Domestic violence and abuse (DVA) is a form of interpersonal violence perpetrated by intimate partners or family members. It includes physical, sexual, psychological, emotional, and economic abuse, as well as coercive and controlling behaviors. DVA is associated with severe physical, psychological, social, and economic consequences for the victims. Muslim women, like women from all communities, experience DVA in its various forms, however, they may experience additional barriers when seeking support. This review was conducted using a meta-ethnography approach to synthesize published qualitative evidence on Muslim women’s perspectives and experiences of DVA. A systematic search of global evidence in six electronic English databases including Medline, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science, PsycINFO, and ASSIA identified a total of 33 qualitative studies that met the inclusion criteria. The synthesis of these studies revealed four major themes: the experience and impacts of abuse; risk factors contributing to abuse; help-seeking; and the coping strategies of Muslim women. These findings emphasize the importance of religion not only as a risk factor for violence and a barrier to help-seeking but also as a coping strategy for dealing with violence. The findings offer important insights for policymaking and in supporting these women more effectively.

家庭暴力和虐待 （DVA） 是由亲密伴侣或家庭成员实施的一种人际暴力形式。它包括身体、性、心理、情感和经济虐待，以及胁迫和控制行为。DVA 与受害者的严重身体、心理、社会和经济后果有关。穆斯林女性与来自所有社区的女性一样，经历各种形式的 DVA，但是，她们在寻求支持时可能会遇到额外的障碍。本综述使用元民族志方法进行，以综合已发表的关于穆斯林女性对 DVA 的看法和经历的定性证据。在包括 Medline、CINAHL、Scopus、Web of Science、PsycINFO 和 ASSIA 在内的 6 个电子英语数据库中对全球证据进行系统检索，共确定了 33 项符合纳入标准的定性研究。这些研究的综合揭示了四个主要主题：虐待的经历和影响;导致虐待的风险因素;寻求帮助;以及穆斯林妇女的应对策略。这些发现强调了宗教的重要性，不仅是暴力的危险因素和寻求帮助的障碍，而且是应对暴力的应对策略。研究结果为政策制定和更有效地支持这些女性提供了重要的见解。
