暴力侵害妇女行为是一个重大的公共卫生问题，影响到全球三分之一以上妇女的身体、性、精神和社会福祉。从人权、经济和健康角度来看，埃塞俄比亚境内对妇女的暴力行为被广泛认为是一个令人严重关切的问题。这项研究的目的是评估埃塞俄比亚对妇女的亲密伴侣暴力行为的普遍程度和相关因素。方法数据来自2016年埃塞俄比亚人口与健康调查，这是作为全球项目的一部分在埃塞俄比亚进行的第四次调查。样本采用分层、两阶段整群抽样设计，数据采用logistic回归模型进行分析。结果：共有4714名已婚育龄妇女报告了他们的配偶暴力的经验，被认为是从9个地区的国家和两个城市的行政。超过30%的研究参与者接受了IPV。居住在农村地区，离婚，小学和中学教育，25-39岁，贫穷被认为是埃塞俄比亚妇女IPV的预测因素。结论埃塞俄比亚IPV的流行率较高，政府和有关部门应制定适当的战略，努力解决这一问题。需要特别关注生活在农村地区的妇女、贫困家庭的妇女和25-39岁的妇女，以减轻IPV的负担。
Background Violence against women is a major public health problem that affects the physical, sexual, mental, and social wellbeing of more than one third of all women globally. Violence against women in Ethiopia is widely acknowledged to be of great concern from human rights, economic and health perspective. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) against women and associated factors in Ethiopia. Method The data was obtained from 2016 Ethiopia Demographic and Health Survey which is the fourth survey conducted in Ethiopia as part of the worldwide project. The sample was selected using a stratified; two-stage cluster sampling design and the data was analyzed using logistic regression model. Result A total of 4714 ever-married women in reproductive age who reported their experience of spousal violence were considered from nine regional states and two city administratives. Over 30% of study participants were subjected to IPV. Living in rural areas, divorced, primary and secondary education, 25-39 years old, being poor are found to be predictors of IPV against women in Ethiopia. Conclusion The prevalence of IPV was found high in Ethiopia and government and any concerned bodies should design appropriate strategy and work hard to tackle the problem. There is a need of giving special attention for women living in rural area, women from poor family and 25-39 years old women to decrease the burden of IPV.
