INTRODUCTION: Domestic violence (DV) is defined as “…any action or omission based on gender that causes death, injury, physical, sexual or psychological suffering and moral or property damage”. This type of aggression, which affects various aspects of a woman's life, has been linked to postpartum depression. METHODOLOGY: This is an integrative literature review whose objective was to verify the relationship between domestic violence and postpartum depression, through the PICo strategy. The search was performed in April 2021 in the electronic data sources MEDLINE/PubMed, Sciencedirect and Academic Google using the descriptors “domestic violence” AND “postpartum depression” and the 5-year filter. At the end, 22 articles composed this review (12 PubMed, 4 Sciencedirect, 6 Google academic). RESULTS: An association was observed between intimate partner violence and postpartum depression (PPD) in all reviewed articles. In addition, a relationship with suicidal ideations was also perceived. Psychological violence was described as the most prevalent, although physical violence is the most related to PPD. The prevalence of cases of violence found was 4.9% to 67.4%, while the prevalence of PPD was between 4.4% and 41.5%. DISCUSSION: PPD is recognized as a public health problem, with significant maternal and child morbidity and mortality, with a prevalence between 10% in high-income countries and 60% in the population of sub-Saharan Africa. The prevalence of PPD and domestic violence found corresponds to that found in world literature. Among the main consequences of PPD, the decrease in care for the newborn and maternal suicide stand out. CONCLUSION: This article concludes that greater sensitivity is needed by health professionals in tracking -domestic violence for women to receive proper care and support in order to establish intersectoral strategies that allow these women to get out of abusive situations.
