Intimate partner violence (IPV) during pregnancy has been associated with multiple negative health outcomes for the mother, including emotional distress during pregnancy. However, little is known about IPV during pregnancy and its association with emotional distress among pregnant women in South Africa. The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of both emotional distress and IPV during pregnancy, to identify whether different exposures of violence and relational control were associated with emotional distress during pregnancy, and to assess whether social support attenuated the relationship between IPV and emotional distress in pregnancy. Pregnant women enrolled in the South Africa HIV Antenatal and Post-test Support Study (SAHAPS) who completed the baseline survey were included in this cross sectional analysis. We used logistic regression models to explore bivariate and multivariate relationships between the proposed covariates and emotional distress. Nearly a quarter of women reported experiencing some type of IPV during the current pregnancy, with psychological violence being the most prevalent. The odds of emotional distress was 1.41 times (95% CI: 1.26–1.57) higher for each additional episode of psychological violence and 2.01 times (95% CI: 1.16–3.77) higher for each additional episode of sexual violence during pregnancy, adjusting for other covariates. Physical violence was only marginally associated with increased odds of emotional distress (A.O.R.: 1.17, 95% CI: .99–1.38) after adjusting for other covariates. Finally, social support was also marginally significant as a main effect, but did not attenuate the relationship between IPV and emotional distress. The high prevalence of IPV among pregnant women in South Africa and its association with emotional distress during pregnancy suggest that interventions that reduce violence during or prior to pregnancy are needed. Such interventions can positively impact IPV and may also ameliorate poor mental health in pregnancy.
