Domestic violence (DV) is a prevalent social problems that threaten individuals’ health and well-being, and the issue of DV in Asian communities requires extensive and comprehensive investigation. Following the steps by Arksey and O’Malley, a scoping review was conducted to (a) summarize and synthesize existing quantitative evidence on the topic of DV in Asian immigrant communities in North America, and (b) identify research gaps in the literature to guide future work. Inclusion criteria were that (a) the studies must comprise a sample of Asian immigrants in North America, (b) the focus of the article was specifically on individuals’ experiences of DV in the past year or lifetime, (c) DV was measured as either independent or dependent variable, (d) full-text publications written in English, (e) articles must be peer-reviewed, quantitative studies. On completion of the review process, 35 full-text articles were identified for review. Across studies, five main topics emerged: factors related to DV victimization, prevalence and forms of DV, individuals’ attitudes and/or perceptions about DV, DV-related consequences, and intervention evaluation. Some less common topics include help-seeking behaviors and sources and culturally responsive scales. The findings of this review suggest that future research will benefit from using a nationally representative Asian sample and culturally sensitive tools, examining potential protective factors against DV victimization, and employing an experimental design to evaluate the effectiveness of culturally sensitive interventions. Policies should provide stronger support to agencies and practitioners to deliver culturally sensitive services.

亚洲社区的家庭暴力：定量文献的范围审查


家庭暴力（DV）是威胁个人健康和福祉的普遍社会问题，亚洲社区的DV问题需要广泛而全面的调查。按照 Arksey 和 O'Malley 的步骤，进行了范围界定审查，以 (a) 总结和综合有关北美亚裔移民社区家庭暴力主题的现有定量证据，以及 (b) 确定文献中的研究空白以指导未来的工作。纳入标准是 (a) 研究必须包括北美的亚洲移民样本，(b) 文章的重点是个人在过去一年或一生中遭受家庭暴力的经历，(c) 家庭暴力的衡量标准为自变量或因变量，(d) 以英文撰写的全文出版物，(e) 文章必须经过同行评审、定量研究。审查过程完成后，确定了 35 篇全文文章进行审查。通过研究，出现了五个主要主题：与家庭暴力受害相关的因素、家庭暴力的患病率和形式、个人对家庭暴力的态度和/或看法、家庭暴力相关后果以及干预评估。一些不太常见的主题包括寻求帮助的行为和来源以及文化响应量表。本次综述的结果表明，未来的研究将受益于使用具有全国代表性的亚洲样本和文化敏感工具、检查防止家庭暴力受害的潜在保护因素以及采用实验设计来评估文化敏感干预措施的有效性。政策应为机构和从业人员提供更有力的支持，以提供文化敏感的服务。
