AimIntimate partner violence (IPV) is a major global threat to women's health. Stay‐at‐home orders during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic were associated with an increase in IPV. The purpose of this study was to clarify IPV and the situation of women experiencing IPV during the COVID‐19 pandemic in Japan.MethodsA semi‐structured interview was conducted with five healthcare providers who gave support to women experiencing IPV during the COVID‐19 pandemic. All interviews were audio‐recorded, transcribed and analyzed in accordance with thematic analysis methodology.ResultsTwo categories concerning IPV and the situation of women experiencing IPV during the COVID‐19 pandemic emerged from analysis of interviews: (1) the possibility that IPV might change during the pandemic; and (2) barriers that prevent women getting support. “Possibility that IPV might change during the pandemic” consisted of three subcategories: “Male partner takes his stress out on her”; “Male partner forced her out of the home”; and “Conflict occurred more easily at home”. “Barriers that prevent women getting support” had four subcategories: “Difficulty in accessing outside support”; “Restricted access to get care due to financial difficulties”; “Lack of support from her family”; and “Women experience a loss of energy”.ConclusionsDuring the COVID‐19 pandemic, there were barriers to provide support for women despite increased IPV. Healthcare providers should support women using effective methods to protect women's health and safety.
