“…Experiencing IPV is associated with long-term health and psychological complications, such as chronic illness, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder for both victims and their children (Dillon et al, 2013;Hamby et al, 2011;Herrenkohl et al, 2008). For victims with children, these adverse outcomes often begin in the prenatal period (Gardner et al, 2012;Lipsky et al, 2004;Samandari et al, 2010). Perpetration of both IPV and intimate partner homicide may be affected by the relationship between perpetrator and victim.…”

Many intimate partner homicide victims visit emergency departments (EDs) prior to their deaths, yet their lethality risk is not well understood. eHealth interventions for intimate partner violence (IPV) improve provider information, tailor care to victim need and link victims to services. We analyzed ED patients' lethality risk using one such intervention, Domestic Violence Report and Referral (DVRR). DVRR records were assessed for 263 female patients aged 16 and older seen for IPV at an urban, high-traffic, Northern California ED in 2014-15. Multiple linear regression was used to test the association of children's presence at home, pregnancy, age, and abuser-victim relationship with victim's lethality risk using the Danger Assessment (DA) score from the Lethality Risk Assessment for Intimate Partner Femicide. Differences in means were assessed using t- and F-tests. The mean DA score indicated high lethality risk, with a third of respondents (33.1%) reporting very high DA scores. Multiple linear regression models indicated that increasing victim age (β=0.20/year; 95% CI: 0.11-0.29), children's presence at home (β=2.61, 95% CI: 0.63-4.58), and perpetrator reported as dating partner (β=4.50, 95% CI: 1.62-7.38) or ex-partner (β=4.38, 95% CI: 1.10-7.66) were significantly associated with the DA score (p<0.05). Use of DA scores as ED risk assessment tools in response to IPV victimization could help hospital staff and IPV advocates direct resources toward highest-need patients, improving health outcomes without additional burden on hospitals. These results also foreground eHealth interventions' utility in linking providers and IPV advocates and reducing the risk of intimate partner homicide.

“…Pregnant women constitute a special case, as experiencing IPV affects both the mother and her unborn baby. For instance, mothers who experience IPV are more likely to have prenatal depression (Yu et al, 2018 ), fewer prenatal visits (Gardner et al, 2012 ), perinatal death (Pastor‐Moreno et al, 2020 ), and negative experiences with parenting (Pels et al, 2015 ). Moreover, foetuses are at risk of low birth weight (Abujilban et al, 2017 ), preterm birth (Berhanie et al, 2019 ), birth defects, asphyxia, and stillbirth (Yu et al, 2018 ).…”

Aim To assess the prevalence and compare the levels of intimate partner violence (IPV) before and during the pandemic and to identify the factors that associated with physical IPV among Jordanian pregnant women. Design A cross‐sectional, correlational design. Women were asked to report their experience with IPV twice: during and before the pandemic. Methods A convenience sampling technique was used to select pregnant women from National Woman's Health Care Center from 15 April to 1 September 2021. The Domestic Violence Questionnaire Screening Tool (DVQST) was used to assess the levels of IPV. Results The women (n = 232) who participated in the study experienced considerable levels of IPV before (69% control IPV, 59.90% psychological, 46.10% physical, 43.10% sexual) and during (75.90% control IPV, 64.20% psychological, 46.10% physical, 40.90% sexual) the pandemic. There were statistically significant (p ≤ 0.05) higher mean DVQST scores for control IPV and psychological IPV during the pandemic (control IPV mean = 9.78, psychological mean = 7.03) versus before the pandemic (control IPV mean = 8.95, psychological mean = 6.62). Woman's educational level, marriage duration, woman's employment status, and level of mutual understanding were inversely associated with physical IPV during the pandemic. Patient or Public Contribution IPV is a global public health problem and a major violation of human rights. The levels of control IPV and psychological IPV increased during the COVID‐19 pandemic, while the levels of physical and sexual IPV stayed the same. Antenatal screening for IPV is crucial to save women and their offspring from suffering this type of violence.
