据报告,全球土著人口中的人际暴力发生率高于非土著人口,但尚未在瑞典的萨米人中进行彻底调查。本研究的目的是调查:(1)情绪的患病率,物理,性暴力和亲密伴侣的暴力,家庭成员,熟人,参与者中的陌生人认同为萨米人或瑞典人,(2)报告历史损失和歧视的经历是否介导了认定为萨米人与报告暴力经历之间的预期联系,(3)背景特征是否与报告暴力经历有关。使用了2021年为“萨普米的健康和生活条件”研究收集的横截面问卷数据。瑞典北极地区的所有成年人都被邀请参加(应答率:41%)。本研究包括自我识别为Sámi(n=375;24.7%)或瑞典人(n=1,144;75.3%)的受访者。男女萨米人的受访者更经常报告熟人或陌生人的暴力行为。同样,萨米人比瑞典妇女报告的家庭暴力多(16.4%vs.9.2%),但在亲密伴侣暴力方面没有区别(13.3%vs.15.4%)。调解分析揭示了历史损失和歧视对不同类型暴力的强烈积极间接影响。女性是报告亲密伴侣暴力的最强预测因素,年轻的年龄与除家庭成员外的所有肇事者的暴力行为有关。总之,萨米人受访者更经常报告人际暴力,但是历史损失和歧视的经验充分解释了这种关联。结果强调了在调查人际暴力时,生命历程甚至代际和历史观点的重要性。
The prevalence of interpersonal
violence has been reported at higher levels among Indigenous than non-Indigenous populations worldwide, but has not been thoroughly investigated among the Sámi population in Sweden. The aims of this study were to investigate: (1) the prevalence of emotional, physical, and sexual violence and violence by intimate partners, family members, acquaintances, and strangers among participants identifying as Sámi or Swedish, (2) whether reporting experiences of historical losses and discrimination mediated the anticipated association between identifying as Sámi and reporting experiences of violence, and (3) whether background characteristics were associated with reporting experiences of
violence. Cross-sectional questionnaire data collected in 2021 for the \"Health and Living conditions in Sápmi\" study were used. All adults in an arctic region in Sweden were invited to participate (response rate: 41%). Respondents self-identifying as Sámi (n = 375; 24.7%) or Swedish (n = 1,144; 75.3%) were included in this study. Sámi respondents of both sexes more often reported
violence by an acquaintance or stranger. Likewise, more Sámi than Swedish women reported family violence (16.4% vs. 9.2%), but there was no difference concerning intimate partner
violence (13.3% vs. 15.4%). Mediation analyses revealed strong positive indirect effects of historical losses and discrimination on the different types of violence. Being female was the strongest predictor of reporting intimate partner violence, and younger age was associated with
violence by all perpetrators except family members. In conclusion, interpersonal violence was more often reported by Sámi respondents, but the association was explained in full by experiences of historical losses and discrimination. The results underline the importance of a life-course and even intergenerational and historical perspectives when investigating interpersonal violence.
