Intimate partner violence (IPV) is one of the major public health problems. Little is known about the extent of violence experienced, its severity, or history of childhood abuse or exposure to intergenerational family violence in women with mental illness.
One hundred women seeking in-patients (IP) or out-patients (OP) services at a tertiary care psychiatric setting were recruited using consecutive sampling. IPV Questionnaire and Danger Assessment Questionnaire were administered.
The data revealed a moderate level of IPV experienced by the women. In their childhood, more than one-third had undergone physical abuse by their fathers and witnessed violence by fathers toward mothers.
Screening for intimate violence is essential in women attending mental health settings.
亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）是主要的公共卫生问题之一。对于患有精神疾病的女性所经历的暴力程度、暴力严重性、童年虐待史或遭受代际家庭暴力的情况，我们知之甚少。
采用连续抽样的方法，招募了100名在三级护理精神病院寻求住院（IP）或门诊（OP）服务的女性。使用了亲密伴侣暴力问卷和危险评估问卷。
数据显示这些女性经历的亲密伴侣暴力程度为中度。在她们的童年时期，超过三分之一的人曾遭受父亲的身体虐待，并目睹父亲对母亲的暴力行为。
对前往心理健康机构就诊的女性进行亲密暴力筛查至关重要。
