| dc.description.abstract | Intimate partner violence (IPV) is regarded as a global public health issue. Amidst a global COVID-19 pandemic, incidents of IPV increased dramatically and has been labelled as a pandemic within itself. While a great deal of work has been done focusing on IPV, the extent of work focusing on men’s experiences and help-seeking behaviours as victims of IPV are limited. Typically, men are viewed and view themselves in specific contexts which are informed by their socialisation. This perception influences how men behave, process life - including crises and responses to said crises. This study aimed to determine the scope of knowledge that exists and identifies the extent of IPV where males are the victims and how social constructions of masculinity are reflected in peer reviewed literature around helpseeking behaviour of male victims of IPV. A scoping review methodology was used to address the aim of the study utilising the framework proposed by Arksey and O’Malley for scoping reviews as well as the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews. The UWC library system was accessed: The Ebscohost meta-database was used, and the following databases were selected; Academic Search Complete; APA PsycArticles; ERIC; SAGE journals as well as Taylor and Francis online journals. Additionally, unpublished dissertations also available on the UWC research repository were searched and reviewed for inclusion. | |
