线为 3.7,即时为 5.1,3 个月随访为 7.2)均有显著提高。男性准备好改变行为的中位数从基线(5.9--我还没有准备好采取行动)、即时(6.7--我准备好做出一些改变)到 3 个月随访(7.2--我已经开始改变我的行为)都有明显的变化。在 3 个月的跟踪调查中,55%(47/86)的男性报告说他们获得了咨询服务,而在基线调查中,只有 34%(46/140)的男性报告说他们获得了咨询服务。研究结果表明,"更好的男人 "可能会吸引男性寻求帮助,并为遭受家庭暴力的男性所接受。不过,还需要进行大规模的随机对照试验,以确定 BETTER MAN 对男性家庭暴力求助行为的有效性。

A Brief Online Motivational Tool to Promote Early Help-Seeking in Men Using Abuse and Violence in Relationships: A Feasibility Trial.

Men's use of domestic violence is a major public health issue globally. However, the potential for technology to address this issue has been limited within research and practice. This study aimed to test the feasibility and acceptability of an online healthy relationship tool (BETTER MAN) for men who have used domestic violence to encourage help-seeking. A pre- and postsurvey with a 3-month follow-up was used. One hundred and forty men enrolled, with retention rates of 79% (111) immediately after BETTER MAN and 62% (86) at 3 months. Participants were diverse men (mean age of 32 years, 33% born outside Australia, 19% in same-sex relationships, and 2% Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander). The majority (70%, 58) of men reported behaviors classified as moderate risk (e.g., checked partner's phone, picked on partner, and controlled money) and 24% (20) as high-risk behaviors (e.g., scared partner, physical force, and unwanted sexual activities). Post BETTER MAN, there was a significant increase in mean intention to contact counseling service (baseline 5.8, immediately 6.7, and 3-month follow-up 7.2) and mean confidence in the ability to seek help (baseline 3.7, immediately 5.1, and 3-month follow-up 7.2). Men's readiness to make changes in behavior median score significantly moved from baseline (5.9-I am not ready to take action), immediately (6.7-I am ready to make some changes), and 3-month follow-up (7.2-I have begun to change my behavior). At 3-month follow-up, 55% (47/86) of men reported accessing counseling services compared with 34% (46/140) of men at baseline. Findings suggest that it is feasible that BETTER MAN might work to engage men to seek help and is acceptable to men using domestic violence. However, a large-scale randomized controlled trial is needed to determine the effectiveness of BETTER MAN on help-seeking behaviors for men's use of domestic violence.
