Abstract Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a complex and emotionally charged subject that is usually considered a private matter. Apparently, both sexes can perpetrate or be victims of IPV. Globally, more women are murdered by their intimate partners compared to men. IPV is also a widespread phenomenon in Africa where the associated health challenges can be particularly serious due to fragile healthcare systems. On the global ratings, IPV remains the oldest prominent societal challenge in the sub-Saharan region, South Asia, and Latin America. Noticeably, IPV is more prevalent among military than civilian populations. The effects of IPV include physical injuries, sexually transmitted infections, pelvic inflammatory diseases, urinary tract infections, unwanted pregnancies, pregnancy complications and mental health problems. Nevertheless, there is very little understanding of the health challenges encountered by spouses of military personnel in the Zambia National Service (ZNS).
