Preferences and barriers to treatment of mood, anxiety, and stress related disorders and experience of intimate partner violence among women up to 4 months postpartum Short title: “Intimate partner violence care and treatment preferences in post-partum wo

亲密伴侣暴力、围产期情绪和焦虑障碍以及与压力有关的障碍是影响育龄妇女的三大全球保健负担，对个人和社会都产生有害后果。特别是在怀孕和产后期间，女性特别容易受到IPV， PMAD和/或创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的影响。虽然平等获得医疗保健是所有欧洲医疗保健系统的中心目标，但国际研究表明，这一目标尚未实现，许多妇女没有得到她们需要或希望得到的帮助。因此，我们将调查产后妇女使用IPV、PMAD和/或PTSD治疗和咨询的潜在障碍和促进因素。也就是说，对于每一种个人健康负担，我们将审查其寻求健康的行为、治疗和咨询的偏好以及障碍，以便根据产后妇女的需要改进和调整治疗和咨询。

Intimate partner violence (IPV), perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMAD) as well as stress related disorders are three global health care burdens affecting women of reproductive age, with detrimental consequences for both the individual and society. Especially during pregnancy and the postpartum period women have been shown to beparticularly vulnerable to the experience of IPV, PMAD, and/or posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Although equal access to health care is a central goal in all European health-care systems, international studies show that this aim has not been accomplishedyet and many women do not receive the help they need or that they would wish for. We will therefore investigate barriers and facilitating factors potentially associated with utilisation of treatment and counselling for IPV, PMAD, and/or PTSD for women in the postpartumperiod. That is, for each of the individual health burdens we will examine their health-seeking behavior, treatment and counselling preferences as well as barriers in order to improve and tailor treatment and counselling to the needs of postpartum women.
