“…As was the case for eight of our nine individual interview participants, post-marital patrilocal residence dominates in Vietnam, and women thus live in households where their in-laws are heads (Rydström 2010). Our informants, however, did not mention intimate partner violence as a reason for their distress, though lifetime prevalence rates of violence in the present study setting have been found to be as high as 31 % (Nguyen et al 2008) and it has been implicated in the causation of perinatal depression (Edhborg et al 2011). This lack of discussion may have been influenced by the strong cultural tradition of not revealing what is going on within the family (Jonzon et al 2007).…”

The Experience of Perinatal Depression and Implications for Treatment Adaptation: A Qualitative Study in a Semi-rural District in Vietnam

et al. 2014

This study sought to provide an understanding of how perinatal depression is experienced, and how interventions targeting it should be adapted to suit the local context. The study was conducted in a semi-rural district in Vietnam. It comprised of individual interviews with nine women who obtained high scores in a depression selfreport measure during pregnancy, two focus group discussions (FGDs) with health workers from the local community health stations, and two FGDs with elderly women from the local community. Interviews addressed the experience of depression during pregnancy and FGDs addressed the perceptions of depression and the suitability and provision of a mindfulness intervention. Interventions targeting perinatal depression should take into account the particular social aspects that may be intimately linked to its causation and course. The causation of depression was deemed to be predominantly social, including problems between family members and son preference. The mindfulness intervention was thought suitable for the local context. Delivery through well-supported community meetings was recommended. A locally adapted intervention is thus deemed suitable for the local context, and could be provided as a component of a stepped-care model for depression treatment. The results of this study may not be generalizable beyond the group studied, or the context of Ba Vi, Vietnam.

“…15e17 While medical schools in the USA often include IPV education, 18 to the best of the authors' knowledge, there are no formal IPV curricula at medical schools in Vietnam and China. Studies in Vietnam, 16 China 19 and the USA 15,20,21 have shown that IPV victims are more likely to be diagnosed with injuries, chronic pain syndromes, mental health problems, reproductive health issues, cardiovascular disease and poorer health overall than individuals who have never experienced IPV. Educating future physicians about the health effects of IPV is essential to improve their skills in addressing this important healthcare issue for women.…”

“…physical, emotional, and sexual). A study conducted with married women in Vietnam reported the proportion of women exposed to both physical and sexual violence as 32.7% (Vung, Ostergren, & Krantz, 2008). In our study, more than half of the participants reported at least one of the behaviors involving sexual violence in their current marriages by their husbands (Table 2).…”

Domestic violence is a universal problem, and sexual violence in marriage, in particular, is a hidden form of it. This descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted to determine to the prevalence of domestic sexual violence by husbands, the prevalence of sexual problems, and the relation of these among married women attending a gynecology outpatient clinic. This study was performed in a university hospital in Turkey and data were collected February-April 2009. The study sample consisted of 200 married women, 53% of whom reported having been exposed to at least one type of domestic sexual violence behaviors by their husbands. Among those behaviors, the rate of marital rape was 33%. The frequency of experiencing any sexual problem was 82%. Women expressed that they mostly had orgasmic problems, and their husbands had premature ejaculation problems. The majority of women who reported sexual violence reported experiencing sexual problems; the frequency of sexual problems was higher in the participants who did (94.3%) than in those who did not report (68.1%) sexual violence (p < .001). Bad sexual harmony (Odds ratio [OR] = 13.50, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 3.87-47.01) and experiencing sexual problems (OR = 12.67, 95% CI = 3.78-42.35) were strongly related to sexual violence in marriage. The results also revealed that the prevalence of sexual violence and sexual problems among those married women who attended gynecology clinics was considerable, even though they did not report this to the health care provider as a problem.
