Objective:
This study aimed to determine the relationship between intimate partner violence and menopausal symptoms.
Methods:
The cross-sectional design included 168 postmenopausal women, 69 in the self-reported intimate partner violence group and 99 in the control (no experience of intimate partner violence) group. The women were registered in a family health center. Menopausal symptoms were assessed using the Menopause Rating Scale. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, χ2 test, independent-samples t test, Mann-Whitney U test, and logistic regression analysis.
Results:
In our study, it was found that 62.3% of the women in the intimate partner violence group experienced physical, 71.0% verbal, 29.0% psychological, 4.3% economic, and 1.4% sexual violence. It was determined that there was a relationship between intimate partner violence and menopausal symptoms (OR = 1.11, 95% CI = 1.07 to 1.17).
Conclusions:
In the study, it was found that there was a relationship between intimate partner violence and menopausal symptoms.
