Background Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant problem with several negative health outcomes. Disasters are linked to increased IPV, but little is known about reporting of and strategies to address IPV during the COVID-19 pandemic. This review maps the IPV reporting during the pandemic and interventions to prevent and respond to IPV in 11 Western and Southern European countries. Methods Government websites, news articles and pre-prints were searched using the terms ‘domestic violence’ or ‘violence’ in combination with ‘Covid’ or ‘Corona’. Embase, PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar were searched using the terms ‘domestic violence’ and ‘partner violence’ and ‘interventions’. Results Six countries showed an increase in domestic violence reports (Austria, Belgium, France, Ireland, Spain and UK), two countries a drop (Italy and Portugal), two countries showed no change (The Netherlands and Switzerland) and one country did not provide comparative data (Germany). Common measures to address IPV were starting a campaign (nine countries), creating online support (seven), more funding for alternative accommodation (seven) and support (eight) and use of a code word (four). Conclusions IPV reports or helpline calls in Western and Southern European countries in the first weeks of COVID-19 measures increased in six countries, remained the same in two countries and showed a decrease in two countries. While this review cannot ascertain the impact of the measures taken by the countries during the pandemic and beyond, this mapping provides a foundation for future research, and an opportunity to trace the efficacy of these strategies.

西欧和南欧国家 COVID-19 大流行期间的亲密伴侣暴力行为

背景 亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV) 是一个具有多种负面健康后果的重大问题。灾害与 IPV 的增加有关，但对于在 COVID-19 大流行期间应对 IPV 的报告和策略知之甚少。本综述绘制了大流行期间的 IPV 报告以及 11 个西欧和南欧国家预防和应对 IPV 的干预措施。方法 使用“家庭暴力”或“暴力”与“Covid”或“Corona”相结合的术语搜索政府网站、新闻文章和预印本。Embase、PubMed、Scopus 和 Google Scholar 使用“家庭暴力”、“伴侣暴力”和“干预”等术语进行搜索。结果 六个国家（奥地利、比利时、法国、爱尔兰、西班牙和英国）的家庭暴力报告增加，两个国家下降（意大利和葡萄牙），两个国家（荷兰和瑞士）没有变化，一个国家没有提供比较数据（德国）。解决 IPV 问题的常见措施包括发起运动（9 个国家）、创建在线支持（7 个）、为替代住宿（7 个）和支持（8 个）提供更多资金，以及使用密码词（4 个）。结论 在采取 COVID-19 措施的前几周，西欧和南欧国家的 IPV 报告或求助热线电话在六个国家有所增加，在两个国家保持不变，在两个国家显示下降。虽然本次审查无法确定各国在大流行期间及以后采取的措施的影响，但这种映射为未来的研究提供了基础，并有机会追踪这些策略的有效性。
