“…Researchers from outside China, who are originally from or have connections with mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, contribute to the research in corresponding region, some play the leading role. For articles published in early 2020, we noticed nursing researchers from Hong Kong and Taiwan further deepened and expanded IPV research through investigating risk factors and psychological outcomes of economic abuse [134] , and examining related factors of intention to perpetrate dating violence [135] .…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious public health issue, and nurses have the potential to screen, navigate to interventions, and provide support, but responses to IPV differ greatly in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan. We conducted a scoping review to examine the nursing literature on IPV in the above four regions in China. We conducted a comprehensive search of 11 Chinese and English databases from database inception to January 31, 2020, for eligible papers including empirical studies, reviews, reports, and expert opinion articles. We hand searched references lists and other studies published by the first and corresponding authors of included articles. Two reviewers independently screened articles and extracted data, and three reviewers cross-checked the extracted results. We also conducted quality appraisal for applicable empirical studies. A total of 58 Chinese-language and 63 English-language articles were included, 58 from Taiwan, 44 from Hong Kong, 13 from mainland China, and six from institutions outside China, but none from Macao. The quantitative and qualitative studies described the prevalence and complex nature of IPV, comparable to non-nursing and international studies. Nurse-led advocacy and Qigong (traditional Chinese mind-body health practice) interventions showed promise for improving mental health in women in Hong Kong. There was a low level of knowledge and preparedness to respond to IPV among Chinese nurses, especially in mainland China. Mixed methods studies in Hong Kong and Taiwan as complex designs were generally well-conducted. Nursing case reports from Taiwan uniquely supplemented the evidence base. In Hong Kong and Taiwan, varying designs were used to study various facets of IPV, targeting victims, nurses and other key stakeholders. In mainland China and Macao, IPV research was limited in quantity, quality, and diversity. As more research in the area of IPV is needed, factors influencing nursing research on IPV also merit investigation, while taking into consideration socioeconomic-political-cultural factors.

“…Over half of the studies (n = 18) in this scoping review collected data from samples within the United States [2][3][4][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. Three articles came from Turkey [32][33][34], two came from South Africa [35,36] and one article came from Germany [37], Ghana [38], Hong Kong [39], India [40], Malaysia [41], and Palestine [42]. A single article used data collected as part of a multi-country study of China, Cambodia, Papua New Guinea, and Sri Lanka [43].…”

Background Economic abuse is a unique form of intimate partner violence (IPV) and includes behaviors that control a survivor’s ability to acquire, use, and maintain resources. These tactics can result in someone becoming economically dependent on their partner and may limit their ability to leave the relationship and establish independence. The aim of this study was to conduct a scoping review focused on the impact of economic abuse on survivors of IPV. Methods A total of 14 databases were reviewed, which resulted in 30 peer-reviewed manuscripts for inclusion in the study. Manuscripts were included if they were: written in English, published in the year 2000, focused specifically economic abuse perpetrated by an intimate partner, economic abuse was measured as an independent variable, study findings were specifically focused on the impact of economic abuse perpetrated by an intimate partner, and if economic abuse was looked at separately from other forms of IPV. Information was extracted using a data charting form. The data were analyzed using a combination of grouping techniques and constant comparison methods to identify key findings. Results Studies found significant associations between economic abuse and a range of outcomes, such as mental and physical health, financial impacts, parent-child interactions, and quality of life. The most frequently examined were mental health, followed by financial issues. Conclusions Limitations of these studies included a lack of longitudinal research and a focus on heterosexual relationships with male-perpetrated violence toward female survivors. Study findings highlight the wide-ranging potential impacts of economic abuse on survivors and the need for additional research to better understand potential outcomes and implement and evaluate interventions to address them.

According to a global report released by WHO, the prevalence of IPV was high overall, ranging from 23.2% to 37.7% across different regions worldwide (García-Moreno et al., 2013). Similar to the global situation, IPV is also a public health issue in Hong Kong (HK). The newly reported cases from government were 2937 in 2018 (Hong Kong Census and Statistics Department, 2019), and self-reported surveys showed the lifetime IPV was 9.2% for males and 7.9% for females among general population in HK (Zhang et al., 2015). This total may be higher, because family harmony in Chinese culture
