Ali, T.S., Sami, N., Saeed, A.A. et al. (1 more author) (2021) Gynaecological morbidities among married women and husband’s behaviour: evidence from a community‐based study. Nursing Open, 8 (2). pp. 553-561. ISSN 2054-1058
Abstract
Aim
To determine the association between gynaecological morbidities and IPV among married women specifically, with attention to the attitudes of the husband and the degree of satisfaction in a marital relationship.
Design
Cross‐sectional study design.
Methods
Data were collected using face‐to‐face interviews with married women aged 15–49 years, living in selected communities. Information was collected on demographic characteristics, gynaecological morbidities and IPV using a self‐developed tool. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data.
Results
Logistic Regression showed a significant association between physical violence and burning micturition, increased urinary frequency, constant dribbling of urine, genital ulcers, lower abdominal pain, vaginal discharge and painful coitus (OR: 1.41–1.84). A significant association between sexual and psychological abuse was also found with burning micturition (OR: 1.41) and dribbling of urine (OR: 0.12). Since gynaecological morbidities can have a serious effect on the psychological, physical well‐being, and the social status of women in Pakistan; effective interventions are imperative in dealing with their symptoms and decreasing their emergence.
