South Africa has some of the highest rates of intimate partner and sexual violence globally, with prevalence ranging from 10% to 21% among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW). Yet, few studies characterize the relationship between violence and resilience. Identifying factors associated with resilience following exposure to violence can guide the development of strength-based interventions that change modifiable protective factors to bolster resilience. Data were derived from a cross-sectional survey of AGYW aged 15 to 24 years in South Africa that took place from 2017 to 2018. This survey was part of a national evaluation of a South African combination HIV intervention for AGYW funded by the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB, and Malaria. A sample of 4,399 observations was achieved through a systematic random sampling frame of 35% of households in districts where AGYW were at highest risk for HIV, and where the intervention was implemented. Resilience was assessed using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. Intimate partner and sexual violence were assessed using: (a) an adapted version of a questionnaire from the World Health Organization’s 2005 multicountry study on domestic violence against women, and (b) questions on lifetime experience of forced sex/rape. Nearly a third of AGYW (29.6%) reported intimate partner emotional and/or physical and/or sexual violence in the past year. Nearly a quarter of AGYW (23.74%) reported emotional violence, 17.48% reported physical violence, and 6.37% reported sexual violence from intimate partners. Nearly 8% (7.72%) reported forced sex/rape from intimate partners and/or nonpartners. More equitable gender norms, higher social support, and hazardous drinking were positively associated with higher resilience among those who experienced physical or sexual violence. This study addresses a gap in the resilience and violence literature. Future research should focus on the development of resilience-promoting interventions for individuals who have experienced violence.

在南非经历过亲密伴侣暴力和性暴力的少女和年轻女性的复原力预测因子

南非是全球亲密伴侣暴力和性暴力发生率最高的国家之一,少女和年轻女性 (AGYW) 的患病率从 10% 到 21% 不等。然而,很少有研究描述暴力与复原力之间的关系。识别与暴力暴露后恢复力相关的因素可以指导基于力量的干预措施的发展,这些干预措施可以改变可修改的保护因素以增强恢复力。数据来自于 2017 年至 2018 年对南非 15 至 24 岁的 AGYW 进行的横断面调查。该调查是全球基金资助的南非针对 AGYW 的艾滋病毒联合干预国家评估的一部分,旨在抗击艾滋病、结核病和疟疾。4个样本,通过对 AGYW 感染艾滋病毒风险最高的地区以及实施干预措施的地区 35% 的家庭进行系统随机抽样,获得了 399 项观察结果。使用康纳戴维森复原力量表评估复原力。使用以下方法评估亲密伴侣和性暴力:(a) 世界卫生组织 2005 年关于针对妇女的家庭暴力的多国研究调查问卷的改编版,以及 (b) 关于强迫性/强奸的终生经历的问题。近三分之一的 AGYW(29.6%)在过去一年中报告了亲密伴侣的情感和/或身体和/或性暴力。近四分之一的 AGYW (23.74%) 报告了情感暴力,17.48% 报告了身体暴力,6.37% 报告了来自亲密伴侣的性暴力。近 8% (7. 72%) 报告来自亲密伴侣和/或非伴侣的强迫性行为/强奸。更公平的性别规范、更高的社会支持和危险饮酒与遭受身体或性暴力的人的复原力更高呈正相关。这项研究解决了复原力和暴力文献中的空白。未来的研究应侧重于为遭受暴力的个人制定促进复原力的干预措施。
