Abstract

Objectives

To identify the influence of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) risk and the risk of developing mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation during the perinatal period.

Study design

Descriptive observational study.

Methods

A questionnaire containing socio-demographic, psychosocial, and maternal health variables was administered, as well as the Woman Abuse Screening Tool (WAST), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7), and Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS) questionnaires to women who have given birth in the last 18 months. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed, as well as binary logistic regression for multivariate analysis.

Results

820 women participated. The risk of IPV was 65.9 % (540), where 59.2 % (485) had a score of 1–2 points and 6.7 % (55) had a score of 3–4 points on the WAST questionnaire. Multivariate analysis found that this risk was associated with anxiety risk, with a score of 1–2 (aOR:2.39; 95 % CI: 1.72, 3.32) and 3–4 points (aOR:4.74; 95 % CI: 2.24, 10.04) on the WAST. Moderate anxiety risk was associated with a WAST score of 1–2 (aOR:1.88; 95 % CI: 1.03, 3.43) and 3–4 (aOR:2.92; 95 % CI: 1.18, 7.23). The risk of postpartum depression with a WAST score of 1–2 (aOR:1.99; 95 % CI: 1.30, 3.04) and 3–4 (aOR:2.80; 95 % CI: 1.36, 5.76), and for the risk of perinatal suicidal ideation with a WAST score of 1–2 (aOR:2.56; 95 % CI: 1.12, 5.81) and 3–4 (aOR:6.40; 95 % CI: 2.18, 18.76).

Conclusion

Exposure to Intimate Partner Violence in the perinatal period (pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum) is associated with an increased likelihood of risk for anxiety, postpartum depression, and perinatal suicidal ideation.

围产期亲密伴侣暴力与妇女焦虑、抑郁和自杀意念的风险

目的探讨围产期亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）风险对围产儿抑郁、焦虑、自杀意念等心理健康障碍的影响。研究设计描述性观察性研究。方法采用包含社会人口学、社会心理和孕产妇健康变量的问卷，以及妇女虐待筛查工具（WAST）、广泛焦虑障碍（GAD-7）和爱丁堡产后抑郁量表（EPDS）问卷对近18个月分娩的妇女进行调查。进行描述性统计分析，并进行二元逻辑回归进行多变量分析。结果共有820名女性参与。IPV的风险为65.9%(540)，其中59.2%（485）的WAST评分为1-2分，6.7%（55）的WAST评分为3-4分。多变量分析发现，该风险与焦虑风险相关，WAST得分为1-2分（aOR:2.39; 95% CI: 1.72, 3.32）和3-4分（aOR:4.74; 95% CI: 2.24, 10.04）。中度焦虑风险与WAST评分相关，分别为1-2 （aOR:1.88; 95% CI: 1.03, 3.43）和3-4 （aOR:2.92; 95% CI: 1.18, 7.23）。产后抑郁风险为1-2 （aOR:1.99; 95% CI: 1.30, 3.04）和3-4 (aOR:2.80; 95% CI: 1.36, 5.76)，围产期自杀意念风险为1-2 （aOR:2.56; 95% CI: 1.12, 5.81）和3-4 （aOR:6.40; 95% CI: 2.18, 18.76）。结论围产期（妊娠、分娩和产后）接触亲密伴侣暴力与焦虑、产后抑郁和围产期自杀意念风险增加有关。
