这项具有代表性的全国性调查研究了韩国妇女（N = 1 079）过去一年中丈夫对妻子暴力的发生率、一生中遭受父母暴力的情况以及家庭暴力受害经历与心理健康之间的关系。主要调查结果是，韩国妇女中丈夫对妻子的暴力发生率为29.5%，远远高于其他国家，她们在过去一年中遭受丈夫身体暴力的经历和一生中遭受父母言语虐待的经历与受害者的心理健康密切相关。研究结果表明，男性肇事者以及家庭暴力受害者的心理健康问题和韩国夫妇的综合干预措施的预防性干预计划是迫切需要的。此外，父母应该接受教育，了解如何在不体罚或辱骂的情况下改变孩子的行为。
This representative national survey examined incidence of husband-to-wife violence in the past year, lifetime exposure to parental violence, and the relationships between victimization experiences of family violence and mental health among South Korean women (N = 1,079). The major findings were that incidence rate of husband-to-wife violence among Korean women was 29.5%, which was much higher than those of other nations, and that their experiences of physical violence by husbands in the last year and lifetime verbal abuse by parents had strong associations with the mental health of victims. The findings suggest that preventive intervention programs for male perpetrators as well as domestic violence victims with mental health problems and comprehensive interventions for Korean couples are urgently needed. In addition, parents should be educated about how to modify their children's behavior without physical punishment or verbal abuse.
