Abstract
Aim
Intimate partner violence (IPV) against pregnant women during pregnancy is a major concern to healthcare practitioners globally due to the negative impact on the health of the woman and her unborn child. This study determined the level of IPV experienced among pregnant women and the factors influencing the occurrence.
Method
A cross-sectional descriptive research design was employed, and data were collected from 394 pregnant women attending two selected public healthcare facilities in Lagos State, Nigeria. The World Health Organization Multi-Country Study on Women's Health and Domestic Violence Against Women questionnaire was used to collect the information. Frequency and percentage were used to determine the experience of IPV and Binomial regression was used to predict the associated factors on the experience of IPV at significance set at p < 0.05.
Results
The results revealed that 28.45 of pregnant women had experienced IPV. The Pregnant women who are married were 2.4 times more likely to experience IPV compared to those who are pregnant but not married (adjusted OR = 2.392, 95% CI 1.854 – 3.954; p = 0.030). Pregnant women who did not planned for the pregnancy were 4 times more likely to experience IPV (adjusted OR = 4.012, 95% CI 2.119 – 8.333; p = 0.008). Also, pregnant women from polygamous settings were more likely to experience IPV compared with those in monogamous family (adjusted OR = 3.420, 95% CI 1.979 – 6.321; p = 0.026).
Conclusion
This study concluded that about one quarter of the pregnant women had experienced IPV. Some of the factors contributing to the experience are the low monthly income of the pregnant women, polygamous settings and unplanned pregnancy. Therefore, there is a need for more enlightenment on the factors responsible for IPV among pregnant women.
