This literature review examines intimate partner violence in relation to pregnancy-associated femicide and suicide. Empirical publications were eligible for review if they included information on intimate partner violence and examined females who were pregnant/postpartum and who were victims of femicide/attempted femicide and/or suicide/attempted suicide. Nine publications met the inclusion criteria and were reviewed. Results suggest that intimate partners perpetrate one- to two-thirds of the pregnancy-associated femicides in the United States and that pregnant women make up 5% of urban intimate partner femicides. Intimate partner abuse during pregnancy appears to be a risk factor for severe intimate partner violence, including attempted/completed femicide. So little information exists concerning intimate partner violence in pregnancy-associated suicides that it is impossible to draw conclusions regarding this topic; however, a hospital-based study suggests that intimate partner violence may be a risk factor for attempting suicide while pregnant. More research is needed concerning intimate partner pregnancy-associated femicide and suicide so that evidenced-based preventive/therapeutic interventions may be developed.
这篇文献综述探讨了亲密伴侣暴力与妊娠相关的杀害女性及自杀行为之间的关系。如果实证性出版物包含有关亲密伴侣暴力的信息，并研究了怀孕/产后女性以及那些为杀害女性/未遂杀害女性和/或自杀/未遂自杀受害者的女性，则这些出版物符合综述标准。九篇出版物符合纳入标准并进行了综述。结果表明，在美国，亲密伴侣实施了三分之一到三分之二的与妊娠相关的杀害女性行为，并且孕妇占城市亲密伴侣杀害女性案件的5%。孕期亲密伴侣虐待似乎是严重亲密伴侣暴力（包括未遂/既遂杀害女性）的一个风险因素。关于与妊娠相关的自杀行为中亲密伴侣暴力的信息非常少，以至于无法就此主题得出结论；然而，一项基于医院的研究表明，亲密伴侣暴力可能是孕期自杀未遂的一个风险因素。需要针对亲密伴侣与妊娠相关的杀害女性及自杀行为开展更多研究，以便制定基于证据的预防/治疗干预措施。
