N2  - OBJECTIVE: To assess the incidence and predictors of intimate partner violence (IPV)  during pregnancy amidst the COVID19 pandemic. <br><br>METHODS: This cross-sectional study  was conducted at the antenatal care clinic of Saint Paul's Hospital Millennium  Medical College (SPHMMC), Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, among pregnant women from August 31  to November 2, 2020. participants were interviewed using Open Data Kit. Logistic  regression was used to assess predictors. <br><br>RESULTS: Among the 464 pregnant women, 33  (7.1%) reported IPV during pregnancy, and among these 24 (72.7%) reported emotional  violence, 16 (48.5%) reported sexual violence and 10 (30.3%) reported physical  violence. Among the study participants, only 8 (1.7%) were screened for IPV. IPV was  reported 3.27 times as much among women who reported their partner chew "Khat"  compared to those women whose partner do not (AOR 3.27; 95% C.I 1.45-7.38), and 1.52  times as much among women who reported that their partner drink alcohol compared to  those women whose partner do not (AOR 1.52; 95% C.I 1.01-2.28). <br><br>CONCLUSION: Very few  women were screened for IPV. Partners drinking alcohol and chewing Khat are  significantly positively associated with IPV during pregnancy. IPV screening should  be included in the national management protocol of obstetric cases of Ethiopia.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
