“…Violence against women is a widespread and devastating human rights violence [2], as well as a serious social, legal and health problem, associated with social, psychological and economic consequences. Furthermore, it strongly affects the quality of life and dignity of humans [3, 4]. Violence against women has been recognised as a major concern since the 1980s onwards when local and international groups of women were organised to draw public attention to the issue.…”

Background: Intimate partner violence against pregnant women is an important public health concern and human rights issue. According to the various findings of previous studies, this study was conducted to assess the pooled prevalence of intimate partner violence against Iranian women. Methods: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, a literature search was conducted in databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, MagIran, and Scientific Information Database without a time limit. Heterogeneity was assessed by Cochrane Q test statistics and the I2 test, and the results were incorporated into a random effects model to estimate the prevalence of intimate partner violence. Data analysis was performed using R software version 4.3.2. Results: The overall prevalence of intimate partner violence was reported to be 51.5% (95% confidence interval (CI) 45.0–58.1), and the prevalence rate of physical, sexual, and psychological intimate partner violence was 18.0% (95% CI 15.1–20.9), 22.1% (95% CI 17.7–26.60) and 43.2% (95% CI 36.6–49.8), respectively. The lowest level of physical, sexual, and emotional intimate partner violence rate was observed in district 1 of Iran (includes Tehran, the capital of Iran and the surrounding provinces). The rate of physical and sexual intimate partner violence prevalence decreased with the increased mean age of the husband ( P=0.005) and the mean age of the wife ( P=0.035), respectively. Conclusions: Studies included in this review report that more than half of Iranian women experience violence during pregnancy. In order to prevent adverse maternal and neonatal consequences, it is necessary to identify these women and introduce them to support centres.

“…A number of health problems due to DV were identified in the reviewed studies. The majority of the studies reported mental health problems including anxiety and stress (Ahmadzad-Asl et al, 2016; Al-Modallal et al, 2012; Al-Faris et al, 2013; Alizadeh et al, 2015; Akyazi et al, 2018; Anes Jellali et al, 2014; Ba Obaid & Bijleveld, 2002; Barnawi, 2017; Ghodrati et al, 2017; Hajian et al, 2014; Karakoc et al, 2015; Khayat et al, 2017; Kotan et al, 2017; Ozer et al, 2015; Shaikh et al, 2017; Sousa et al, 2015; Vameghi et al, 2016; Yount et al, 2014), depression/insomnia (Abbaszadeh et al, 2011; Ahmadzad-Asl et al, 2016; Akyazi et al, 2018; Alizadeh et al, 2015; Al-Modallal et al, 2012; Anes Jellali et al, 2014; Barnawi, 2017; Bulut et al, 2017; Dolatian et al, 2010; Ersoy & Yildiz, 2011; Jamali et al, 2017; Karakoc et al, 2015; Khayat et al, 2017; Kivrak et al, 2015; Korkmaz et al, 2016; Kotan et al, 2017; Ozer et al, 2015; Vameghi et al, 2016; Yanikkerem et al, 2006), and physical injury (Akadli Ergocmen et al, 2013; Al-Atrushi et al, 2013; Al-Faris et al, 2013; Ardabily et al, 2011; S.

This scoping review aimed to identify the scope of the current literature on the prevalence, consequences, and risk factors of domestic violence (DV) against women by their husbands or male partners in North African and Middle Eastern countries. The methodology for this scoping review was based on the framework outlined by Arksey and O’Malley. Studies published on DV against women over the age of 15 by partner or husband and published in peer-reviewed scientific journals between January 1970 and April 2018 were included in the review. The databases MEDLINE, PsychINFO, CINAHL, HealthSTAR, EMBASE, Scopus, African Journals Online, Turkish Journal Database, and gray literature sources were searched. On completion of the review process, 151 full-text articles were identified for charting. This review demonstrated that women’s age, women’s education level, duration of marriage, history of childhood abuse/witnessing family violence, living in the rural region, and family income level were negatively associated with DV, indicating that younger women, women with lower education, a longer marriage duration, and a lower income level had a higher risk of exposure to DV in this region. Anxiety, depression/insomnia, and physical injury were the most common health problems reported by victims in the region. The highest proportion of women with no response to violence was reported in Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. The findings of this scoping review represent the first attempt to summarize the literature from North African and Middle Eastern countries and demonstrate the similarity in DV-related behaviors among women despite the cultural and regional diversity of the studies.

De 762 artículos identificados, 178 cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión.Resultados: el diseño más utilizado fue el transversal, con análisis cuantitativo correlacional (73%); con muestras entre 100 y 500 participantes (31%) y principalmente desarrollados en Norteamérica (43%). Respecto a las variables, se estudian características individuales de la mujer, consecuencias físicas y mentales de la VPI, características de la relación de pareja y variables sociales que pueden incidir en VPI. la VPI fue caracterizada como Psicológica, física y sexual, con una nueva tipología denominada control coercitivo. Conclusiones: el uso de diseños transversales es comprensible por las implicancias éticos requeridos para esta población; las variables incluidas, incluyen un amplio espectro, tanto de posibles factores de riesgo como consecuencias de la violencia. El control coercitivo constituye un nuevo aspecto comprensivo hacia VPI.
