        Intimate partner violence (IPV) is not a new phenomenon nor is its consequences to women’s wellbeing. Experiencing IPV is considered a very stressful life event and women are struggling to survive the emotional, physical and sexual violence. The purpose of this study was to find out the pattern of help-seeking among women who had experienced intimate partner violence and their level of satisfaction with the received help. Furthermore, this study also explored the reasons that influenced the women’s decision either in seeking help or not seeking help. A cross-sectional study was conducted from May 2009 until May 2010 among 316 women who were experiencing IPV and seeking help from women non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in Malaysia. The women were interviewed using the translated and validated WHO Multi-country Study on Women’s Health and Life Experiences questionnaire. In addition, the data was analysed using PASW version 18 software. Furthermore, Chi-square tests were used to determine the associations between severity of violence and the help-seeking behaviour. About 56% of the women reported to have experienced a combination of physical, emotional and sexual violence in their lifetime. The majority of the abused women had told at least one person about their violent relationship. About 75.2% of the women sought help from both formal institutions and informal resources. The most commonly reported informal resources were family and friends whereas formal institutions such as the women NGOs, police and hospitals or health centres were the primary target to receive help for all types of IPV experiences. Satisfaction with the services from formal institutions was the highest with women NGOs, shelters as well as hospital/health care centres and the lowest with the police and local leaders. Women sought help when the violence was unbearable and had a severe impact on them. Women who did not seek help mentioned that the violence was normal and not serious. The results suggest that more interventions are needed to help women recognise and deal with IPV as well as strengthening the support networks available to abused women.
