This study aimed to determine the prevalence of different types of intimate partner violence (IPV) experienced by married Iranian women and their impact on the growth and development of their children.
For this descriptive-analytical study, we recruited the mothers of one-year-old children attending primary health centers in Gonbad-e-Kavoos city, Iran. The data was collected using a questionnaire comprising the World Health Organization Domestic Violence, Ages and Stages Questionnaire-12; and queries related to the participants' socio-economic, obstetrics, demographic, and anthropometric characteristics. The body mass index z (BMI z) scores of the children were divided into five categories based on the World Health Organization's classification: severely underweight (z < -3), underweight (-3 ≤ z < -2), normal (-2 ≤ z < 1), overweight (1 ≤ z ≤ 2), and obese (z > 2). The data were subjected to descriptive analysis, chi-square test, and regression.
A total of 596 of mother-child dyads were included in this study. The prevalence of psychological, physical, and sexual IPV was 29.5%, 7.4%, and 2.4%, respectively. Most children (91.7%) had normal weight while the rest were overweight or obese. Developmental problems were reported in 1.7% of children. The education level of the father was significantly related to IPV (0.001) while the type of his occupation was related to delay in child growth (0.020). There was no significant difference between BMI z-score and developmental disabilities in the children of women exposed and not exposed to any type of IPV.
The prevalence of psychological IPV was high while those of physical and sexual IPV were low. The rates of poor child growth and development were also low. The father's educational and socio-economic status influenced IPV and the children's growth deficits.
本研究旨在确定伊朗已婚女性经历的不同类型亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）的患病率及其对子女生长发育的影响。
在这项描述性分析研究中，我们招募了伊朗贡巴德 - 卡武斯市初级卫生中心一岁儿童的母亲。数据通过一份问卷收集，该问卷包括世界卫生组织家庭暴力、年龄与阶段问卷 - 12；以及与参与者的社会经济、产科、人口统计学和人体测量学特征相关的问题。根据世界卫生组织的分类，儿童的体重指数z（BMI z）得分分为五类：严重体重不足（z < -3）、体重不足（-3 ≤ z < -2）、正常（-2 ≤ z < 1）、超重（1 ≤ z ≤ 2）和肥胖（z > 2）。对数据进行描述性分析、卡方检验和回归分析。
本研究共纳入596对母婴。心理、身体和性方面的亲密伴侣暴力患病率分别为29.5%、7.4%和2.4%。大多数儿童（91.7%）体重正常，其余为超重或肥胖。据报告，1.7%的儿童存在发育问题。父亲的教育水平与亲密伴侣暴力显著相关（0.001），而其职业类型与儿童生长迟缓相关（0.020）。暴露于任何类型亲密伴侣暴力和未暴露于任何类型亲密伴侣暴力的女性所生子女的BMI z得分与发育障碍之间没有显著差异。
心理亲密伴侣暴力的患病率较高，而身体和性亲密伴侣暴力的患病率较低。儿童生长发育不良的发生率也较低。父亲的教育和社会经济地位影响亲密伴侣暴力以及儿童的生长缺陷。
