Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a major public health problem estimated to affect 15%-71% of women worldwide. We sought to elicit IPV risks among mothers of sick newborns in Ghana. As part of a broader study on postpartum depression, we conducted semistructured surveys of 153 women in a mother-baby unit, assessing demographics, depression, social support, and IPV with the present partner. Forty-six percent of mothers reported some form of violence, mostly emotional (34%), followed by physical (17%), and sexual (15%). The study highlights the frequency of perinatal IPV and the associated risk factors of depression and poor social support.
亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）是一个重大的公共卫生问题，据估计全球有15% - 71%的女性受其影响。我们试图了解加纳患病新生儿母亲中亲密伴侣暴力的风险。作为一项关于产后抑郁症的更广泛研究的一部分，我们在母婴病房对153名女性进行了半结构化调查，评估了人口统计学特征、抑郁症、社会支持以及与现任伴侣的亲密伴侣暴力情况。46%的母亲报告遭受过某种形式的暴力，大多为情感暴力（34%），其次是身体暴力（17%）和性暴力（15%）。该研究凸显了围产期亲密伴侣暴力的发生率以及与之相关的抑郁症和社会支持不足的风险因素。
