背景：本文详细研究了纠正孩子行为的母性行为与母亲对亲密伴侣暴力的暴露和态度之间的关系。方法：从2005年埃及人口与健康调查中检索到具有全国代表性的14016名已婚妇女的数据。我们主要感兴趣的是用于纠正儿童行为的做法、接触IPV的情况、对IPV的态度。采用卡方检验和Logistic回归分析。结果：大部分母亲报告使用暴力手段纠正儿童行为，如大叫(90.6%)、殴打(69.1%)和打耳光(39.3%)。7%的母亲只使用解释选项。接触物理IPV和对IPV的宽容态度与使用暴力方法(叫喊、殴打或打耳光)纠正儿童行为的风险增加相关。另一方面，对IPV的不容忍态度与单独使用解释方法的可能性增加相关。结论：因此，我们建议实施以沟通技能为重点的当地父母教育计划，以减少IPV和相关的儿童虐待。
BACKGROUND: This paper scrutinizes the association between maternal practices to correct child behavior and the mothers' exposure to and attitudes towards intimate partner violence (IPV).METHODS: Nationally representative data comprising 14 016 married women were retrieved from the Egyptian Demographic and Health Survey, 2005. Data on practices used to correct child behavior, exposure to IPV, attitudes towards IPV were our primary interest. Data were analyzed using Chi-square test and logistic regression.RESULTS: The majority of the mothers reported use of violent methods, like shouting (90.6%), striking (69.1%) and slapping (39.3%) to correct child behavior. Seven percent of the mothers used only the explanation option. Exposure to physical IPV and tolerant attitudes towards IPV were associated with an augmented risk of using violent methods (shouting, striking or slapping) to correct child behavior. On the other hand non-tolerant attitudes towards IPV were associated with increased likelihood of sole use of the explanation method.CONCLUSIONS: We thus recommend the implementation of local parental education programs focusing on communicative skills to reduce IPV and related child abuse.
