intimate partner violence is a significant health problem. Fear of retaliation and shame may prevent women from telling anyone about the violence. This study investigated the prevalence of disclosure and police reporting of intimate partner violence during the first year postpartum.
a prospective longitudinal Swedish cohort study based on information from 2563 women who answered a postal questionnaire in early pregnancy and 12 months postpartum.
of 52 women who had been exposed to violence by their partner during the first year postpartum, four (8%) had filed a police report while 19 (37%) had not told anyone about the violence. All single women in the study had disclosed the violence to a friend, a relative or filed a police report.
few women file a police report when they are being hit by their partner during the year after childbirth. Many women do not tell anyone that they have been hit.
these data may encourage health professionals to undertake sensitive questioning about violence, giving an opening for support.
亲密伴侣暴力是一个严重的健康问题。对报复的恐惧和羞耻感可能会阻止女性向任何人透露暴力行为。本研究调查了产后第一年亲密伴侣暴力的披露和向警方报案的发生率。
一项基于 2563 名在孕早期和产后 12 个月回答邮寄问卷的女性信息的前瞻性纵向瑞典队列研究。
在产后第一年遭受伴侣暴力的 52 名女性中,有 4 名(8%)报案,而有 19 名(37%)未向任何人透露暴力行为。研究中的所有单身女性都向朋友、亲戚透露了暴力行为,或报案。
很少有女性在产后一年内被伴侣殴打时向警方报案。许多女性没有告诉任何人自己被打了。
这些数据可能会鼓励卫生专业人员对暴力行为进行敏感询问,为提供支持打开了机会。
