“…Examining the prevalence of TBI among a group of domestic violence victims, researchers found that 88% of the women studied experienced more than one injury, and 81% of them had experienced loss of consciousness due to their injuries [54]. Mounting research indicates that mental health challenges domestic violence victims face may be even more disheartening [57][58][59]. Results from a meta-analysis of 207 studies show that depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder, antisocial personality disorder, and borderline personality disorder are common among domestic violence victims [57].…”

Background One of the most vulnerable populations to COVID-19 is women. Multiple factors associated with violence against women (i.e. sexual assault, domestic violence, homelessness) create an increased vulnerability for women during the COVID pandemic. Women also constitute the majority of older nursing home residents and healthcare workers (e.g., nurses), who have the most pronounced exposure to COVID-19. These factors combined with resource restraints like rationing and lack of access to healthcare can further exacerbate women’s physical and psychological health issues. While literature has well-documented challenges that women face during COVID-19, there is a lack of evidence-based solutions that have the potential to mitigate these difficulties. Therefore, to address this issue, we aim to conduct a systematic review of the literature to: (1) identify interventions designed for women in the context of pandemics, (2) describe the characteristics and effects of these interventions concerning the distinctive traits of women and pandemics, and (3) present evidence-based health solutions for women to mitigate challenges they face amid and beyond COVID-19. Methods A systematic review of literature will be conducted on databases including PubMed, PsycINFO on the EBSCO platform, CINAHL on the EBSCO platform, and Scopus, based on a search strategy developed in consultation with an experienced medical librarian. Titles, abstracts, and full-text articles will be screened against eligibility criteria developed a priori. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses procedures will be adopted as the reporting framework, and data extracted (e.g., intervention details) will be evaluated by a multidisciplinary research team. Results NA for now—This is a protocol study. Conclusions Findings of this study will fill an important void in the literature. Considering that, in times of pandemic, women are especially subject to grim health disparities, like pronounced exposure to COVID-19, reproductive health issues, elevated domestic violence, increased mental health challenges, and lack of access to healthcare services, the need for evidence-based health solutions that could address these unique challenges is of paramount importance. A comprehensive understanding of the characteristics and effects of health solutions available to women in the context of pandemics can also help researchers identify areas of improvement regarding intervention design and development. This may further safeguard women’s health and wellbeing amid pandemics like COVID-19 and beyond. Study Protocol Registration: PROSPERO CRD42020194003

“…An American study reported that only 12% of adults presenting at an emergency department were screened for intimate partner violence, and out of those that were screened, the healthcare providers reported difficulty asking questions regarding intimate partner violence (Krimm and Heinzer 2002). A study conducted at the University Hospital of Innsbruck in Austria reported that only 4.8% inpatients and outpatients from seven departments (otolaryngology, trauma surgery, neurosurgery, neurology, gynecology, internal medicine, radiology) were asked about intimate partner violence (Riedl et al 2019).…”

“…However, patients find it more difficult to disclose intimate partner violence when not directly asked by their healthcare provider (Trevillion et al 2013). The fear that asking women about intimate partner violence within the healthcare setting can lead to re-traumatization can be mitigated by findings that most patients, both with a history (78.2%) and without a history of violence (72.9%), were open to being asked about domestic violence (Riedl et al 2019). In fact, a majority of women who had a lifetime history of intimate partner violence and were screened felt "extremely" or "very satisfied," and 53% were "extremely" or "very comfortable" comfortable with intimate partner violencerelated discussions (Swailes et al 2017).…”

The term healthcare provider in this chapter is used to denote a healthcare professional within the field of medicine, nursing, or an alternate allied healthcare field. The Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women defines violence against women as "any act of genderbased violence that results in, or is likely to result in, physical, sexual or psychological harm or suffering to women, including threats of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or in private life" (United Nations Women 1994). Domestic violence can be defined as violence perpetrated by intimate partners and other family members through physical, sexual, psychological, or economic abuse (UNICEF 2000). Throughout the chapter, domestic violence and intimate partner violence will be used interchangeably.

“…(16,17) Of the most associated domestic post-aggression psychic consequences, depression and post-traumatic stress syndrome are representative. (18) From the psychological point of view, the most common consequences are the loss of selfesteem, anxiety and vulnerability. The psychologically and psychiatric well-being is on the same place as the somatic well-being and for which, also, a material quantification cannot be established.…”

Domestic violence is a widespread public health problem. Domestic violence does not just manifest itself physically, it can take different forms, from verbal aggression to insults of psychological, emotional, sexual, material deprivation or simply negligence. All these affect the victim in many ways. Thus, the professionals in medical, legal sciences, but also the state authorities with responsibilities in social protection and assistance must know the phenomenon very well and find the best ways to fight it. No institution will be able to achieve this objective by working individually, but only an efficient cooperation of all these factors can contribute to limiting the negative effects and the state of vulnerability, but also to provide information and support to the victims.
