亲密伴侣暴力是一种全球性流行病，许多人早在2019冠状病毒病之前就已成为其受害者。国际组织记录了在当前大流行期间IPV报告的增加，提高了对这种增加的潜在原因的认识。考虑到与IPV相关的风险因素，以及肇事者对受害者施加控制的潜在需求，了解当前的社交距离、自我隔离和封锁政策如何导致IPV发作变得越来越重要。此外，获得专门服务和卫生保健的机会可能受到影响，卫生保健专业人员在管理IPV病例时面临大流行带来的新挑战和要求。本文首先检查文献中与IPV更常见的主要危险因素。报告首先思考了这些风险因素在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间可能如何加剧，这可以解释报告数量增加的原因。最后，它强调了卫生保健专业人员在大流行期间协助IPV受害者时面临的新挑战，并就在Covid-19大流行期间和之后实施的行动提供了可能的建议，以预防此类病例。
Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a global pandemic and many have been victims of it long before Covid-19. International organizations have documented an increase in IPV reports during the current pandemic, raising awareness of the potential causes for such an increase. Reflecting on risk factors associated with IPV, and the underlying need of the perpetrators to exert control over the victims, it becomes increasingly important to understand how the current policies of social distancing, self-isolation, and lockdown can precipitate episodes of IPV. Furthermore, access to specialized services and health care can be compromised, and health care professionals face new challenges and demands imposed by the pandemic while managing IPV cases. This article begins by examining the main risk factors more commonly associated with IPV in the literature. It proceeds by reflecting on how these risk factors may be exacerbated during the Covid-19 pandemic, which can explain the increased number of reports. Finally, it emphasizes the new challenges faced by health care professionals, while assisting IPV victims during the pandemic and provides possible recommendations on actions to implement during and beyond the Covid-19 pandemic to prevent such cases.
