Drawing on data from a prospective pregnancy cohort ( = 1,507), this study examines the relationship between exposure to physical and emotional intimate partner violence (IPV) across the first 10 years of motherhood and women's mental and physical health. A measure of IPV (Composite Abuse Scale) was included at 1, 4, and 10 years postpartum. Past year and prior experiences of IPV were associated with mental and physical health issues at 10 years, both for mothers who had experienced combined IPV and emotional IPV alone. Awareness of the health issues associated with different types of IPV can assist in tailoring responses for women who experience IPV.
本研究利用一个前瞻性妊娠队列（n = 1507）的数据，考察了在为人母的头10年中遭受身体和情感亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）与女性身心健康之间的关系。产后1年、4年和10年时纳入了一项IPV测量指标（综合虐待量表）。过去一年及之前的IPV经历与10年时的身心健康问题相关，这在经历过身体和情感IPV综合暴力以及仅经历情感IPV的母亲中均成立。了解与不同类型IPV相关的健康问题有助于为遭受IPV的女性量身定制应对措施。
