本研究旨在了解文化适应和报告亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）拉丁美洲人之间的关系。在整个洛杉矶县的公共卫生保健诊所进行了一项横断面访谈调查。使用Logistic回归来估计文化适应对报告IPV的影响。在文化适应程度更高的拉丁美洲人中观察到报告IPV的增加趋势（卡方= 41.02，p = .0006）。高度文化适应的拉丁美洲人更有可能报告IPV与最不适应的拉丁美洲人相比（患病率比值比= 2.18，95%置信水平= 0.98，4.89）和中度文化适应的拉丁美洲人更有可能报告IPV与最不适应的拉丁美洲人相比（患病率比值比= 1.29，95%置信水平= 0.69，2.43）。文化上有能力的IPV预防计划可能是显着减少暴露于这一严重公共卫生问题的妇女人数的关键。
This study sought to understand the relationship between acculturation and reporting intimate partner violence (IPV) among Latinas. A cross-sectional interviewer-administered survey was conducted at public health care clinics throughout Los Angeles County Logistic regression was used to estimate the effect of acculturation on reporting IPV Ail increasing trend of reporting IPV was observed among Latinas who were more acculturated (chi-square = 41.02, p = .0006). Highly acculturated Latinas were more likely to report IPV compared with least acculturated Latinas (prevalence odds ration = 2.18, 95% confidence level = 0.98, 4.89) and moderately acculturated Latinas were more likely to report IPV compared with least acculturated Latinas (prevalence odds ration = 1.29, 95% confidence level = 0.69, 2.43). Culturally competent IPV prevention programs may be the key to significantly reducing the number of women exposed to this serious public health problem.
