Clinical Trial Summary
identify acceptability of ever married women against intimate partner violence and its
correlates among women attending primary health care in Assiut city.
Description:
Violence against women is a major public health problem . World Health Organization estimates
that globally 30% of women have been subjected to either physical and/or sexual intimate
partner violence(IPV) or non-partner sexual violence in their lifetime.
IPV refers to any behaviour within an intimate relationship that causes physical,
psychological or sexual harm to those in the relationship. IPV definition covers violence by
both current and former spouses and partners. Forms of intimate partner violence include:
Acts of physical violence, sexual violence, emotional (psychological) abuse, and controlling
behaviors.
Initial studies on IPV against women tended to concentrate on assessment of incidence and
prevalence. Although prevalence is critical, reducing or eliminating some problems also
requires comprehension of cultural norms and expectations.
An ecological approach showed that public attitudes accepting or justifying violence and
aggression are a risk factor at a macro social level, as they can encourage or deter its
occurrence in societies.
UN Women reported that among Egyptian women in reproductive age, the prevalence of lifetime
physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence was 26% and the prevalence of physical
and/or sexual intimate partner violence in the last 12 months was 14 %.
The Egyptian studies that assessed attitudes of acceptability of IPV and their predictors has
explored acceptability to only one form of IPV. Using a single-item measures, they measured
justification for the husband's use of more severe physical force in response to the wife's
violation of expected domestic roles or his patriarchal control in marriage.
