背景尽管广泛的种族隔离相关的侵犯人权行为（HRV）和亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）在南非，研究调查的影响，HRV对IPV的performation.Methods本研究分析的数据，从南非压力和健康研究，从2003年至2004年进行的横断面调查与4351南非审查与种族隔离相关的公共卫生问题。分析仅限于已婚或曾与女性伴侣同居的男性。Logistic回归被用来检查HRV和终身物理IPV的permission.Results的经验之间的关联，共有772名南非男子符合研究标准（389解放支持者和383政府支持者）。调整后的逻辑回归分析表明，在解放支持者中，经历主要心率变异性之间存在显着关联，（AOR 2.40，95% CI 1.20 - 4.81），监护相关HRV（AOR 6.61，95% CI 2.00至21.83），亲密朋友/家庭成员的骚扰（AOR 3.38，95% CI 1.26至9.07）和身体IPV犯罪。在政府的支持者，一个显着的关联之间观察到经历HRV（AOR 2.99，95%CI 1.34至6.65）和亲密的朋友/直系亲属（AOR 5.42，95%CI 1.44至19.02）和IPV permission.Conclusion这项工作表明，男性的经验与HRV的IPV犯风险的重要性。未来的工作需要了解所观察到的关系的机制，特别是关于心理健康和性别规范的建议，目前的文献，以通知在南非和其他地区受政治动机的冲突的干预措施。
Background Despite widespread apartheid-related human rights violations (HRV) and intimate partner violence (IPV) in South Africa, research investigating the influence of HRV on IPV perpetration is scarce.Methods This study analysed data from the South Africa Stress and Health Study, a cross-sectional survey conducted from 2003 to 2004 with 4351 South Africans examining public health concerns associated with apartheid. Analyses were restricted to men who had ever been married or had ever cohabited with a female partner. Logistic regression was used to examine associations between experiences of HRV and lifetime physical IPV perpetration.Results A total of 772 South Africa men met the study criteria (389 liberation supporters and 383 government supporters). Adjusted logistic regression analyses indicated that among liberation supporters, a significant association existed between experiencing major HRV (AOR 2.40, 95% CI 1.20 to 4.81), custody-related HRV (AOR 6.61, 95% CI 2.00 to 21.83), victimisation of close friends/family members (AOR 3.38, 95% CI 1.26 to 9.07) and physical IPV perpetration. Among government supporters, a significant association was observed between experiencing HRV (AOR 2.99, 95% CI 1.34 to 6.65) and victimisation of close friends/immediate family (AOR 5.42, 95% CI 1.44 to 19.02) and IPV perpetration.Conclusion This work indicates the importance of men's experiences with HRV with regard to IPV perpetration risk. Future work is needed to understand the mechanisms underlying the observed relationships, particularly regarding mental health and gender norms as suggested by current literature, in order to inform interventions in South Africa and other regions affected by politically motivated conflict.
