“…As enfermeiras revelaram ainda que, quando as mulheres chegam até a unidade de saúde da família, é realizado o acolhimento no sentido de estimular o compartilhamento das suas vivências. Para isso, é imprescindível que os profissionais de saúde apresentem habilidades de comunicação que perpassem pela empatia e sensibilidade (13)(14) . Tais elementos são indispensáveis para a formação do vínculo, o qual proporciona maior abertura na relação entre profissional e usuárias.…”

“…Findings from five included studies demonstrated a wide range of IPV prevalence between 4.94 to 35.9%. Two studies reported emotional or psychological abuse as the most common form of IPV (13% out of 22%) [14,15] (29.8%; CI = [0.27, 0.32]). One study reported both lifetime prevalence of IPV and past-year prevalence of IPV which was reported as 4.94% (95% CI [3.81,6.39]) and 2.42% (95% CI [1.74,3.35]) respectively [16].…”

“…At the individual level, significant factors found were ethnicity, level of education, exposure to other forms of prior abuse and women's attitude towards violence [14,18]. Women of Chinese ethnicity are two times more likely to experience IPV compared with women of Malay ethnicity (AOR = 2.02, 95% CI = [1.30, 3.12]) [14] while a study by Yut-Lin W et al [18] reported Indians were more likely to experience domestic violence than the others (χ2 = 24.247, df = 3, P < 0.001). Lower education level of both perpetrators and victims put them at greater risk of experiencing DV (χ2 = 14.398, df = 3, P = 0.002; χ2 = 22.788, df = 4, P < .0.001 respectively).…”

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background Intimate partner violence (IPV) is any behaviour within an intimate relationship that causes physical, psychological or sexual harm to those in the relationship. IPV is an important public health problem with substantial consequences on physical, mental, sexual, and reproductive health. Data on the systematic review of IPV are vital as basis for policy and program recommendations. The purpose of this systematic review was to ascertain the prevalence of IPV and its associated factors in Malaysia. Materials and methods A systematic review was conducted on published research studies from four databases which included Scopus, Medline, Sage and Google Scholar using keywords of intimate partner violence OR IPV AND associated factors OR risk factors OR protective factors AND Malaysia. Articles included were either cross-sectional, cohort or case-control studies which were published between the year 2005 till present. Excluded articles were the non-Malaysian origin, irrelevant topics being studied and articles not written in English. Results and discussion Out of 1983 records identified and screened, five were included for the analysis and interpretation of the data. All of the included studies were of cross-sectional design in which one of the studies was secondary data. IPV prevalence in Malaysia has a wide range between 4.94 and 35.9%. Two studies reported emotional or psychological abuse as the most common form of IPV (13% out of 22%) and (29.8%; CI = [0.27, 0.32]). Significant factors associated with IPV were lower education background, lower socio-economic status, history/ current substance abuse, exposure to prior abuse or violence, violence-condoning attitude; husbands or partners controlling behaviour, substance abuse and involvement in fights and lack of social support. Conclusion Specific IPV intervention should focus on lower socio-economic groups, high-risk institutionalised groups, the involvement of partners or husband and addressing issues of substance abuse.

Background and Aims Domestic violence can include controlling or coercive behaviors and acts, as well as physical, sexual, psychological, and financial elements. Given the significance of domestic violence against women and its complications, this study looked into the relationship between socioeconomic status and domestic violence against women in Isfahan in 2019. Methods In 2021, a cross‐sectional study of 427 married women referred to comprehensive health centers in Isfahan, Iran, was carried out. The available sampling method was chosen. To collect data, a domestic violence questionnaire and a socioeconomic status index were used. The data were analyzed using SPSS and Latent GOLD software. Results The average age of the women in this study was 33.21, 37% worked, and 63 were housewives. Based on Latent class analysis method, women were classified into two groups of high or low socioeconomic status class. The findings revealed a significant relationship between socioeconomic status and different types of violence against women, including light physical violence, emotional violence, verbal violence, and sexual violence (p < 0.05). Conclusion The findings revealed that there is a significant relationship between socioeconomic status and domestic violence against women in Isfahan, with women from lower socioeconomic backgrounds being more vulnerable to violence. Given the prevalence of violence against women in the family and its consequences, policy makers should look for the causes of this type of violence as well as solutions to reduce this health and social problem. Factors such as the expansion of counseling and treatment centers in health care facilities, as well as education and life skills training, are particularly important in reducing this phenomenon in society.
