The current systematic meta-review aimed to map out, characterize, analyze, and synthesize the overarching findings of systematic reviews on domestic violence (DV) in the context of COVID-19. Specifically, a systematic meta-review was conducted with three main objectives: (1) to identify what types and aspects of DV during COVID-19 have been reviewed systematically to date (research trends), (2) to synthesize the findings from recent systematic reviews of the theoretical and empirical literature (main findings), and (3) to discuss what systematic reviewers have proposed about implications for policy and practice as well as for future primary research (implications). We identified, appraised, and synthesized the evidence contained in systematic reviews by means of a so-called systematic meta-review. In all, 15 systematic reviews were found to be eligible for inclusion in the current review. Thematic codes were applied to each finding or implication in accordance with a set of predetermined categories informed by the DV literature. The findings of this review provide clear insight into current knowledge of prevalence, incidence, and contributing factors, which could help to develop evidence-informed DV prevention and intervention strategies during COVID-19 and future extreme events. This systematic meta-review does offer a first comprehensive overview of the research landscape on this subject. It allows scholars, practitioners, and policymakers to recognize initial patterns in DV during COVID-19, identify overlooked areas that need to be investigated and understood further, and adjust research methods that will lead to more robust studies.

COVID-19 大流行背景下的家庭暴力：系统评价综合。

当前的系统元审查旨在勾勒、描述、分析和综合 COVID-19 背景下家庭暴力 (DV) 系统审查的总体结果。具体来说，进行了系统性元审查，其主要目标有三个：(1) 确定迄今为止对 COVID-19 期间家庭暴力的哪些类型和方面进行了系统审查（研究趋势），(2) 综合最近系统性研究的结果对理论和实证文献的评论（主要发现），以及（3）讨论系统评论家提出的关于政策和实践以及未来初级研究的影响（影响）。我们通过所谓的系统元审查来识别、评估和综合系统评价中包含的证据。总共有 15 项系统评价符合纳入本次评价的资格。根据 DV 文献提供的一组预定类别，将主题代码应用于每个发现或含义。本次综述的结果提供了对当前流行病、发病率和影响因素的清晰了解，这可能有助于在 COVID-19 和未来极端事件期间制定循证的 DV 预防和干预策略。这篇系统性的元综述确实首次全面概述了该主题的研究前景。它使学者、从业者和政策制定者能够认识到 COVID-19 期间 DV 的初始模式，确定需要进一步调查和理解的被忽视的领域，并调整研究方法以进行更稳健的研究。
