“…Some studies have suggested a direct relationship between depression and IPV [15,16], while others have suggested a reciprocal relationship [18,19]. The relationship between IPV and depression has been linked to different factors including victim, perpetuator, and community related factors [21]. The factors include age of the woman in the relationship, age at marriage, age gap between the woman and her partner, duration of the relationship, low literacy levels, rural area of residence, polygamous relationships and extramarital affairs, alcohol consumption, and previous history of trauma such as adverse childhood events [15,16,20].…”

Background Depression is highly prevalent among women compared to men. Women in rural areas are more at risk of depression compared to their peers in urban areas. Some of the factors associated with depression among married women are spouse related factors including extramarital affairs and intimate partner violence (IPV).Objective To determine the prevalence of depression and factors associated with depression among married women in rural Southwestern Uganda.Methods This was a cross-sectional study in rural southwestern Uganda among married/cohabiting women aged 18 to 45 years. We used the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9) to assess for depression, composite abuse scale (Revised) – Short Form (CASR-SF to measure IPV. Logistic regression was used to estimate the associations between depression and several factors including spouse extramarital affair, IPV, and sociodemographic factors.Results We enrolled 153 women, mean (standard deviation) age of 33.3 (6.7) and the majority were unemployed. The mean number of children between the couple was 4.05 (2.17). More than half (65,4%) had depressive symptoms and 64.1% had experienced intimate spouse violence. The reported spouses’ mean (SD) age was 43.4 (9.5). Almost half (49.65%) were known to be involved in an extramarital affair. There was a statically significant association between depression among women and spouse extramarital affairs (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 24.93; 95% CI 1.25–498.34]; p-value = 0.04).Conclusion There was a high prevalence of depression and intimate partner violence among women in rural Uganda. The high prevalence was associated with spouse extramarital affairs. There should be routine screening for depression and intimate partner violence among married women at lower-level health facilities in rural settings especially those whose husbands are involved in extramarital affairs to ensure early diagnosis and access to appropriate mental health care to maintain functionality in society and family level since women are the backbone of their families.

Purpose: Intimate partner violence is a global public health problem that mainly affects women rather than men. It has been associated with negative physical and mental health outcomes, including experiences of revictimization. This systematic review describes the risk and protective factors associated with revictimization in female victims of intimate partner violence. Methods: We searched for articles published between 1995 and 2024 in the Scopus, Web of Science, and PsycINFO databases. In total, 925 studies that met the inclusion criteria were reviewed, of which 38 were evaluated as eligible, and 12 were finally included in the review. Results: Among the risk factors were mental health problems, some demographic characteristics of the victims, previous experiences of violence, and coping and attachment styles. Economic independence, empowerment, and restraining orders were protective factors. Conclusions: Based on the results, we present some practical implications for health and public policy as well as recommendations for directing future research into revictimization.
