“…In agreement with previous studies [ 14 , 21 , 22 ], in this study sexually assaulted women were also more likely to report threatening or attempting suicide. This finding highlights the importance of mental health management, particularly regarding suicidal behaviour, and history of sexual assault [ 23 ].…”

BackgroundLittle is known about the occurrence and health consequences of intimate partner sexual assault. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and correlates of sexual assault in the context of intimate partner violence (IPV) in Thailand.MethodsIn a cross-sectional survey adult female participants were systematically screened (self-administered or interview administered) for IPV in antenatal care and general outpatient clinics in nine randomly selected hospitals in two provinces in the central region. Measures included the Abuse Assessment Screen, Severity of Violence Against Women Scale, Danger assessment and suicidal behaviour.ResultsFrom 14,288 women screened, 1.5% were positive for IPV and 207 participated in the study. The mean age of the study participants was 26.8 years (SD = 9.3). Fifty-seven women, 27.5% of the sample, reported sexual assault, one or more times, during the relationship in the past 12 months. Most reported some form of psychological abuse (82.1%), physical violence (67.1%) and danger (72.0%). In all, 21.3% reported psychological, physical and sexual violence. Bivariate analyses found that older age, being recruited in the general out-patient department, greater number of children, high psychological abuse, high physical violence, danger and suicidal behaviour in the past 12 months were associated with sexual assault. In multivariable backward conditional logistic regression physical violence (OR = 5.32, CI = 2.52–11.24) and suicidal behaviour (OR = 3.28, CI = 1.37–7.83) were found to be associated with sexual assault.ConclusionsThe study found a moderate rate of sexual assault in intimate violent partner relationships and those sexual assaults are more likely to co-occur with physical intimate partner violence and suicidal behaviour. This knowledge may be helpful in the detection and management of sexual assault in intimate violent partner relationships of women in health care settings in Thailand.

“…It has been found that 8.8% of women in the United States of America have been raped by their partners (Breiding, 2015), indicating that IPSV is a serious problem across different cultural contexts. Given that sexual violence can exist alongside physical and psychological violence, the health repercussions can become highly dangerous (Alsaker et al, 2011;Jaffe et al, 2017). However, though the prevalence and consequences of physical violence by partners have been widely documented, little is known about IPSV (Pengpid et al, 2018).…”

The purpose of this paper is to discover the extent to which women living homeless in Madrid (Spain) have been victims of intimate partner sexual violence (IPSV), analysing the connection between stressful life events (SLE) relating to violent victimisation and having suffered sexual assault by a partner. This study took place using a sample of women living homeless in Madrid (n = 136). The results obtained show that a high percentage of the women living homeless who were questioned had been victims of IPSV. The women interviewed, who had been victims of IPSV, had suffered, to a greater extent, SLEs relating to situations of violent victimisation, both during childhood and adolescence as well as in adulthood. The episodes of violent victimisation that seem to be the most common forerunners to IPSV are incidents of sexual abuse in childhood and adolescence.

“…Det er funnet assosiasjoner mellom seksuell vold og partnerdrap internasjonalt (12). Også i Norge er det funnet forbindelser mellom seksuell vold og alvorlig vold, for eksempel vold mot en gravid mage (14). Sammenhenger mellom ulike former for partnervold mot kvinner og helseproblemer er etter hvert grundig dokumentert, både nasjonalt og internasjonalt (4,(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)15).…”

“…I en studie blant kvinner ved norske krisesentre (14) var seksuell tvang fra partneren forbundet med annen alvorlig fysisk og psykisk vold, som vold mot gravid mage, dominans og isolasjon samt bitemerker, lugging og vridning av arm (14). Seksuell tvang opptrer i sammenheng med mange andre typer vold og svaert alvorlig vold, også i vårt befolkningsutvalg.…”

Denne ar tikkelen nnes også i engelsk utga ve. Publiserings dat o: 26.06.2018 Kvinner som har opplevd seksuell tvang, har i stor grad opplevd andre former for vold, som dominans-og isolasjonsvold, emosjonell, verbal eller fysisk vold. Resultat: Av 1500 kvinner svarte 527 på spørreskjemaet. 480 hadde bodd sammen med partneren, og ble inkludert i studien. 5,8 prosent av deltakerne rapporterte om opplevd seksuell tvang fra partneren. Seksuell tvang er assosiert med både fysisk og psykisk vold samt handlinger fra partneren som gjør det vanskelig for kvinnene å vaere i lønnet arbeid. Det er en klar sammenheng mellom økende psykisk vold og erfart seksuell tvang. Jo hyppigere kvinnene har opplevd ulike handlinger av typen dominans og isolasjonsvold eller emosjonell og verbal vold, jo hyppigere har de blitt utsatt for seksuell tvang.Konklusjon: Seksuell tvang fra ektefelle eller samboer mot kvinner er assosiert med handlinger av psykisk og fysisk vold. Seksuell tvang forekommer også sammen med handlinger som gjør det vanskelig å vaere i arbeid.
