Abstract

Violencia de pareja en mujeres embarazadas en la Ciudad de MéxicoPartner violence against pregnant women in Mexico City RESUMEN OBJETIVO: Analisar los factores relacionados a la violencia de pareja en mujeres embarazadas. MÉTODOS: RESULTADOS:De las mujeres, 120 (31.1%) reportaron haber estado expuestas a la violencia psicológica y/o física, y/o sexual por parte de su pareja masculina durante el embarazo actual, el 10% reportaron violencia combinada y 21% violencia aislada. La violencia psicológica fue la más frecuentemente reportada (93% del grupo "había experimentado violencia"). Con relación a la percepción sobre la violencia no había diferencias signifi cativas entre los grupos de mujeres con y sin violencia. Solo alrededor de 20% de las mujeres tenían conocimiento sobre los lugares donde atienden a las victimas de violencia. Los factores asociados signifi cativamente a la violencia de pareja en las mujeres embarazadas fueron ser soltera (RM=3.02, IC 95%:1.17;7.83), vivir en unión libre (RM=2.22, IC 95%: 1.11;4.42), antecedentes de violencia en la infancia (RM=3.08, IC 95%:1.62;5.85), consumo de bebidas alcohólicas en la pareja (RM=1.87, IC 95%:1.02;3.42) y presencia de alteraciones emocionales (RM=4.17, IC 95%: 1.12;15.51). CONCLUSIONES:Los resultados refuerzan los hallazgos de otros estudios de que el problema de violencia en mujeres embarazadas en México sigue siendo un problema frecuente.

Prevalência E Fatores Associados À Violência Doméstica: Estudo Em Uma Maternidade De Alto Risco

“…Studies show that women without partners are more prone to domestic violence during gestation when compared to those who have it. 15,28 The apparent protective effect of the relationship would be associated with the existence of common values among the partners and the commitment to the formation and the family relationship; contrary to those in a more fragile marital situation. 29 Although schooling, economic class and paid work were not associated with any of the outcomes under study, other authors relate domestic violence during gestation to the lowest educational level of women and the unfavorable financial situation.…”

Victimization, perception of insecurity, and changes in daily routines in Mexico

“…We believe that these differences are due to two possible causes: the most visible types of crimes in different cultural contexts; and the way of measuring victimization, since many studies usually unify direct and indirect victimization, while this study only used direct victimization. Most reports, prepared in Mexico, referred to offences related to sexual abuse or violence against women both in public and private areas 4 , 6 , b , which brings us to a serious problem of visibility of violence against women in all its manifestations in Mexico.…”

Freqüência e padrão da violência por parceiro íntimo antes, durante e depois da gravidez

“…Intimate partner violence (IPV) during pregnancy and the postpartum period is considered by many authors 3,6,8,12,17 to be a serious public health problem and a complex phenomenon that may have very negative consequences for the health of the mother, fetus and child. In such cases, the violence is not just directed against the woman: there is also involvement of an unborn or newborn child, or one that is within its fi rst year of life and growing up in a situation of violence.…”

“…The prevalences of some types of IPV over the 12 months preceding pregnancy have been reported to be 10.6% in England 2 and 24.4% in Mexico, 5 becoming 3.0% and 31.1% 8 respectively, during pregnancy. In Brazil, the prevalences have been estimated as 24.7% in Recife, state of Pernambuco (northeastern), and 32.0% in the city of São Paulo (southeastern), before pregnancy, and as 30.6% and 31.8%, respectively, during pregnancy.…”
