Abstract:

Intimate Partner Violence by is an important cause of morbidity and mortality of women. Although there are no official statistics, data show high prevalence worldwide. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and factors associated with intimate partner violence among women in a community in Recife / Pernambuco. A cross-sectional cohort study including 245 women, aged 15-49 years. We used questionnaire with sociodemographic variables, plus tools WHO STUDY VAW and Self-Report Questionnaire (SRQ-20). All participants signed a consent form. The prevalence of intimate partner violence was, by type of violence suffered emotional, 52.7%; physical, sexual and 46.1%, 13.6%. The bivariate analysis showed an association between experiencing violence with not having a partner (p = 0.001) and drug use (p <0.001). In multivariate analysis, the variables found strongly associated with the outcome: sexual intercourse for fear (OR 5.58); depressive-anxious mood (OR 2.69); drug use (OR 2.57). High prevalence of intimate partner violence in the community, especially the emotional violence, stands out as important finding, indicating the need for care in the prevention and overall health of this population.
