Violence against women has been recognized as both a major public health problem and a human rights violation worldwide. Research has documented the association between physical/sexual intimate partner violence (IPV) and mental health, measured by the 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) among women in reproductive age. This study underlines that different types of IPV is independently associated with mental health status. Results also show effects of IPV on mental health may not only be immediate but also be long term. These findings suggest that efforts to identify women with mental health problems should include screening for the types and history of IPV victimization.
针对妇女的暴力行为已被公认为是一个重大的公共卫生问题和全世界的人权侵犯。研究记录了身体/性亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）与心理健康之间的关联，使用 12 项一般健康问卷（GHQ-12）在育龄妇女中进行衡量。本研究强调，不同类型的 IPV 与心理健康状况独立相关。结果还表明，IPV 对心理健康的影响不仅是即时的，而且是长期的。这些发现表明，为确定有心理健康问题的妇女而进行的努力应包括对 IPV 受害类型和历史进行筛查。
