Description
Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is the most tragic form of
gender inequality and has devastating effects on women worldwide. A
couple/family-based intervention approach has been developed and tested
to address obstacles preventing intimate partner violence.
Purpose: This review aimed to examine couple-based interventions for
secondary and tertiary intimate partner violence prevention.
Methods: The researcher searched the electronic databases ProQuest,
Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, SpringerLink, and Taylor & Francis for
relevant articles. This review includes English/Indonesian research articles
published between 2012 and 2022. This study reviewed various types of
secondary and tertiary intimate partner violence prevention interventions
and their effectiveness in reducing the incidence of intimate partner violence
against women. Risk of bias assessment was performed used A Revised
Cochrane Risk of Bias Tools for Randomized Controlled Trial (RoB 2).
Results: From the search findings, 1,819 articles were found, of which
fifteen were included in the review, comprising twelve secondary preventive
interventions and three tertiary prevention interventions make up these
fifteen articles. Couple-based interventions for secondary prevention include
gender transformative interventions, enhancing relationships with partners,
bolstering the family economy, and encouraging men’s participation in
women’s reproductive health and parenting. Cognitive-behavioral therapy
predominates interventions for tertiary prevention to eliminate risk factors.
Conclusion: This article recommends using couple-based interventions
under the population’s inherent risk factors and pays close attention to the
safety of the implementation process.
