Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: Religiosity and spirituality (R/S) have been negatively associated with several mental health problems, including delinquency. The study aimed to investigate the relationship between R/S and interpersonal violence using a systematic review.
METHODS: We conducted a descriptive systematic review followed by meta-analyses using seven different databases. We included observational studies that assessed the relationship between R/S and different types of interpersonal violence (physical and sexual aggression and domestic violence).
RESULTS: A total of 16,599 articles were screened in the databases and, after applying the eligibility criteria, 67 were included in the systematic review and 43 were included in the meta-analysis. The results showed that higher levels of R/S were significantly associated with decreased physical and sexual aggression, but not domestic violence. All selected studies evidenced sufficient methodological quality, with 26.8% being cohort studies. In the subanalyses, the role of R/S was more prevalent among adolescents.
CONCLUSIONS: There is an inverse relationship between R/S and physical and sexual aggression, suggesting a protective role. However, these results were not observed for domestic violence. Healthcare professionals and managers should be aware of their patients\' beliefs when investigating interpersonal violence to create tailored interventions for reducing violent behavior.

摘要：
目标：宗教信仰和灵性（R/S）与一些心理健康问题呈负相关，包括犯罪。该研究旨在通过系统评价来调查R/S与人际暴力之间的关系。
方法：我们使用七个不同的数据库进行了描述性系统综述，然后进行了荟萃分析。我们纳入了观察性研究，评估了R/S与不同类型的人际暴力（身体和性侵犯，和家庭暴力)。
结果：数据库中总共筛选了16599篇文章，在应用资格标准后，67项研究纳入系统评价，和43在荟萃分析中。结果表明，较高的R/S水平与身体和性侵犯的减少显着相关，但不是家庭暴力.根据评估标准，所有选定的研究都证明了足够的方法学质量，其中26.8%为队列研究.在子分析中，R/S的作用在青少年中更为普遍。
结论：R/S与身体和性侵犯之间存在反比关系，暗示起保护作用.然而,这些结果没有观察到家庭暴力。在调查人际暴力时，医疗保健专业人员和管理人员应该意识到他们的患者的信念，以创建量身定制的干预措施来减少暴力行为。
