Intimate partner violence (IPV) against women is common, although prevalence and correlates amongst pregnant women in developing countries are poorly researched.
To identify the magnitude of IPV, and its relationship with psychiatric morbidity and partner alcohol use.
This study was conducted among women receiving routine ante-natal care at a secondary level healthcare facility in southern Nigeria.
A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted by recruiting pregnant women (n = 395) attending the Ante-Natal Clinic of the Central Hospital, Benin-City, Edo State, Nigeria, between August 2015 and February 2016 and undertaking face-to-face interviews utilising a socio-demographic questionnaire, the Composite Abuse Scale and the 20-item Self-reporting Questionnaire.
Past 12-month prevalence of IPV was 24.8%, with emotional abuse being the commonest type (89.8%). Forty-six participants (11.6%) screened positive for probable psychiatric morbidity. Predictors of IPV included partner alcohol use in the past 12 months (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 2.67; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.16-6.16; p 0.02), having a psychiatric morbidity (aOR: 2.53; 95% CI: 1.27-5.04; p 0.01), being single (aOR: 2.12; 95% CI: 1.25-3.58; p 0.01) and multiparous (aOR: 2.5; 95% CI: 1.43-4.38; p 0.001).
Intimate partner violence was common amongst pregnant women in Nigeria. Identified modifiable risk factors can be targets for screening and intervention for women in these settings.
亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）在女性中很常见，尽管发展中国家孕妇的流行率及其相关因素研究甚少。
确定 IPV 的严重程度及其与精神疾病发病率和伴侣饮酒的关系。
本研究在尼日利亚南部二级医疗保健机构的常规产前保健中进行，招募了 395 名孕妇。
采用横断面描述性研究，于 2015 年 8 月至 2016 年 2 月期间在尼日利亚埃多州贝宁市中心医院的产前诊所招募了参加产前检查的孕妇，进行面对面访谈，使用社会人口学问卷、综合虐待量表和 20 项自我报告问卷。
过去 12 个月 IPV 的流行率为 24.8%，其中情绪虐待最为常见（89.8%）。46 名参与者（11.6%）筛查出可能存在精神疾病。IPV 的预测因素包括过去 12 个月伴侣饮酒（调整后的优势比[aOR]：2.67；95%置信区间[CI]：1.16-6.16；p 0.02）、精神疾病（aOR：2.53；95% CI：1.27-5.04；p 0.01）、单身（aOR：2.12；95% CI：1.25-3.58；p 0.01）和多胎（aOR：2.5；95% CI：1.43-4.38；p 0.001）。
亲密伴侣暴力在尼日利亚孕妇中很常见。确定的可改变风险因素可以作为这些环境中妇女筛查和干预的目标。
