亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）是韩国移民群体中一个严重的健康和社会问题。为了确定可能与她们最初遭受 IPV 受害以及受到伴侣持续受害有关的风险因素，本研究调查了韩国移民妇女的社会孤立、文化压力和 IPV 受害之间的关系。本研究采用病例对照设计，招募了 127 名参与者（64 名 IPV 受害者和 63 名非受害者）。这项研究的结果表明，韩国移民妇女的文化压力和缺乏社会支持（即社会孤立）与 IPV 受害独立相关。然而，社会支持对 IPV 没有压力缓冲作用。此外，文化适应压力在一定程度上介导了社会孤立（缺乏社会支持）对 IPV 的影响。根据这项研究的结果，我们随后讨论了防止进一步受害的政策含义，重点关注社交网络和文化压力。
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious health and social problem among Korean immigrant population. To identify risk factors that might be related to their initial IPV victimization as well as their continuous victimization by their partners, this study examined the relationship between social isolation, acculturative stress and IPV victimization among Korean immigrant women. Using the case-control design, 127 participants (64 IPV victims and 63 non-victims) were recruited for this study. The findings of this study revealed that acculturative stress and a lack of social support (i.e., social isolation) among Korean immigrant women are independently associated with IPV victimization. However, social support did not have a stress-buffering role for IPV. Also, acculturative stress partially mediates the effect of social isolation (lack of social support) on IPV. Based on this study's findings, we then discuss policy implications to prevent further victimization focusing on social network and acculturative stress.
