Depression and anxiety symptoms among Nepali women: a dose–response analysis of emotional abuse and coercive control

SKSuman KanougiyaSRM Institute of Science and Technology

Key Points

The aim is to examine how emotional abuse and coercive control impact depression and anxiety symptoms in Nepali women.
Conducted a dose-response analysis of psychological IPV components.
Assessed mental health outcomes related to emotional abuse and coercive control.
Analyzed the interplay of male partner alcohol use with IPV effects.
Emotional abuse and coercive control significantly correlate with increased depression and anxiety symptoms.
Higher levels of male partner alcohol use exacerbate mental health issues linked to IPV.

Abstract

Psychological IPV-including emotional abuse and coercive control-has a strong, cumulative effect on women's mental health and remains underrecognized in clinical protocol and public health policies. Male partner alcohol use further amplifies this risk. Integrated IPV-mental health-alcohol interventions, grounded in syndemic and trauma-informed frameworks, are urgently needed in Nepal's primary health care systems.
