“…The efforts of professional organizations demonstrate the widespread recognition of the problem of domestic violence. Organizations such as the American Medical Association (AMA), the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), and the American Nurses' Association (ANA), as well as governmental agencies including the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as well as the World Health Organization (WHO), have responded to the issue with public awareness campaigns, efforts to educate health care providers, national conferences, and the publication of guidelines, recommendations, and position statements (3‐9).…”

“…This finding was supported by the recent reviews that revealed a practice gap, in that no participants in the study with mental health problems were offered any mental health services Fisher et al, 2010). Without empathy, skilful support, and confidentiality from health providers, it is challenging for women with traumatic history to share their mental health concern; thus, guidance and skills training for health providers is essential to help them with empathetic listening and support for abused women (Othman et al, 2014;Swenson-Britt et al, 2001). Thus, evidence about p-IPV and mental health counselling need to be incorporated deeply and effectively into existing, standard in-service and pre-service training of midwives, nurses, doctors, and social workers.…”

Prenatal intimate partner violence (p-IPV) can harm the physical and mental health of mothers and their offspring, and the effects can persist throughout life.

Current social, economic, and political transitions can reinforce gender inequality, and also change expectations of partners within intimate relationship; this interplay has been associated with individual men’s use of violence.
