“…The prevalence of emotional violence, physical violence, and sexual violence during pregnancy was 16.8%, 7.3%, and 12.4%, respectively. Our findings were consistent with those of other studies in this field in Vietnam 12. Compared to studies in other countries, the prevalence of DV during pregnancy among the sample of Vietnamese women in our study was higher.…”

ObjectiveTo examine the association between various types of domestic violence (DV) during pregnancy (emotional violence, physical violence, and sexual violence) and pre-term or low birthweight delivery in women living in Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted in ten districts of Ho Chi Minh city during the period of January 1, 2015–July 4, 2016, with 1,099 women aged 18–49 years old who had delivered at least one child within the past 2years and were living in Ho Chi Minh city.ResultsDV prevalence during pregnancy among women aged 18–49 years in Ho Chi Minh city was 23.4%. Emotional violence accounted for 16.8%; physical violence 7.3%, and sexual violence 12.4%. Results of multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that DV during pregnancy was associated with a 1.44-times increased risk of pre-term or/and low birthweight delivery (POR=1.44, 95% CI=1.04–1.99).ConclusionDomestic violence during pregnancy was associated with increased risk of pre-term/low birthweight delivery in Vietnamese women. These findings suggest the need for DV screening during antenatal care. Once DV is detected, the victims should be provided with counseling services and referred to available local support services so that they are provided with timely intervention.

“…A relatively wide range of prevalence of DV in pregnancy from various studies in Vietnam (5.9–32.6%) may result from differences in distribution of various factors, in study methodology, and DV screening tools as well. Therefore, it is very difficult to have an appropriate comparison 12,16…”

“…Characteristics of included systematic reviews and meta-analyses are shown in Table 2 . Only two reviews included global data [ 22 , 23 ], most of which were limited to a country or a group of countries, mainly from Asia [ 4 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ] and Africa [ 4 , 26 , 27 , 29 , 30 ], followed by America [ 31 , 32 ], Europe [ 32 ], and Australia [ 32 ]. The number of studies included in the reviews giving information about IPV prevalence during pregnancy ranged from 2 [ 24 ] to 73 [ 23 ].…”

Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a public health concern, especially during pregnancy, and needs to be urgently addressed. In order to establish effective actions for the prevention of IPV during pregnancy, authorities must be aware of the real burden of IPV. This review aimed to summarize the existing evidence about IPV prevalence during pregnancy worldwide. Methods: A review of reviews was carried out. All published systematic reviews and meta-analyses published until October 2020 were identified through PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. The main outcome was the IPV prevalence during pregnancy. Results: A total of 12 systematic reviews were included in the review, 5 of them including meta-analysis. The quality of the reviews was variable. Physical IPV during pregnancy showed a wide range (1.6–78%), as did psychological IPV (1.8–67.4%). Conclusions: Available data about IPV prevalence during pregnancy were of low quality and showed high figures for physical and psychological IPV. The existing evidence syntheses do not capture the totality of the worldwide disease burden of IPV in pregnancy.

“…One study subcategorized "Domestic Violence" among postpartum women, using thematic analysis of in-depth interview. The study consisted of 21 women, all of whom screened positive for Postpartum Depression (EPDS score between [10][11][12][13][14]. Most of these women admitted to having experienced domestic violence, either in the form of IPVor in the form of violence perpetrated by other family members.…”

“…It includes sexual abuse (Childhood Sexual Abuse or CSA), neglect, physical and emotional ill-treatment and commercial and other forms of exploitation, leading to either actual or potential harm to the child's well-being. 10 There is increasing evidence that one important predictor of postpartum depression is women's exposure to violence, [11][12][13][14][15][16][17] with many literatures focused on PPD and partner victimization. 13,14 Experiences of abuse and violence are particularly important during pregnancy and postpartum, a period when significant relations and personalities are being restructured.…”

Purpose: To determine the association of postpartum depression with domestic violence experiences among women in Asia. Background: Postpartum depression (PPD) is an important cause of maternal morbidity as well as mortality. There is increasing evidence that domestic violence (DV) increases the risk of PPD. Methods: We performed literature searches using the databases PUBMED, SCOPUS, Web of Science and Google Scholar, for studies published between January 2010 and May 2019. The keywords "postpartum", "postnatal", "depression", and "violence" were used. Observational studies conducted within Asia, and written in the English language, were included. Results: In the 38 studies included in this review (with 37,087 participants), the prevalence of PPD ranged between 8.2% to 70% and that of DV between 6.1% to 67.4%. There were 1.6 to 7.1 higher odds of PPD among sufferers of DV. Intimate partner violence (IPV) was the most relevant factor that women experiencing psychological abuse (which was the most prevalent form of IPV) were more at risk for, and violence/intimidation by other family members was also associated with PPD. Domestic violence increased the risk of suicidal ideation in PPD. Discussion: The findings of the review unequivocally shows the association between domestic violence and PPD. Maternal mental health is a neglected area of healthcare in many parts of Asia. Likewise, domestic violence is a readily recognized, but inadequately addressed social issue. We recommend that healthcare workers be trained to recognize and support the women who are vulnerable to violence and depression during pregnancy and postpartum. Policies need to be developed at national and global levels to tackle these issues with utmost urgency.
