导语：亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)和性暴力(SV)是女大学生面临的严重问题。大约三分之一的妇女在一生中经历过身体暴力或性暴力。女大学生IPV和SV的患病率均较高。这项二次分析的目的是描述大学女生报告的暴力经历及其相关因素。方法：这项二次分析包括大学卫生中心IPV/SV筛查的横断面研究数据。来自美国东北部五所大学的18岁至25岁的女本科生被随机抽样，通过电子邮件联系，并被邀请参与这项研究。873名年轻妇女符合纳入标准，并完成了调查措施。结果：超过一半(52%，n=457)的女大学生报告一生中至少经历过一次暴力事件。近12%的学生报告在前一学期经历过IPV或SV。对于报告最近遭受暴力的妇女来说，强迫的不受欢迎的性行为占所有报告的暴力事件的近一半(n=46)。周末大量饮酒与强迫性行为有关。讨论：这些结果突出了过去和最近的IPV/SV的流行以及大学女性中风险的增加。需要进一步的研究来确定受害和犯罪的风险因素以及大学校园的风险环境。法医护士应该是制定和实施暴力教育、筛查和转诊干预措施的关键利益相关者。
Introduction: Intimate partner violence (IPV) and sexual violence (SV) are serious issues for female college students. Approximately one third of women have experienced physical violence or SV in their lifetime. Female college students experience high rates of both IPV and SV. The purpose of this secondary analysis was to describe the experiences of violence and associated factors reported by college women. Methods: This secondary analysis included data from a cross-sectional study focused on IPV/SV screening in college health centers. Random samples of female undergraduate students, aged 18-25 years, from five participating universities in the northeastern United States were contacted via email and invited to participate in the study. Eight hundred seventy-three young women met the inclusion criteria and completed survey measures. Results: More than half (52%, n = 457) of female undergraduate students reported having experienced at least one episode of violence in their lifetime. Almost 12% reported experiencing IPV or SV during the preceding semester. For women reporting recent experiences of violence, forced unwanted sexual activities accounted for nearly half of all reported episodes of violence (n = 46). Heavier alcohol drinking on the weekends was correlated with reports of forced sex. Discussion: The results highlight the prevalence of past and recent IPV/SV and increased risk among college women. Further research is needed to identify risk factors of both victimization and perpetration and the milieu of risk on college campuses. Forensic nurses should be key stakeholders in the development and implementation of interventions for violence education, screening, and referral.
