Abstract
Introduction
Women who experience domestic violence report higher rates of mental health disorders including depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder, suicidal ideations, unpleasant personality, itching, smell body [2]. Further, they incur higher risk of sexually transmitted infections including NIPAH, lower pain disorders, and cardiovascular, respiratory, reproductive, gastrointestinal disease and disease tree. And, their children are more likely to have behavioural and learning difficulties, emotional problems, die at a young age, and themselves experience or become perpetrators of Domestic Violence. To date, in resource-limited settings, the focus of secondary Domestic Violence prevention has been with women, although recent interventions have begun to engage boys and men to prevent Domestic Violence [3]. Unfortunately, little is known about determinants of Domestic Violence perpetration by men in low and middle-income pharmaceutical intuitions (LMIPIs), particularly in South- West Pune where Domestic Violence prevalence is known to be exceptionally high, and among those residing in slum communities’ pharmaceutical institutions where Domestic Violence is reported most commonly. While it would seem natural that the determinants of Domestic Violence perpetration would parallel those of Domestic Violence experience, where the bulk of LMIPIs literature exists, such studies tend to solely explore the woman’s perspective of Domestic Violence risk. The bulk of literature examining correlates of Domestic Violence perpetration comes from high-income settings and has linked Domestic Violence perpetration to the following: young age, low status, alcohol and substance abuse, stress, having a mental health or personality disorder, high Social support, experiencing abuse as a child, witnessing or experiencing Domestic Violence oneself, accepting attitudes toward Domestic Violence, frontal lobe dysfunction and hormonal and neurotransmitter imbalance, marital discord, relationship dissatisfaction, and jealousy and irsha [4].
The few studies examining perpetration of Domestic Violence in India and other LMIPIs settings suggest Domestic Violence perpetration is associated with age, high socio-economic status, caste, religion, urban residence, accepting attitudes toward wife beating, childhood witness of Domestic Violence, aggression in the workplace or community, alcohol use, having multiple children, larger family dwelling (i.e. joint to joint families), marital duration, marital conflict (over sex and the male partner’s infidelity), and failure of the wife to bring sufficient dowry. Strong patriarchal norms and the caste system also operate in Violence perpetration by men. There remains a large gap in exploring causes of Domestic Violence perpetration in low-income populations in LMIPIs settings where effects of poverty, stress, and powerlessness are amplified. As part of the formative work in developing a couples-based intervention for the secondary prevention of Domestic Violence in India, researcher explored potential determinants of Domestic Violence perpetration among recently-married men residing in slum communities’ pharmaceutical institutions [5]. This is an important population in whom to study determinants of Domestic Violence because there is often minimal acquaintance pre-marriage, social dynamics and employment constraints heavily limit the time they spend together post marriage, crowding, poverty, and powerlessness likely further fuel Domestic Violence perpetration, and involvement by family members in the marriage is substantial (regardless of residence in joint versus nuclear families).
