研究人员认为，伴侣暴力（PV）是一个多维和异质的现象，需要以多种方式来衡量，以捕捉其范围，程度，严重程度和潜在的后果。几项大规模的基于人群的研究表明，在一年的时间内，大约40%-50%的PV受害者是男性;无论研究重点是物理PV还是几种形式的PV组合，这一发现都是一致的。然而，没有人调查过不同形式的PV如何导致男性受害者的心理健康状况不佳，尽管研究表明，身体，心理和性PV对女性受害者的健康状况不佳有独特的影响。目前的研究调查了六种形式的PV -身体，性，严重的心理，控制，法律的/行政（LA）和伤害-如何导致611名寻求帮助的PV男性受害者的健康状况不佳。我们发现，在控制了人口统计学和其他创伤经历后，PV的组合对男性的抑郁症、创伤后应激障碍、身体健康和健康状况不佳症状产生了显著的独特差异。PV受害形式之间的共同差异是受害者健康状况不佳的最大贡献者;贡献最独特差异的PV类型是控制行为、LA攻击、性攻击和伤害。讨论的重点是这些发现的研究和实践意义。
Researchers argue that partner violence (PV) is a multidimensional and heterogeneous phenomenon that needs to be measured in multiple ways to capture its range, extent, severity, and potential consequences. Several large scale, population-based studies show that about 40%–50% of PV victims in a one-year time period are men; this finding is consistent whether the study focuses on physical PV or a combination of several forms of PV. However, no one has investigated how the different forms of PV contribute to male victims’ poor mental health, although research suggests that physical, psychological, and sexual PV contribute unique variance to female victims’ poor health. The current study investigated how six forms of PV – physical, sexual, severe psychological, controlling, legal/administrative (LA), and injury – contributed to the poor health of 611 male victims of PV who sought help. We found that the combination of PV contributed significant unique variance to men’s depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, physical health, and poor health symptoms, after controlling for demographic and other traumatic experiences. The common variance among the forms of PV victimization was the strongest contributor to victims’ poor health; the types of PV that contributed the most unique variance were controlling behaviors, LA aggression, sexual aggression, and injury. Discussion focuses on the research and practice implications of these findings.
