虽然亲密伴侣暴力在埃塞俄比亚是一种普遍现象，但寻求帮助的来源与亲密伴侣暴力之间的关系还没有得到很好的理解。更好地理解这种关系可以在预防IPV方面发挥作用。我们使用了2016年埃塞俄比亚人口与健康调查中收集的数据，并将我们的研究限制在已婚女性中，年龄在15至49岁之间（n = 4469）。总体而言，曾遭受精神虐待、身体暴力或性暴力的妇女比例分别为24%、23.1%和10.1%。寻求非正式帮助（家庭）的妇女比不寻求家庭帮助的妇女经历过情感虐待的可能性高2.42倍（OR = 2.42; CI 1.29-4.55）。无论是正式或非正式的求助显着相关的身体或性暴力。结果可能表明，妇女在寻求帮助时面临困难，埃塞俄比亚的文化和社会规范容忍IPV作为家庭生活的可接受部分。
Although intimate partner violence (IPV) is a widespread phenomenon in Ethiopia, the relationship between help-seeking sources and IPV is not well understood. Better understanding of this relationship could play a role in preventing IPV. We used data collected in the 2016 Ethiopia Demographic and Health Survey and limited our study to women who have ever been married, aged 15 to 49 years (n = 4469). Overall, the proportions of women who have ever experienced emotional abuse, physical, or sexual violence were 24%, 23.1%, and 10.1%. Women who sought informal help (family) were 2.42 times more likely (OR = 2.42; CI 1.29-4.55) to have ever experienced emotional abuse than women who did not seek family help. Neither formal nor informal help-seeking significantly associated with physical or sexual violence. The results may indicate difficulties women face in seeking help and cultural and social norms that tolerate IPV as an acceptable part of family life in Ethiopia.
