Abstract (English): Objetivos. To determine the association between intimate partner violence and alexithymia in pregnant women treated at two hospitals in Cusco, 2025. Materials and methods. A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted, which included 286 pregnant women treated in the outpatient clinics of Gynecology and Obstetrics at Hospital Antonio Lorena and Hospital Regional del Cusco between February and April 2025. Direct interviews were applied using the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) and the Woman Abuse Screening Tool (WAST). Statistical analysis was performed using the generalized linear model (GLM) with Poisson distribution, logarithmic link function, and robust variance, calculating adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR). Results. 286 pregnant women were included. 71.7% presented alexithymia and 55.6% reported intimate partner violence (IPV). The study reveals that the prevalence of alexithymia was 50% higher in pregnant women with IPV (aPR: 1.50; 95% CI: 1.26–1.79; p<0.001), adjusted for origin, educational level, employment status, economic situation, number of gestations, and pregnancy planning. Conclusions. Intimate partner violence was significantly associated with a higher prevalence of alexithymia in pregnant women treated at two hospitals in Cusco. Pregnant women exposed to violence showed a 50% higher prevalence of alexithymia, even after adjusting for sociodemographic and obstetric variables. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): Objetivos. Determinar la asociación entre la violencia de pareja íntima y la alexitimia en gestantes atendidas en dos hospitales del Cusco, 2025. Materiales y métodos. Se realizó un estudio transversal analítico, donde se incluyeron 286 gestantes atendidas en los consultorios externos de Ginecología y Obstetricia del Hospital Antonio Lorena y el Hospital Regional del Cusco entre febrero y abril del 2025. Se aplicaron entrevistas directas utilizando la Escala de Alexitimia de Toronto (TAS-20) y el Woman Abuse Screening Tool (WAST). El análisis estadístico se realizó mediante el uso del modelo lineal generalizado (GLM) con distribución de Poisson, función de enlace logarítmico y varianza robusta, calculando razones de prevalencia ajustadas (RPa). Resultados. Se incluyeron 286 gestantes. El 71,7% presentó alexitimia y el 55,6% reportó violencia de pareja íntima (VPI). El estudio revela que la prevalencia de alexitimia fue 50% mayor en gestantes con VPI (RPa: 1,50; IC 95%: 1,26–1,79; p<0,001), ajustado por procedencia, grado de instrucción, situación laboral, situación económica, numero de gestaciones y la planificación del embarazo. Conclusiones. La violencia de pareja intima se asoció significativamente con una mayor prevalencia de alexitimia en gestantes atendidas en dos hospitales del Cusco. Las gestantes expuestas a violencia presentaron una prevalencia 50% mayor de alexitimia, incluso después del ajuste por variables sociodemográficas y obstétricas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
