Violence against women is a global issue, with ramifications for the reproductive health of women. The current study examined the relation of domestic violence (DV) to miscarriage among women who were victimized during their last pregnancy. The study was conducted in Sivas city center, in Turkey. Associations between self-reported DV and miscarriage were analyzed using multiple regression modeling. Physical and/or sexual DV during the last pregnancy was reported by 10.0% and 6.2% of women, respectively. Women who experienced physical violence were 2.5 times as likely (Odds Ratio (OR) = 2.47, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.37-4.84, p = .003) to have experienced a miscarriage than women who did not report physical violence. These findings suggest that victims who experience physical violence during the last pregnancy may be more likely to experience miscarriage. Preventing DV, especially physical violence, may, therefore, be beneficial for avoiding adverse pregnancy outcomes.
暴力侵害妇女行为是一个全球性问题，对妇女的生殖健康产生影响。当前的研究调查了家庭暴力（DV）与上次怀孕时遭受侵害的妇女流产之间的关系。该研究在土耳其锡瓦斯市中心进行。使用多元回归模型分析了自我报告的家庭暴力与流产之间的关联。上次怀孕期间分别有10.0%和6.2%的妇女报告遭受了身体暴力和/或性暴力。经历身体暴力的妇女流产的可能性是未报告身体暴力的妇女的2.5倍（优势比（OR）=2.47，95%置信区间[CI]：1.37 - 4.84，p = 0.003）。这些发现表明，上次怀孕时遭受身体暴力的受害者可能更易流产。因此，预防家庭暴力，尤其是身体暴力，可能有助于避免不良妊娠结局。
