背景以往的研究表明，家庭暴力（DV）和自我伤害（SH）之间存在关联。然而，DV的患病率和临床意义的个人提出急性到医院SH在英国是未知的。目的了解住院SH患者DV的患病率及其相关因素。方法我们进行了一项横断面研究，使用登记数据，以描述DV的患病率在英国人口的人提出的急诊科（艾德）SH（n=1142）。结果11.1%（95%CI 9.4%-13.1%）的样本报告DV。报告家庭暴力的人更有可能是女性，并且与伴侣分居。DV与自我中毒和既往SH的发生有关。结论我们的研究结果表明，DV复发在那些表现为艾德自我伤害的人群中比一般艾德就诊人群中更普遍，DV的存在可能意味着那些表现为艾德自我伤害的人群中风险增加。
Background Previous research suggests that there is an association between domestic violence (DV) and self-harm (SH). Yet, the prevalence and clinical significance of DV among individuals presenting acutely to hospital with SH in the UK is unknown. Objective To measure the prevalence and correlates of DV among patients presenting to hospital with SH. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study using registry data in order to describe the prevalence of DV within a UK population of people presenting to the emergency department (ED) with SH (n=1142). Results 11.1% (95% CI 9.4% to 13.1%) of the sample reported DV. Those reporting DV were more likely to be female and separated from a partner. DV was associated with self-poisoning and with previous occurrence of SH. Conclusion Our findings suggest that DV victimisation is more prevalent among those presenting to ED with self-harm than among the general population of ED attenders, and that the presence of DV may signify increased risk among those presenting to ED with SH.
