Background and Aim: Domestic violence is one of the most important cases of hidden victimization influenced by different factors. This research aimed to investigate the effect of Corona as a medical crisis on the level of domestic violence.
Materials and Methods: This study was a descriptive research of the correlation type conducted on the statistical population of women in Mashhad City, the sample being 250 women in the outskirts of the city selected using the convenience sampling method. A researcher-developed questionnaire was used to get information related to the behavior of the husband when faced with different types of violence during a period of two years ─ one year before, and one year after, the corona virus outbreak. The Pearson's correlation coefficient method was used to find the semantic relationship of the variables. Results: The incidence of domestic violence has increased in the first year after the coronavirus outbreak. The highest and lowest shares of such violence were found to be related to emotional and verbal violence and sexual violence, respectively. The findings also showed a highly significant relationship between income and the increase in violence during the Corona era (P<0.01) but no statistically significant relationship between access to support services and increased violence. Finally, restricting access to gatherings was found to be the most important factor in increasing violence.
Conclusion: Based on the findings, it seems that policies related to imposing communication restrictions, home quarantine and the economic damage caused by them can be the main factors causing increased domestic violence due to coronavirus.
