Violence against women and girls by burning is a serious and confronting form of gender-based violence. Often, perpetrators aim to disfigure their victims or cause great pain, rather than kill them. Little is known about the characteristics of females who are subjected to violence by burning. This study aimed to review the literature concerning the prevalence, demographic profile, injury event, contributing factors and health outcomes for women and girls who have experienced burn-related violence. A search across five databases (PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Scopus and LILACS) was conducted up to April 2021 to identify original peer-review research, with a focus on violence by burning against women and girls. The review was guided by the five-stage approach to integrative reviews developed by Whittemore and Knafl (2005). Fifteen studies were identified. Victims were predominantly married, with low socio-economic status, limited education, and high emotional and financial dependency on their partners or families. Burn injuries were mostly caused by flame or acid, with significant morbidity or high mortality. Motives included family/marital issues or property/financial disputes. This review identified the limited evidence available in the peer-reviewed literature related to burn-related violence against women and girls worldwide. Findings suggest the need for further research to provide a clearer understanding of the complex issues involved.

通过焚烧对妇女和女童施暴是一种严重且令人担忧的基于性别的暴力形式。通常，肇事者的目的是毁容受害者或造成极大的痛苦，而不是杀死他们。人们对遭受焚烧暴力的女性的特征知之甚少。本研究旨在回顾有关经历过烧伤相关暴力的妇女和女孩的患病率、人口统计概况、伤害事件、促成因素和健康结果的文献。截至 2021 年 4 月，对五个数据库（PubMed、CINAHL、PsycINFO、Scopus 和 LILACS）进行了搜索，以确定原始的同行评审研究，重点是针对妇女和女童的焚烧暴力。审查以 Whittemore 和 Knafl（2005 年）开发的五阶段综合审查方法为指导。确定了 15 项研究。受害者主要已婚，社会经济地位低下，受教育程度有限，在情感和经济上高度依赖伴侣或家庭。烧伤多由火焰或酸液引起，发病率高或死亡率高。动机包括家庭/婚姻问题或财产/财务纠纷。该审查确定了同行审查的文献中有关全世界妇女和女童遭受烧伤暴力的有限证据。调查结果表明需要进一步研究，以便更清楚地了解所涉及的复杂问题。具有显着的发病率或高死亡率。动机包括家庭/婚姻问题或财产/财务纠纷。该审查确定了同行审查的文献中有关全世界妇女和女童遭受烧伤暴力的有限证据。调查结果表明需要进一步研究，以便更清楚地了解所涉及的复杂问题。具有显着的发病率或高死亡率。动机包括家庭/婚姻问题或财产/财务纠纷。该审查确定了同行审查的文献中有关全世界妇女和女童遭受烧伤暴力的有限证据。调查结果表明需要进一步研究，以便更清楚地了解所涉及的复杂问题。
