目前尚不清楚寻求民事保护令的亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）受害者与不寻求民事保护令的IPV受害者有何不同。方法对华盛顿州西雅图市发生的一起IPV事件中与警方或法院有联系的448名妇女进行访谈，比较有保护令和没有保护令妇女的特征。收集的数据包括受试者及其施虐者的人口统计学特征、虐待史以及受试者的身心健康状况。结果获得保护令的性侵犯受害人比未获得保护令的性侵犯受害人更容易找到全职工作、怀孕、已婚、年龄在24岁以上，且在指数事件中与加害人发生关系的可能性更小。两组的肇事者相似，并且大多数人目前或以前有酒精/药物问题和以前的犯罪史。这两组受害者在前一年都遭受过心理和身体上的虐待，几乎所有人都有抑郁症的症状。然而，在指数事件中，寻求保护令的妇女受到人身攻击或伤害的可能性较小，但更有可能受到家人或朋友的人身攻击。结论经济独立和家人或朋友的虐待是影响IPV寻求保护令的重要因素。
BackgroundIt is unknown how victims of intimate partner violence (IPV) who seek civil protection orders differ from IPV victims who do not.MethodsTo compare characteristics of women with and without protection orders, 448 women with police or court contact for an IPV incident in Seattle, Washington, were interviewed. Data collected included demographic characteristics of the subject and her abuser, abuse history, and the subject’s mental and physical health.ResultsIPV victims who obtained protection orders were more likely than victims without protection orders to be employed full-time, be pregnant, be married, aged over 24, and less likely to be involved with perpetrator at index incident. The perpetrators for both groups were similar, and the majority had a current or previous alcohol/drug problem and a previous criminal history. Both groups of victims had been psychologically and physically abused during the previous year and nearly all had symptoms of depression. However, at the index incident, women who sought protection orders were less likely to be physically assaulted or injured, but more likely to have family members or friends physically assaulted.ConclusionsFinancial independence and abuse of family or friends are important factors associated with the decision to seek a protection order in IPV.
