Violence against women remains a significant public health problem globally. Majority of longitudinal studies documenting the negative impact of intimate partner violence (IPV) on the mental health of women come from high-income countries. The aim of this study was to investigate the longitudinal association between emotional, physical or sexual IPV and depression symptoms among South African women in a prospective cohort study. Participants were 981 South African women enrolled in the Drakenstein Child Health Study – a cohort study investigating the early life determinants of child health. Interview data from 4 time-points (antenatal care visit, 6 months, 12 months, and 18 months post-partum) were included. The primary independent variable was self-reported emotional, physical and sexual IPV in the past 12 months. Depressive symptoms were assessed at each time-point with the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS); a cut-off score of ≥ 13 was used to define significant depression symptoms. We used pooled-multivariable logistic regression models to determine associations between the 3 different forms of IPV and significant depression symptoms while adjusting for time-fixed and time-updated covariates. Mean age of the sample at antenatal care visit was 27 years (standard deviation=6.0). In the adjusted model including all forms of IPV and adjusting sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, substance use and childhood trauma, emotional [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) =1.55 95% confidence interval (CI); 1.02, 2.34; p=.039)] and sexual (aOR= 2.02, 95% CI: 1.10, 3.72; p=<.001) IPV were significantly associated with significant depression symptoms. The relationship between physical IPV and significant depression symptoms was not statistically significant (aOR=0.68, 95% CI: 0.44, 1.05; p=.485). Our study confirms findings from high-income countries of the association between IPV and depressive symptoms among women in South Africa. Routine screening for IPV, including emotional IPV and intervention programs for IPV among women is needed in South Africa.
