To determine the prevalence of and risk factors for intimate partner violence (IPV) among women attending a large urban fertility clinic in Kano, Nigeria.
Interviewers administered questionnaires to a cross-section of women attending an infertility clinic in Northwest Nigeria, regarding their experience of IPV and associated factors.
In total, 373 individuals were interviewed. Of the individuals interviewed, 134 (35.9%; 95% confidence Interval [CI] 31.1%-41.0%) had experienced at least one form of IPV in the preceding year. Of the 134 patients who had encountered violence, 126 (94.0%), 111 (82.8%), 47 (35.1%), and 25 (18.7%) had experienced psychological, sexual, verbal, and physical forms of violence, respectively. Of the affected individuals, 34 (25.4%) experienced multiple forms of violence, with spouses being the main perpetrators. A lack of formal education (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 2.21; 95%CI 1.21-7.43), employment in the informal sector (OR 2.01; 95%C: 1.02-4.52), and having an unemployed spouse (OR 1.56; 95%CI 1.02-3.15) or one with low level of education (OR 2.32; 95%CI 1.87-4.21) were independently associated with IPV.
In this setting, women who were infertile experienced a high incidence of IPV. Women presenting at fertility clinics should be screened for IPV and provided with links to appropriate support services.
确定在尼日利亚卡诺一家大型城市生育诊所就诊的女性中亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）的患病率及危险因素。
访谈员对尼日利亚西北部一家不孕不育诊所的部分女性进行问卷调查，了解她们遭受IPV的经历及相关因素。
共访谈了373人。在接受访谈的个体中，134人（35.9%；95%置信区间[CI] 31.1%-41.0%）在前一年至少经历过一种形式的IPV。在这134名遭遇暴力的患者中，分别有126人（94.0%）、111人（82.8%）、47人（35.1%）和25人（18.7%）经历过心理、性、言语和身体形式的暴力。在受影响的个体中，34人（25.4%）经历了多种形式的暴力，配偶是主要施暴者。未接受正规教育（调整优势比[OR] 2.21；95%CI 1.21-7.43）、在非正规部门就业（OR 2.01；95%CI：1.02-4.52）、配偶失业（OR 1.56；95%CI 1.02-3.15）或配偶受教育程度低（OR 2.32；95%CI 1.87-4.21）与IPV独立相关。
在这种情况下，不孕女性遭受IPV的发生率较高。在生育诊所就诊的女性应接受IPV筛查，并提供与适当支持服务的联系。
