en Determinants of Violence Types among Reproductive Age Women: A Cross-Sectional Study in Sarab City بهداشت Health پژوهشي Original Article <div style="text-align: justify;">Background and Purpose: Violence against reproductive age women harms other health priorities; such as family planning and maternal health. This study aimed to identify the determinants of violence among reproductive age women. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 182 married women, 15-49 years old in Sarab City, Iran, through simple random sampling in 2018. Data were collected by a self-designed questionnaire including demographic characteristics, physical, psychological, verbal, economic, and sexual violence. Then, it was analyzed using an independent samples t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson Correlation, and multivariate linear regression. Results: The prevalence of physical, psychological, sexual, economic and verbal violence in women was 11 (6%), 14(7.7%), 18(9.9%), 24(13.2%), and 37(20.3%), respectively. Husband's older age and husband's older age of marriage increased (B=0.14, 95% CI= 0.00 to 0.28) and decreased (B= -1.17, CI= -0.27 to -0.06) verbal violence against women. Illiteracy in spouses reduced physical violence (B=-2.43, CI= -4.58 to -0.27) and sexual violence (B= -1.62, CI= -3.08 to -0.16) and in women, it reduced psychological violence (B=-2.63, CI= -4.81 to -0.45). Spousal smoking reduced physical (B= -0.97, CI= -1.78 to -0.17), psychological (B= -1.17, CI= -2.01 to -0.33), and verbal (B= -1.22, CI= - 1.96 to -0.48) violence; however, women's alcoholism (B= 7.31, CI= 0.27 to 4.43) and having children from a previous marriage of the woman (B= 0.06, CI=0.04 to 1.16) increased physical violence. The highest economic violence was seen in female employees (B= 1.31, CI=0.35 to 2.27). Psychological (B= -4.92, CI= -7.89 to -1.49) and sexual (B= -2.16, CI= - 4.09 to -0.22) violence was less experienced in men's second marriage. Conclusion: Considering the high prevalence of verbal violence and related factors, conducting the necessary screenings to recognize it in time, teaching communication skills and anger management to husbands seems essential.  </div> Violence, Risk Factors, Determinant, Women, Fertility, Reproductive 1 13 http://jhs.mazums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-873-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Safieh Kananikandeh صفیه کنعانی کنده kanani.safieh@yahoo.com 10031947532846008562 10031947532846008562 No Social Determinants of Health Research Center, Health Management and Safety Promotion Research Institute, Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Tabriz, Iran مرکز تحقیقات عوامل اجتماعی سلامت، پژوهشکده مدیریت سلامت و ارتقای ایمنی، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی تبریز، تبریز، ایران Mojgan Mirghafourvand مژگان میرغفوروند mirghafourvand@gmail.com 10031947532846008563 10031947532846008563 Yes Social Determinants of Health Research Center, Health Management and Safety Promotion Research Institute, Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Tabriz, Iran مرکز تحقیقات عوامل اجتماعی سلامت، پژوهشکده مدیریت سلامت و ارتقای ایمنی، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی تبریز، تبریز، ایران
