Prevalence of intimate partner violence victimization and its association with mental disorders in the Korean general population

Archives of Women's Mental Health Aug 07, 2019

An JH, et al. - Researchers examined women in the general Korean population for the association between mental health and experiencing physical or sexual intimate partner violence (IPV). Among 3,160 South Korean women aged 18 to 74 who responded to the Korean version of the WHO-Composite International Diagnostic Interview (version 2.1) and questions about IPV, they found significantly increased odds of experiencing any mental disorders over their lifetime in relation to victimization by any type of IPV. Participants who experienced sexual IPV had the highest odds of having mental disorders. They identified greater odds of major depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, specific phobias, agoraphobia, and nicotine dependence in correlation with sexual IPV experience among these participants. They identified a strong correlation of alcohol use disorder with experiencing physical IPV. The highest proportion of any form of IPV was noted in the youngest age group, from 18 to 35 years old and the never-married group. Findings emphasize the early provision of treatment specific to each type of IPV to prevent mental disorders among female IPV victims.
