Summary: The study aimed to determine the prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization during pregnancy and the early postnatal period in Korean community samples and identify associated factors. The researchers surveyed 5953 pregnant mothers and mothers with young children enrolled in the Early Life Health Management Program provided by 30 public health centers in Korea. The results showed that the prevalence of IPV was 7.6% using the Korean Hurt, Insult, Threaten, and Scream (K-HITS) questionnaire with a cut-off score of 6.

Summary: This study compared the prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) during the perinatal period among respondents with self-reported disability to those without disability. The findings revealed that respondents with disabilities experienced higher rates of IPV both before and during pregnancy. This highlights the increased risk for adverse maternal, neonatal, and infant health outcomes among individuals with disabilities. Screening for IPV and providing appropriate support and resources are crucial for women with disabilities during the perinatal period.

Summary: Past research has shown that intimate partner violence (IPV) is associated with less adequate access to prenatal care. This study examines the association between physical IPV during and before pregnancy and the adequacy of prenatal care, as well as the barriers to prenatal care. The findings indicate that women with IPV exposure, especially those who experience IPV before and during pregnancy, are more likely to experience inadequate prenatal care and face various barriers to accessing care.

Summary: This study aimed to measure the prevalence of intimate partner violence during pregnancy (IPVDP) and identify its associated factors. Among the 263 married women interviewed, 30% experienced IPVDP during pregnancy, with controlling behavior being the most common type (20.2%), followed by emotional (18.6%), sexual (10.6%), economic (6.1%), and physical violence (5.3%). The study found that alcohol and tobacco consumption by husbands, lack of family support, and undefined marriage timing were associated with higher likelihood of experiencing IPVDP.
