Abstract

Intimate partner violence (IPV) has a destructive impact on the life of women all around the world. Several studies have reported reducing IPV after interventions. This study aimed to review interventional studies to reduce IPV in women. This review utilized the Cochrane collaboration method to search Magiran, Scientific Information Database, Iran Medex, PubMed, Science Direct, Web of Science, Scopus, and PsycINFO databases from the time to create each database to November 2019. All studies were assessed independently by two independent reviewers using the Cochrane collaboration risk-of-bias tool. A total of 24,685 records were recognized and reviewed. Finally, 20 studies met the inclusion criteria and entered into the study. Most of the studies had used the individual level of the socioecological model and the secondary prevention strategies. Seven studies had utilized models and theories. Out of 20 studies, 5 studies reported significant changes; 3 studies had no achievement in outcomes; and 2 studies reported a significant change in some consequences. The effectiveness of interventions for changing outcomes was varied. There is a gap in detecting items that reduce IPV in women. Further research is needed to recognize the role of other subjects in IPV interventions, determine the effectiveness of well-designed studies with low risk of bias, and detect strategic outcomes.
