Domestic abuse is a significant public health issue globally. Although it is recognised that both sexes may be victims of domestic abuse, the phenomenon is commonly understood from the perspective of male to female violence, supported by a substantial body of research and policy focusing on female victims of domestic abuse. However, evidence shows that significant numbers of men are victims of female-perpetrated violence, but as the issue is under-explored, the extent and effects of abuse are poorly understood. For health visitors, working within communities in the United Kingdom (UK), knowledge of all aspects of domestic abuse is vital in the delivery of evidence-based practice.A systematically conducted critical literature review aimed at establishing the current body of knowledge on male victims of domestic abuse was undertaken, and implications for health visiting practice considered.Nineteen primary research studies were included in the review. A thematic analysis identified four themes: 'violent relationship', 'harms and behaviours', 'risk', and 'seeking help'. Results show that men reported being victims of female-perpetrated physical, emotional, psychological and sexual abuse, with some experiencing severe aggression, control and fear.Health visitors have an important role to play in influencing policy and in practice addressing the health and social care needs of male victims of domestic abuse and their families.

“…[20][21][22][23][24][25] Health-care research on IPV and men, though, is quite limited. There are few studies that explore its prevalence in the health-care setting, [26][27][28][29][30] the accuracy and efficacy of medical screening, 29,31,32 the ability of interview procedures to distinguish victimization from perpetration, 32,33 and the efficacy of a health-care responses to men, including of batterer's treatment programs. 34,35 Although published expert experience exists, 33,[36][37][38][39][40][41][42] there are no comprehensive healthcare guidelines on addressing IPV specifically with men.…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a common and devastating problem affecting the health of women, men, and children. Most health-care research focuses on the effects of IPV on women and children and addressing IPV with women in the health-care setting. Less is known about addressing IPV with men in the health-care setting. This article reviews the challenges in interpreting research on IPV in men, its prevalence and health effects in men, and the arguments for addressing IPV with men in the health-care setting. It introduces pilot guidelines that are based on the existing literature and expert opinion.KEY WORDS: intimate partner violence; domestic violence; victimization; perpetration; battering; men.

“…Rates of victimization in this primary care sample were similar to those reported previously by men in emergency departments. 21,22 Given research that indicates that victimization histories in men are linked to poor health outcomes, these findings indicate another area of opportunity for intervention. 23 Given the small numbers of participants in subgroup analyses, results other than those reported above-which are the only ones that specifically focus on and can inform the primary goals of this study, assessing the feasibility and efficiency of primary care provider screening-cannot be used to claim with certainty that clinical site, provider sex, and provider training differences seen across subgroups might be indicative of where, how, and by whom any subsequent studies of primary care screening should be completed.…”
