Intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) is a global public health problem where multiple factors, such as the perceptions and attitudes toward IPVAW, should be considered to properly address this issue. This systematic review and meta-analysis synthesized the information available about perceived severity of IPVAW by different actors (e.g., victims, perpetrators, students, and professionals), analyzed the relationship between attitudes toward IPVAW and perceived severity of IPVAW, and examined gender differences in perceived severity of IPVAW. A systematic search was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines using Web of Science, Scopus, and ProQuest databases. Studies were included if they (a) provide information about perceived severity of IPVAW (physical, psychological, or sexual violence); (b) the relationship between perception of severity of IPVAW and attitudes toward IPVAW was analyzed empirically; (c) the languages of publication were English or Spanish; and (d) they were not theoretical studies or reviews. To this end, two independent researchers selected studies, resolving discrepancies with a third researcher. A total of 27 studies were included in systematic review and 12 in the meta-analysis. The results showed that men perceived IPVAW as less severe than women. Likewise, a negative relationship was found between perceived IPVAW severity and favorable attitudes toward IPVAW, such as sexist views, victim blaming, excusing the perpetrator, rape myth acceptance, and traditional gender roles adherence. The Classic Fail-Safe was calculated to ensure the finding was robust against potential publication bias. These findings highlight some of the potential factors to focus on IPVAW prevention programs. However, the number of studies included were limited, requiring more research to generalize the results.

亲密伴侣暴力的严重程度如何被感知并与态度变量相关？系统回顾和荟萃分析


亲密伴侣暴力侵害妇女行为（IPVAW）是一个全球性的公共卫生问题，应考虑对IPVAW的认知和态度等多种因素来妥善解决这一问题。这项系统回顾和荟萃分析综合了不同行为者（例如受害者、施暴者、学生和专业人士）对 IPVAW 感知严重性的现有信息，分析了对 IPVAW 的态度与 IPVAW 感知严重性之间的关系，并研究了 IPVAW 中的性别差异。 IPVAW 的严重程度。使用 Web of Science、Scopus 和 ProQuest 数据库，根据系统评价和荟萃分析指南的首选报告项目进行系统检索。如果研究 (a) 提供了有关 IPVAW 严重程度（身体、心理或性暴力）的信息； (b) 对 IPVAW 严重程度的认知与对 IPVAW 的态度之间的关系进行了实证分析； (c) 出版语言为英语或西班牙语； (d) 它们不是理论研究或评论。为此，两名独立研究人员选择了研究，解决了与第三名研究人员的差异。共有 27 项研究纳入系统评价，12 项研究纳入荟萃分析。结果显示，男性认为 IPVAW 的严重程度低于女性。同样，人们对 IPVAW 严重性的感知与对 IPVAW 的有利态度之间也存在负相关关系，例如性别歧视观点、指责受害者、为肇事者开脱、接受强奸神话以及遵守传统性别角色。经典的防故障计算是为了确保研究结果对潜在的发表偏见具有稳健性。 这些发现突出了关注 IPVAW 预防计划的一些潜在因素。然而，纳入的研究数量有限，需要更多的研究来概括结果。
