Men as victims in intimate partner violence (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund Män utsätts för våld i nära relationer i både sam- och olikkönade relationer. Män som utsatts för våld i nära relationer uppgav för det mesta att de utsatts för psykiskt våld snarare än fysiskt våld. Psykiskt våld kan handla om isolering, svartsjuka, hot om fysiskt våld eller förstörelse av personlig egendom. Män som utsatts för våld av sin partner kan utveckla psykisk ohälsa. De flesta män hade svårt att säga att de utsatts för våld i en nära relation på grund av samhällets könsnormer som sade att mannen måste vara stark, självständig och ha ett bra självförtroende. 

Syfte Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva mäns upplevelser efter att ha varit utsatt för våld i en nära relation. 

Metod En litteraturbaserad studie med systematiska sökningar, där åtta artiklar valdes. 

Resultat Resultatet visade att män som utsatts för våld i en nära relation isolerade sig, hade självmordstankar, låg självkänsla, ökad rädsla och psykisk ohälsa. Män uppgav också att de inte vågade prata om sin situation till andra i sin omgivning. Detta berodde främst på att andra människor inte litade på dem, men det hade även att göra med samhällets normer. 

Konklusion Män faller också offer för våld i nära relationer och våldets inverkan kan innebära psykiska problem hos mannen. Isolering, rädsla, låg självkänsla, självmordstankar och psykisk ohälsa identifierades i resultatet. De vanligaste konsekvenserna efter våldet var isolering och rädsla. När det gäller psykisk ohälsa var posttraumatisk stress (PTSD) vanligast. 

Abstract [en]

Abstract Men are exposed to violence in close relationships in both same-sex and heterosexual relationships. Men who are exposed to violence stated that they were exposed to psychological violence rather than physical violence. Psychological violence can be about verbal attacks, isolation, jealousy, threats of physical violence, threats of divorce and destruction of personal property. Men who have been subjected to violence by their partner may develop mental illness. Most men find it difficult to say that they are exposed to violence because of society's gender norms which say that the man must be strong, independent and have self-confidence.

Aim The aim of this study was to describe men’s experiences after being exposed to violence in close relationships.

Method A literature-based study with systematic searches, in which eight articles were selected.

Results The results have shown that men who are exposed to violence in close relationships isolated themselves, had suicidal thoughts, low self-esteem, increased fear and mental illness. Men also stated that they did not dare to talk about their situation to others around them. This was mainly because others did not trust them, but it also had to do with society's gender norms.

Conclusion Men also fall victim to violence in a close relationship and the impact can mean great psychological strain on the man. Isolation, fear, self-esteem, suicidal thoughts and mental illness were identified in the results. The most common consequences after the violence were isolation and fear. When it comes to mental illness, post-traumatic stress disorder was the most common.
