This study sought to assess the prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization and to examine the sex-stratified associations between IPV and suicidal ideation in South Korea. This study used nationally representative longitudinal survey data from 2011 to 2020 of the Korean Welfare Panel Study of 9732 married adults at baseline. Participants were annually asked about IPV experiences of verbal abuse, physical threat, or physical assault over the past year in 2011–2019. Suicidal ideation in the past year was assessed in the following year 2012–2020 of IPV experiences. Using multilevel logistic regression models, we examined the associations between IPV and suicidal ideation among married adults. The prevalence of verbal abuse, physical threat, and physical assault was respectively 19.8%, 3.0%, and 1.4% in females (n = 5056); and 18.8%, 2.7%, and 1.0% in males (n = 4676). After adjusting for potential confounders (e.g., lifetime suicidal ideation and random effects of individuals and households) in the same year when participants had IPV experiences, all types of IPV experiences were statistically associated with suicidal ideation in the following year among both females and males, except for physical threat among males. We found a statistically significant association between physical threat and suicidal ideation among females (adjusted odds ratio: 2.22, 95% confidence interval: 1.62, 3.04), whereas no association was observed among males. Our findings suggest that public health interventions related to suicidal behaviors that can be attributable to experiencing IPV are necessary among both females and males in South Korea.

韩国女性和男性成年人亲密伴侣暴力与自杀意念之间的关联：一项具有全国代表性的纵向研究

本研究旨在评估亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV) 受害的普遍性，并检查韩国 IPV 与自杀意念之间的性别分层关联。本研究使用了韩国福利小组研究 2011 年至 2020 年在基线时对 9732 名已婚成年人进行的具有全国代表性的纵向调查数据。在 2011-2019 年的过去一年中，参与者每年都会被问及 IPV 在言语虐待、身体威胁或身体攻击方面的经历。过去一年的自杀意念在接下来的 2012-2020 年的 IPV 经历中进行了评估。使用多级逻辑回归模型，我们检查了 IPV 与已婚成年人自杀意念之间的关联。女性的言语虐待、身体威胁和身体攻击的患病率分别为 19.8%、3.0% 和 1.4%。n = 5056); 男性分别为 18.8%、2.7% 和 1.0%（n= 4676）。在参与者有 IPV 经历的同一年调整了潜在的混杂因素（例如，终生自杀意念和个人和家庭的随机影响）后，所有类型的 IPV 经历在女性和男性中都与次年的自杀意念有统计学关联，除了对男性的身体威胁。我们发现女性的身体威胁和自杀意念之间存在统计学上的显着关联（调整优势比：2.22, 95% 置信区间：1.62, 3.04），而在男性中未观察到关联。我们的研究结果表明，与可归因于经历 IPV 的自杀行为相关的公共卫生干预在韩国的女性和男性中都是必要的。
