Resumen

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to identify the individual, family and sociocultural factors that influence domestic violence. This will be achieved through a critical analysis of recent scientific literature, with the aim of broadening the understanding of the phenomenon from an integrated and contextualised perspective. Design/methodology/approach – A systematic literature review was conducted using the PRISMA 2020 methodology, which is renowned for its rigour, transparency and capacity for systematisation. This methodological approach facilitated the selection and analysis of empirical studies on domestic violence, with a focus on the interactions between factors at multiple levels (individual, family and sociocultural). Findings – It is recommended that institutional responses be rethought through intersectoral approaches that incorporate empirical evidence, address the structural causes of domestic violence and promote safe, equitable and violence-free family environments. The implementation of integrative conceptual frameworks and interdisciplinary strategies is imperative to fortify public policies. Originality/value – This study proffers an updated and integrative perspective on the subject of domestic violence, eschewing the predominant fragmented approaches to the issue. The articulation of multiscalar factors contributes to the development of more robust explanatory models that can inform both academic research and effective intervention design.
