“…As mentioned above, Iranian women with IPV experiences do not have considerable social and family support due to cultural and traditional issues. Thus, this result is comparable to previous findings in this field (Hosseini, Beyrami & Hashemi 2012;Ziaei et al 2016;Wiess et al 2017). Results of Hosseini study among families of supervisor women indicate that emotional-focused coping styles (escape-avoidance, meeting and seeking social support) and social support variables can predict significantly vulnerability against stress (Hosseini, Beyrami & Hashemi 2012).…”

Stress and Coping Strategies in Women With and Without Intimate-Partner Violence Experiences Background: Intimate-Partner Violence (IPV) is considered a disastrous social phenomenon. Apparently, women are more likely to suffer from the negative impacts of this problem. This study aimed to study and compare vulnerability to stress and coping strategies in women with and without IPV. Methods: This study was a descriptive and cross-sectional research. The study sample was recruited by convenience sampling method. A total of 70 women with IPV and 70 women without IPV were matched by age and educational level. The relevant data were collected by Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WCQ) and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and analyzed using 1-way ANOVA in SPSS V. 22. Results: The findings revealed a significant difference between coping strategies used by the two groups; women with IPV employed more emotional-focused coping strategies compared to women without IPV (P<0.001). Moreover, vulnerability to stress in women without IPV was less than the women with IPV experiences (P<0.001). Conclusion: According to the findings, it is recommended that the coping strategy skills of women experiencing IPV be enhanced and their marital conflicts be resolved.

“…Several studies reveal that women with IPV experiences are more likely to report physical and emotional symptom of stress (Ziaei et al 2016;Wiess et al 2017). The results of Weiss et al (2017) study among women experiencing partner violence demonstrate that greater avoidance coping is related to more symptoms of PTSD in American women.…”

“…Intimate partner violence (IPV) is the one of the most important risk factors found in our study, which was consistent with most of the literature of postpartum depression [2, 13, 45–50]. In a recent study of Bangladesh, Ziaie found that all forms of domestic violence were strongly associated with higher levels of emotional distress during the pregnancy period as well [51]. In our study, we also found that poor marital relationship (sharing personal feelings and practical support in household work) with husbands was a strong predictor of PPD, consistent with the findings of other studies [1, 52].…”

25Postpartum depression (PPD) is a serious pubic health concern and known to have 26 the adverse effects on mother 's perinatal wellbeing; and child 's physical and codnitive 27 development. There were limited literatures on PPD in Bangladesh, especially in urban slum 28 context. The aim of this study was to assess the burden and risk factors of PPD among the 29 urban slum women. A cross-sectional study was conducted between November-December 30 2017 in three urban slums on 376 women within first 12 months of postpartum. A validated 31 Bangla version of Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale was used to measure the depression 32 status. Respondent's socio-economic characteristics and other risk factors were collected with 33 structured validated questionaire by trained interviewers . Unadjusted Prevalence Ratio (PR) 34 and Adjusted Prevalence Ratio (APR) were estimated with Generalized Linear Model(GLM) 35 and Generalized Estimating Equation (GEE) respectively to identify the risk factors of PPD. 36 The prevalence of PPD was 39.4% within first 12 months following the child birth. Job 37 involvement after child delivery (APR=1.9, 95% CI= 1.1, 3.3), job loss due to pregnancy 38 (APR=1.5, 95% CI= 1.0, 2.1), perinatal and postnatal death (APR=1.4, 95% CI= 0.97, 2.0), 39 unintended pregnancy (APR=1.8, 95% CI= 1.3, 2.5), management of delivery cost by 40 borrowing, selling or mortgaging assets (APR=1.3, 95% CI= 0.94, 1.9), depressive symptom 41 during pregnancy (APR=2.5, 95% CI= 1.7, 3.8) and intimate partner violence (APR=2.0, 95% 42 CI= 1.2, 3.3), were identified as risk factors.PPD was not associated with poverty, mother in 43 law and any child related factors. The burden of postpartum depression is high in the urban 44 slum of Bangladesh. Maternal mental health services should be integrated with existing 45 maternal health services. Research is required for the innovation of effective, low cost and 46 culturally appropriate PPD case management and preventive intervention in urban slum of 47 Postpartum depression (PPD) is a common, non-psychotic mood or mental disorder 51 which typically manifests in mothers within one year of delivery (first year postpartum) [1, 2]. 52Globally, the prevalence of PPD among mothers ranges from 0.5% to 60.8% [3]. In 53 comparison to women of developed countries, women of developing countries showed higher 54 rates of PPD [4]. A systematic review of 28 developed countries reported that the prevalence 55 PPD symptom (PPDS) was 6-13% among women in high income nations [5]. An independent 56 systematic review on low and middle income countries (LMIC) found the prevalence of 57 postpartum common mental disorder was approximately 20% [6]. Asian countries reported 58 between 3.5-63.3% prevalence rates of depression in postpartum women [7]. In India the 59 prevalence of depression varied from 11% to 16% within fourteen weeks of delivery [8]. 60Several studies conducted in rural Bangladesh found the prevalence of PPD ranged from 18% 61 to 35% among rural women [1, 2, 9]. 62 63 ...

“…They also reported that 20–75% of women experienced at least one psychologically abusive act by their partner in their lifetimes. High rates of lifetime physical (42–51%), sexual (37–50%), and psychological (28%) IPV against women in Bangladesh have been documented in several population‐based studies (Garcia‐Moreno et al, ; Koenig, Ahmed, & Hossain, ; Ziaei, Frith, Ekström, & Naved, ). However, these figures depend on the definitions, assessment tools, and population used.…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV), an actual or threatened physical, sexual, or psychological abuse by a current or former partner or spouse, is a common global public health issue. Understanding both the prevalence of IPV during pregnancy and its potential impact on the health of pregnant women is important for the development and implementation of interventions to prevent maternal morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this study was to explore the association between maternal experiences of IPV during pregnancy and pregnancy complications. A health-facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted from July 2015 to April 2016 among 400 randomly selected women who were admitted to the postnatal wards of Rajshahi Medical College Hospital for delivery. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a structured questionnaire. Multivariable logistic regressions were performed to assess relationships between variables of interest after controlling for potential confounders. Results indicated that 39.0% of women reported physical IPV and 26.3% of women reported sexual IPV during pregnancy. Additionally, 69.5% of women experienced medical complications (MCs); of this group, 44.3% experienced obstetric complications (OCs) and 79.3% experienced any pregnancy complication (AC) during their last pregnancy. The experience of physical IPV during pregnancy was significantly associated with the experience of MCs (adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 2.05, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.15-4.01), OCs (AOR: 4.23, 95% CI: 2.01-7.12) and AC (AOR: 5.26, 95% CI: 2.98-10.52). Women who experienced sexual IPV during pregnancy were also at increased risk of suffering from any MC, any OC, and AC. Maternal experience of IPV during pregnancy is positively associated with pregnancy complications. Preventing IPV directed at pregnant women might reduce maternal morbidity and mortality in Bangladesh.
