Domestic violence during pregnancy is an important social & health issue in all societies. In Muslim world and particularly underdeveloped countries, domestic violence is often under reported. It is the need of hour to encourage reporting of such events & implementation of research-based policies for prevention of women abuse & support of the victims of domestic violence (DV). The objective of this study was to highlight this neglected social problem of our society & to identify at risk population.
This is a cross sectional study conducted at Ayub Teaching Hospital & Benazir Bhutto Shaheed Teaching Hospital, Abbottabad (January 2014 to December. 2016). Pregnant women were inquired regarding history of abuse by husband and sociodemographic characteristics were noted in a Performa to analyse the risk factors for domestic violence.
The overall prevalence was found to be 35%. Out of 1000 pregnant women, 270 (27%) suffered from simple violence and 60 (6%) were victims of grievous assault. Violence among pregnant women is found to be more prevalent among residents of urban areas, women of older age being uneducated & belonging to poor socioeconomic status.
Domestic violence during pregnancy is a common & often neglected psychosocial health problem. High risk population needs to be identified so that preventive strategies can be planned & implemented.
孕期家庭暴力是所有社会中一个重要的社会和健康问题。在穆斯林世界，尤其是不发达国家，家庭暴力往往报告不足。当下迫切需要鼓励报告此类事件，并实施基于研究的政策，以防止妇女受虐待并支持家庭暴力受害者。本研究的目的是突出我们社会中这个被忽视的社会问题，并确定高危人群。
这是一项横断面研究，在阿伯塔巴德的阿尤布教学医院和贝娜齐尔·布托·沙希德教学医院进行（2014年1月至2016年12月）。询问孕妇其丈夫的虐待史，并在一份表格中记录社会人口学特征，以分析家庭暴力的风险因素。
总体患病率为35%。在1000名孕妇中，270名（27%）遭受过轻微暴力，60名（6%）是严重袭击的受害者。孕妇中的暴力行为在城市地区居民、年龄较大且未受过教育且社会经济地位低下的妇女中更为普遍。
孕期家庭暴力是一个常见且往往被忽视的心理社会健康问题。需要确定高危人群，以便制定和实施预防策略。
