Objective: We reviewed the public health interventions for preventing domestic
violence in women and assessed efficacy of these interventions.
Methods: We searched articles in PubMed, Scopus databases, and related
systematic reviews in Cochrane database by the means of related key words:
domestic violence, intimate partner violence, partner abuse, spouse abuse,
battered women, and sexual abuse. Also, references list and papers of experts
were searched. By reviewing, analyzing, and classifying the related
interventions, we assessed their efficacy.
Findings: The results were analyzed from 15 articles and 2 systematic reviews
in which the impact of public health intervention for prevention or decreasing
domestic violence in women had been studied. There are two types of
interventions to help women experiencing or have experienced domestic
violence: system-centered intervention (such as empowering staff to identify and
manage the domestic violence cases), and women-centered intervention (such as
education and psychological and therapeutic counseling for women). Findings
showed that these interventions are effective for prevention or decreasing
domestic violence cases. Conclusion: This study showed that educating and empowering public health
staff increased the rates of identifying and managing domestic violence cases.
We also found that education about predisposing factors of domestic violence
and communicational and adaptive skills to women led to decreasing in domestic
violence cases.
