[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS dR0xs2W2. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Intimate partner violence, which describes physical or sexual assault, or both, of a spouse or sexual intimate, Is a common health-care Issue. In this article, I have reviewed research on the mental and physical health sequelae of such violence. Increased health problems such as Injury, chronic pain, gastrointestinal, and gynaecological signs Including sexually-transmitted diseases, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder are well documented by controlled research in abused women in various settings. Intimate partner violence has been noted in 3-13% of pregnancies in many studies from around the world, and Is associated with detrimental outcomes to mothers and Infants. I recommend Increased assessment and interventions for Intimate partner violence in health-care settings.
