The aim was to estimate the prevalence of sexual and physical intimate partner violence (IPV) and its associated factors, in a sample of pregnant women using antenatal care (ANC) in Nampula province - Mozambique. This cross-sectional study was carried out in six health units in Nampula, from February 2013 to January 2014. Overall, 869 participants answered the Conflict Tactics Scale 2. The lifetime and past year prevalence of sexual abuse was 49% and 46%, and of physical abuse was 46% and 44%, respectively. Lifetime and past year sexual abuse was significantly associated with living as a couple, alcohol drinking and having a past diagnosis of gonorrhea. Lifetime and past year physical abuse increased significantly with age and was associated with living as a couple, alcohol drinking and history with syphilis. The prevalence of lifetime and previous year violence among women using ANC was high and similar showing that most women were constantly exposed to IPV. ANC provides a window of opportunity for identifying and acting on violence against women.
目的是在莫桑比克楠普拉省使用产前护理（ANC）的孕妇样本中，估计性暴力和身体亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）的患病率及其相关因素。这项横断面研究于2013年2月至2014年1月在楠普拉的六个卫生单位开展。总体而言，869名参与者回答了冲突策略量表2。性虐待的终生患病率和过去一年患病率分别为49%和46%，身体虐待的终生患病率和过去一年患病率分别为46%和44%。终生和过去一年的性虐待与同居、饮酒以及既往淋病诊断显著相关。终生和过去一年的身体虐待随年龄显著增加，且与同居、饮酒和梅毒病史相关联。使用ANC的女性中终生和上一年暴力行为的患病率很高且相近似，这表明大多数女性持续遭受亲密伴侣暴力。产前护理为识别针对妇女的暴力行为并采取行动提供了一个机会窗口。
