背景：在孟加拉国，亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)的一些个体危险因素已被确定。目的：我们研究亲眼目睹父母间身体暴力(IPPV)是否与IPV有关，以确定IPV是否在孟加拉国代代相传。方法：我们使用2007年孟加拉国人口与健康调查中具有全国代表性的已婚妇女数据。体验IPV的差异通过卡方检验进行评估。Logistic回归模型适用于确定IPPV与不同类型的IPV对妇女的影响之间的关系。结果：四分之一的女性目睹过IPPV并经历过IPV。在调整协变量后，发生IPPV的女性经历任何类型IPV的可能性是2.4(95%可信区间：2.0-2.8)倍，经历中度身体IPV的可能性是2.5(95%CI：2.0-3.0)倍，经历严重物理IPV的可能性是2.3(95%CI：1.8-3.0)倍，经历性行为IPV的可能性是1.8(95%CI：1.4-2.3)倍。年龄、初婚年龄、文化程度、工作状况、财富、合理殴打妻子和妇女自主权也是影响IPV的显著因素。结论：本研究结果表明IPV代代相传。我们提出了预防IPPV的建议，以便在孟加拉国，后代能够在不接触IPV的情况下，在婚姻生活中享受健康、尊重和非暴力的关系。
Background: A number of individual risk factors for intimate partner violence (IPV) have been identified in Bangladesh. However, the etiology of IPV, intergenerational transmission, has never been tested in Bangladesh.Objective: We examined whether witnessing inter-parental physical violence (IPPV) was associated with IPV to identify whether IPV passes across generations in Bangladesh.Methods: We used nationally representative data of currently married women from the Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey-2007. Variations in experiencing IPV were assessed by Chi-square tests. Logistic regression models were fit to determine the association between witnessing IPPV and different types of IPV against women.Results: One-fourth of women witnessed IPPV and experienced IPV. After adjusting for the covariates, women who witnessed IPPV were 2.4 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.0-2.8) times more likely to experience any kind of IPV, 2.5 (95% CI: 2.0-3.0) times more likely to experience moderate physical IPV, 2.3 (95% CI: 1.8-3.0) times more likely to experience severe physical IPV, and 1.8 (95% CI: 1.4- 2.3) times more likely to experience sexual IPV. Age, age at first marriage, literacy, work status, wealth, justified wife beating, and women's autonomy were also identified as significant correlates of IPV.Conclusions: This study's results indicate that IPV passes from one generation to another. We make recommendations for preventing IPPV so that subsequent generations can enjoy healthy, respectful, nonviolent relationships in married life without exposure to IPV in Bangladesh.
