Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a global health problem of enormous proportions. However, little is known about the prevalence or health consequences of IPV among women in Stockholm, Sweden, a city characterised by high levels of gender equality that hosts a large population of people born outside Europe.
This study aimed to assess the prevalence of exposure to physical, psychological and sexual IPV and its associated background factors and health outcomes.
This was a cross-sectional study employing a survey containing questions about the previous year's exposure to IPV that was distributed to 35 midwifery clinics in Stockholm during the autumn of 2020. Any woman who visited any of these midwifery clinics during these two months was eligible to participate.
A total of 2239 women answered the questionnaire, of whom 25.1% reported having been subjected to IPV at some point during their life and 8.7% during the previous year. The most common ongoing exposure was psychological violence, which was reported by 6.6% of the women. Women living with IPV reported poorer self-rated general health and more recurring health symptoms and depression than unexposed women.
亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)是一个全球性的、规模巨大的健康问题。然而,在斯德哥尔摩,瑞典,一个性别平等程度很高的城市,居住着大量来自欧洲以外的人,对于女性中 IPV 的流行程度或健康后果知之甚少。
本研究旨在评估瑞典斯德哥尔摩女性经历身体、心理和性 IPV 的流行程度及其相关背景因素和健康结果。
这是一项横断面研究,采用问卷调查,询问过去一年中是否曾遭受 IPV 暴露,并于 2020 年秋季在斯德哥尔摩的 35 家助产士诊所分发。这两个月内访问这些助产士诊所的任何女性都有资格参加。
共有 2239 名女性回答了问卷,其中 25.1%的人在一生中的某个时候遭受过 IPV,8.7%的人在过去一年中遭受过 IPV。最常见的持续暴力是心理暴力,有 6.6%的女性报告了这种暴力。经历 IPV 的女性自我报告的总体健康状况较差,出现更多反复发作的健康症状和抑郁。
