Abstract | Introduction : Contrary to the general perception that intimate partner
violence (IPV) diminishes as relationship partners grow old, a sizeable
proportion of older persons remain victims of abuse by their partners.
This study investigated prevalence and psychological impact of IPV in
a representative sample of older Chinese. Method : A sub-sample of
participants aged 60 or above and who were married at the time of the
interview were extracted from a representative population study
conducted in 2012. The following analysis includes a total of 320 older
Chinese (195 males and 125 females, mean age = 69.98). Information
of interest include participants demographic characteristics, past year
and life time experience of domestic violence (Revised Conflict
Tactics Scale - CTS2), and depressive symptoms (Center for
Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale - CES-D). Results : IPV is
common in this sample. Past year prevalence rates for psychological
aggression, physical assault, and injury by partner were 39.4%, 5.9%,
and 0.3% respectively. Life time prevalence rates were 53.1% 11.3%,
0.6% respectively. No gender difference was observed (p>.05). The
various forms of IPV were highly correlated with each other (r ranged
from .19 to .95, p<.001). Past year physical assault and injury were
associated with depressive symptoms (r=.13 & .14, p<.05) and so were
life time physical assault and injury (r=.15 &.14). Psychological
aggression, however, was not associated with depression symptoms
(p>.05). Conclusion : A large proportion of older Chinese men and
women experience IPV. Experience of IPV is mildly associated with
depressive symptoms. |
