The aim was to estimate the prevalence
of sexual and physical intimate partner violence
(IPV) and its associated factors, in a
sample of pregnant women using antenatal
care (ANC) in Nampula province -
Mozambique. This cross-sectional study
was carried out in six health units in
Nampula, from February 2013 to January
2014. Overall, 869 participants answered
the Conflict Tactics Scale 2. The lifetime
and past year prevalence of sexual abuse
was 49% and 46%, and of physical abuse
was 46% and 44%, respectively. Lifetime
and past year sexual abuse was significantly
associated with living as a couple, alcohol
drinking and having a past diagnosis of
gonorrhea. Lifetime and past year physical
abuse increased significantly with age and
was associated with living as a couple, alcohol
drinking and history with syphilis. The
prevalence of lifetime and previous year
violence among women using ANC was
high and similar showing that most women
were constantly exposed to IPV. ANC provides
a window of opportunity for identifying
and acting on violence against women.
