“…This result is consistent with recent studies reporting IPV prevalence rates (psychological, physical and/or sexual) during pregnancy between 3% and 57% 14,[32][33][34][35] .

“…It is one of common problems during pregnancy, although it is not one of the complications, such as preeclampsia and diabetes, which are routinely investigated 7 . The prevalence of IPVP varies depending on the methods used in studies and sociocultural characteristics and is observed in a wide range between 0.9% and 57.1% 7,8 . In the systematic review in which Gazmararian et al 9 examined 13 relevant studies, they found the prevalence of IPVP to be between 0.9% and 20.1%.…”
