BackgroundPatients suffering from mental illness (MI) have a higher risk of being victims of sexual abuse, yet few studies investigate the proportion of male victims in this population. This underrepresentation in research is a barrier in understanding the negative outcomes associated with sexual abuse in men. AimsWe aim to estimate the prevalence of sexual abuse in male MI patients, both for recent (past year) and lifetime abuse. MethodsIn order to model the prevalences and heterogeneity arising from reports, we use Bayesian random-effects estimation, along with additional meta-regression analyses to investigate differences in results arising from the design choices used by individual studies. We estimate separate prevalences for mixed-diagnosis samples, substance abuse samples and samples reporting specifically on intimate partner violence in MI patients.ResultsVictimisation rates were estimated to be high across all samples. Lifetime victimisation for mixed-diagnosis samples was estimated at 21%, for substance abuse samples 13%, and for mixed-diagnosis samples reporting on intimate partner violence at 5%. Past year victimisation for mixed-diagnosis samples was 4%. Considerable heterogeneity was present across all study groups, particularly so for the substance abuse sample.DiscussionSexual abuse prevalence in MI samples was found to be much higher than for men in the general population (1-7%). These results provide important implications about the proportion of undetected or untreated sexually abused men there are in clinical practice.

BackgroundInternationally, intimate partner violence (IPV) cohorts have demonstrated associations with depression and anxiety. However, this association has not yet been described in a UK population, nor has the association with serious mental illness (SMI).AimsTo explore the relationship between IPV exposure and mental illness in a UK population.MethodWe designed a retrospective cohort study whereby we matched 18 547 women exposed to IPV to 74 188 unexposed women. Outcomes of interest (anxiety, depression and SMI) were identified through clinical codes.ResultsAt baseline, 9174 (49.5%) women in the exposed group had some form of mental illness compared with 17 768 (24.0%) in the unexposed group, described as an adjusted odds ratio of 2.62 (95% CI 2.52–2.72). Excluding those with mental illness at baseline, 1254 exposed women (incidence rate 46.62 per 1000 person-years) went on to present with any type of mental illness compared with 3119 unexposed women (incidence rate 14.93 per 1000 person-years), with an aIRR of 2.77 (95% CI 2.58–2.97). Anxiety (aIRR 1.99, 95% CI 1.80–2.20), depression (aIRR 3.05, 95% CI 2.81–3.31) and SMI (aIRR 3.08, 95% CI 2.19–4.32) were all associated with exposure to IPV.ConclusionsIPV remains a significant public health issue in the UK. We have demonstrated the significant recorded mental health burden associated with IPV in primary care, at both baseline and following exposure. Clinicians must be aware of this association to reduce mental illness diagnostic delay and improve management of psychological outcomes in this group of patients.

Objective: To examine the risk of past and current experiences of intimate partner violence (IPV) in women with severe mental illness (SMI) in pregnancy. Methods: We examined past and current experiences of IPV in women with SMI in pregnancy. The data of 304 women with SMI including schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders and Bipolar Disorder meeting International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision, Australian Modification (ICD-10-AM) criteria were extracted from hospital records at King Edward Memorial Hospital, Western Australia. Comparisons were made between our study data and the Australian population data reported by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, which included data on pregnant women in Western Australia. Additional measures included reported demographics, substance use and pregnancy variables. Results: Around 48% of pregnant women with SMI had experienced IPV and were three times the risk when compared with the general pregnant population in Australia. There was no difference in rates of IPV in those women with psychotic disorders when compared with bipolar disorder. Furthermore, the rates of smoking and illicit substance use were significantly higher in pregnant women with SMI who experienced IPV compared with those who have not experienced IPV. Conclusion: These findings suggest women with SMI in pregnancy are at significantly higher risk of having experienced or experiencing IPV. In addition, IPV in pregnant women with SMI may increase the risk of smoking and illicit substance use. Together this suggests that maternity and mental health services should ensure there are both screening and support pathways for IPV that are developed and evaluated specifically for pregnant women with SMI.
