Abstract

The presence of COVID-19 as a global pandemic has triggered the implementation of several policies such as lockdowns to limit public interactions and controlling the spread of the virus. Meanwhile, pandemic also impacts business and jobs resulted in downsizing and reduced income, leading to increased stress on workers. Stay at home in high tension can easily trigger conflict and domestic violence. The study aims to investigate the risk factors for domestic violence reported before the COVID-19 pandemic and during the pandemic. We performed a systematic literature review on the following databases: Scopus, Science Direct, and ProQuest by using the following keywords: Risk AND Factor AND Domestic AND Violence. From 3965 articles found, we selected 33 articles matched to the inclusion criteria and eligible for review. Our analysis revealed that socioeconomic conditions and mental health are still the risk factors of domestic violence before and during the pandemic. However, no studies reported childhood experiences as a risk factor of domestic violence during the pandemic, though studies before the pandemic highlighted childhood experiences as a risk factor for domestic violence. Reports on risk factors of domestic violence during a pandemic are scarce. Future studies are needed to investigate domestic violence factors during the pandemic to develop an effective prevention program.
