我们旨在描述19个国家怀孕期间亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）的流行情况，并研究各年龄组和联合国区域的趋势。我们对1998年至2007年间进行的人口与健康调查（来自15个国家的20项调查）和国际暴力侵害妇女行为调查（来自4个国家的4项调查）的数据进行了二次分析。我们的数据表明，怀孕期间的亲密伴侣暴力是一种常见的经历。怀孕期间IPV的流行率从澳大利亚、柬埔寨、丹麦和菲律宾的约2.0%到乌干达的13.5%不等。一半的调查估计患病率在3.9%至8.7%之间。与接受调查的欧洲和亚洲国家相比，非洲和拉丁美洲国家的患病率似乎更高。在大多数情况下，患病率在较年轻的年龄组（15-35岁）相对稳定，然后在35岁之后似乎略有下降。怀孕期间的亲密伴侣暴力比产前保健中常规筛查的一些孕产妇健康状况更为常见。降低孕产妇死亡率和改善孕产妇保健的全球倡议必须更多地关注对妇女的暴力行为，特别是怀孕期间的暴力行为。(C)2010年生殖健康事项。版权所有。
We aimed to describe the prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) during pregnancy across 19 countries, and examine trends across age groups and UN regions. We conducted a secondary analysis of data from the Demographic and Health Surveys (20 surveys from 15 countries) and the International Violence Against Women Surveys (4 surveys from 4 countries) carried out between 1998 and 2007. Our data suggest that intimate partner violence during a pregnancy is a common experience. The prevalence of IPV during pregnancy ranged from approximately 2.0% in Australia, Cambodia, Denmark and the Philippines to 13.5% in Uganda among ever-pregnant, ever-partnered women; half of the surveys estimated prevalence to be between 3.9 and 8.7%. Prevalence appeared to be higher in African and Latin American countries relative to the European and Asian countries surveyed. In most settings, prevalence was relatively constant in the younger age groups (age 15-35), and then appeared to decline very slightly after age 35. Intimate partner violence during pregnancy is more common than some maternal health conditions routinely screened for in antenatal care. Global initiatives to reduce maternal mortality and improve maternal health must devote increased attention to violence against women, particularly violence during pregnancy.
