Domestic violence during pregnancy is a key issue in maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity. This cross-sectional study aimed at obtaining the prevalence of domestic violence amongst pregnant women who attended Ipoh General Hospital in Perak, Malaysia and to determine the risk factors associated with domestic violence during pregnancy. The prevalence of domestic violence was low (4.5%). Comparison between the two groups of subjects with or without domestic violence did not show any significant difference in terms of risk factors. The effect of domestic violence on pregnancy should be investigated comprehensively in a multicentral or community-based study using a culturally sensitive questionnaire. With the estimated low prevalence of domestic violence in this study, the need for screening it in health-care services in Malaysia is yet to be determined.
孕期家庭暴力是孕产妇及胎儿死亡率和发病率的一个关键问题。这项横断面研究旨在了解马来西亚霹雳州怡保总医院就诊的孕妇中家庭暴力的患病率,并确定孕期家庭暴力的相关风险因素。家庭暴力的患病率较低(4.5%)。两组有或无家庭暴力的受试者在风险因素方面没有显示出任何显著差异。应使用具有文化敏感性的问卷,在多中心或基于社区的研究中全面调查家庭暴力对妊娠的影响。鉴于本研究中家庭暴力的估计患病率较低,马来西亚医疗保健服务中对其进行筛查的必要性尚待确定。
