Background
- Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant global health issue.
- Understanding the relationship between IPV experiences and healthcare access is crucial for public health interventions.
Purpose Of The Study
- To assess physical intimate partner violence (IPV) experiences among married women in South Korea.
- To examine the association between different types of IPV experiences and unmet healthcare needs.
Main Methods
- Analysis of data from a nationally representative longitudinal survey of 6,533 married women.
- Categorization of IPV experiences into 'none,' 'victimization only,' 'perpetration only,' and 'both victimization and perpetration.'
- Statistical analysis using adjusted odds ratios to determine associations with unmet healthcare needs.
Main Results
- Women reporting 'victimization only' IPV had significantly higher unmet healthcare needs (OR: 5.49) compared to those with no IPV experience.
- No statistically significant association was found between 'perpetration only' or 'both victimization and perpetration' IPV and unmet healthcare needs.
- The prevalence of unmet healthcare needs was 0.8% at baseline.
Conclusions
- Physical IPV victimization is linked to substantial barriers in accessing healthcare services.

When the attack occurred, she screamed for help numerous times and eventually died from her stab wounds.
