“…), resiliency, and coping strategies. Although there was no gender difference in depressive symptom severity in this study, there was evidence in the literature of gender‐specific vulnerabilities in refugee populations, particularly among women in regard to psychological health, discrimination, safety, exploitation, violence, and harassment (Al‐Modallal, , ). Socioecological factors, such as income, employment, and education, also have been shown to be robust predictors of physical and psychological health (Marmot et al., ).…”

“…Forced displacement is traumatic and often an unwanted social change that can lead to a loss of identity and physical, psychological, and socioeconomic livelihood (Lori & Boyle, ; Marie, Hannigan, & Jones, ; UNHCR, ). For many refugee women, intimate partner and gender‐based violence and associated mental health conditions have been identified as additional issues (Al‐Modallal, , ). The poor physical health, living, and socioeconomic conditions of Palestinian refugees in Jordan have been documented (Tiltnes & Zhang, ), although current literature about their psychological health could not be found.…”

“…For most outcomes, there was a mixture of significant and non-significant results. Six studies looking at pain all found significant associations; Al-Modallal found associations for some types of violence but not others [30]. Meta-analysis produced a pooled OR of 2·6 (95% CI 1·6–4·1) (Fig.…”

“…Some studies had non-representative populations e.g. large proportion of military police husbands [42], high level of female employment [40], or only refugee participants [27, 28, 30, 34, 35, 52, 53, 55]. Twenty-nine papers reported response rates (which were generally high) but few assessed for non-response bias.…”

BackgroundAn estimated 30% of women worldwide experience intimate partner violence (IPV) during their lifetime. Exposure to IPV is associated with poor health outcomes and the prevalence of violence may be higher amongst women seeking healthcare. Existing evidence from the Arab region is limited. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of prevalence and health outcomes of domestic violence (IPV or violence from a family member) in clinical populations in Arab countries.MethodsUsing terms related to domestic violence, Arab countries, and date limit > year 2000, we searched seven databases: Medline, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Web of Science: core collection, IBSS, Westlaw, IMEMR. We included observational studies reporting estimates of prevalence or health outcomes of domestic violence amongst women aged > 15 years, recruited while accessing healthcare in Arab countries. Studies that collected data on/after 1st January 2000 and were published in English, Arabic or French were included. Title/abstract screening, full text screening, quality assessment and data extraction were carried out. Extracted data were summarised and meta-analysis was performed where appropriate.Results6341 papers were screened and 41 papers (29 studies) met inclusion criteria. Total 19,101 participants from 10 countries were represented in the data. Meta-analysis produced pooled prevalence estimates of lifetime exposure to any type of IPV of 73·3% (95% CI 64·1–81·6), physical IPV 35·6% (95% CI 24·4–47·5), sexual IPV 22% (95% CI 13·3–32) and emotional/psychological IPV 49·8% (95% CI 37·3–62·3). Domestic violence (IPV or family violence) exposure was associated with increased odds of adverse health outcomes: depression OR 3·3 (95% CI 1·7–6·4), sleep problems OR 3·2 (95% CI 1·5–6·8), abortion OR 3·5 (95% CI 1·2–10·2), pain OR 2·6 (95% CI 1·6–4·1) and hypertension OR 1·6 (95% CI 1·2–2·0).ConclusionsDomestic violence is common amongst women seeking healthcare in Arab countries. Exposure to domestic violence is associated with several poor health outcomes. Further research into domestic violence in the Arab world is required.Trial registrationSystematic review protocol was registered on PROSPERO: CRD42017071415.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s12889-019-6619-2) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…[4] Such violence is associated with different factors including but not limited to low socioeconomic status, presence of conflict, low levels of education, alcohol and/or drug use, having multiple partners, and life stressors. [3567] Women who exposed to IPV reported high level of anxiety and depression,[8] in addition to negative delivery consequences when victims are pregnant. [9] Many cases require healthcare interventions and some are prevented from seeking health care.…”

Context:Intimate partner violence (IPV) affects gravely the victims and is resulting in negative physical and psychological consequences.Aims:This paper aimed to determine the prevalence of IPV against women in Gaza strip and associated factors. Moreover, to explore women's seeking behaviors to help.Settings and Design:Cross-sectional study.Methods and Materials:Community internet-based survey was conducted using the Heart Insult Threat Scout questionnaire and the reporting behavior of respondent to violence act.Statistical Analysis Used:A number of 517 ever married women responded and data were entered and analyzed using SPSS software version 23.Results:About 517 women participated. Of which, 23% (119/517) reported exposure to any types of IPV. Multivariate logistic regression showed factors associated with IPV were as follows: husbands who are drug user (OR = 27.577, CI95%: 5.153–147.591; P < 0.001), husband exposure to violence in childhood (OR = 9.174, CI95%: 4.753–7.727; P > 0.001), and family with a special needs child (OR = 2.956, CI95%: 1.131–8.607; P < 0.05). Approximately, two-thirds of the victims tended to keep silent toward violence and dealt with it as a private and family issue; hence, they hesitated to communicate with others or seek any help to protect themselves.Conclusions:About 23% from the study participants experience violence in their life time. Factors associated with IPV are husband's drug abuse, having a child with special needs, and husband's childhood experience of violence. Qualitative researches are needed to understand the women experience to violence and sociocultural barrier for disclosure.
