“…Despite the evidence frequently associated with physical violence during pregnancy, this relationship is not a consensus in recent literature. An investigation performed almost two decades ago in Norway did not show a positive correlation, but more recent studies developed in Vietnam (3) , East Timor (25) and the South region of Brazil (26) reported this association. Different methodologies and the level of economic and sociocultural development of the countries where research is performed can contribute to making this association questionable.…”

“…In Brazil, a recent prospective cohort study showed a prevalence of 9.3% in the Northeast region and 25.6% (9) in São Paulo (6) . In both periods and in all the studies, the most frequent violence category was the psychological one, followed by physical and sexual (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9) . Violence, in all its forms, implies several consequences to maternal and neonatal health.…”

“…The most common type of abuse, carried out by an intimate partner (intimate partner violence or IPV) (1) , is present in every period of women's lives, including pregnancy and postpartum, and may cause severe consequences to the health of mothers and people who depend on them (2) . Recent studies performed in Vietnam and Japan identified that the prevalence of IPV during pregnancy was 35.4% and 20.7%, respectively (3)(4) . In an investigation with 232 pregnant women in a public maternity hospital in the countryside of the state of São Paulo, Brazil, 15.5% of the participants reported suffering IPV during pregnancy (5) .…”

Objective: To identify the profi le and assess the self-esteem of postpartum women, to characterize their babies and partners, and to verify the association of these characteristics with the occurrence of intimate partner violence (IPV). Method: Crosssectional study with 207 postpartum women assisted in a public clinic. Results: There was no statistic correlation among the sociodemographic variables, personal and obstetric characteristics with the occurrence of IPV. The postpartum women who showed low self-esteem presented a higher exposure risk to IPV (p<0.01; OR=2.01 and CI 95% [1.40-2.87]). The mothers of the babies that were born with low weight (less than 2,500 g) had almost twice the chances of suffering violence (p<0.05; OR=1.74 and CI 95% [1.00-3.03]). The women whose partners did not consume alcohol presented a lower probability to be exposed to IPV (p<0.05; OR=0.182 and CI 95% [0.03-0.93]). Conclusion: Women's low self-esteem, babies' inappropriate weight and consumption of alcohol by partners were correlated to the occurrence of IPV.

RESUMO Objetivo: Identifi car o perfi l e a autoestima de puérperas, bem como as características de seus bebês e companheiros e, verifi car suas associações com a ocorrência de Violência por Parceiro Íntimo (VPI). Método: Estudo transversal, com 207 puérperas acompanhadas em um ambulatório público. Resultados: Não houve associação estatística entre as variáveis sociodemografi cas, características pessoais e obstétricas com a ocorrência de VPI. As puérperas com baixa autoestima apresentaram maior risco de exposição à VPI (p<0,01; OR=2,01 e IC 95% [1,40-2.87]). As mães dos bebês que nasceram com o peso inadequado (2500g) apresentaram quase duas vezes mais chances de sofrerem violência (p<0,05; OR=1,74 e IC 95% [1.00-3.03]). As mulheres cujos companheiros não faziam uso de álcool apresentaram menos chances de exposição à VPI (p<0,05; OR=0,182 e IC 95% [0.03-0.93]). Conclusão: A baixa autoestima das mulheres, o peso inadequado do bebê e o uso de álcool pelo companheiro estiveram associados à ocorrência de VPI.

Background Physical, psychological and sexual intimate partner violence (IPV) has been described in the literature as different types of IPV experienced by women during pregnancy all over the world. Objectives To review and summarise systematically the empirical evidence on the links between IPV during pregnancy and the perinatal health of mothers and fetuses/neonates. Search strategy MEDLINE (Ovid), CINAHL, Embase, Nursing@ovid (Ovid) and LILACS were searched (2008–2018). Selection criteria Observational studies that examined perinatal health outcomes (i.e. pre‐term birth, low birthweight, miscarriage, perinatal death and premature rupture of membranes) in pregnant women exposed to IPV. Data collection and analysis Information on study characteristics, type of IPV measured, study design, methodological quality and outcome variable extracted. Results Fifty studies were included. Twenty‐nine analysed undifferentiated IPV (n = 25 489), 34 included physical IPV (n = 7333), 22 analysed psychological IPV (n = 7833) and 18 examined sexual IPV (n = 2388). Fifteen studies were from Asia, 12 from North America and Oceania, and 12 from Central and South America. The studies examined the association between IPV and 39 different perinatal health outcomes. The most frequent outcomes reported were pre‐term birth (50%), low birthweight (46%), miscarriage (30%), perinatal death (20%) and premature rupture of membranes (20%). A significant association with perinatal health outcomes was reported by 12 of the studies analysing undifferentiated IPV, 18 physical IPV, six psychological IPV and two sexual IPV. Conclusions The relation between IPV and perinatal health outcomes can be seen in different epidemiological designs and countries. In all, 39 different outcomes were identified and 29 were associated with IPV. Tweetable abstract A variety of poor perinatal health outcomes are associated with psychological, physical and sexual IPV.

BackgroundIntimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a significant public health problem with negative health consequences for women and their pregnancies. While social support has a protective effect against IPV and reduces health consequences of violence, its association with experiencing IPV during pregnancy remain less explored. In our study we aimed to determine the effect of social support on IPV during pregnancy among women attending antenatal care in Moshi, TanzaniaMethodsThe study was part of a prospective cohort study that assessed the impact of violence on reproductive health of 1,116 participants. Pregnant women were enrolled below 24 weeks of gestation and followed until delivery. The experiences of social support and IPV during pregnancy were assessed at the 34th week of gestation. Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the relationship between social support and IPV, with adjustment for potential confounders.ResultsThe prevalence of IPV during pregnancy was 30.3% where the majority (29.0%) experienced repeated episodes of abuse. Regarding practical social support, having no one to help financially was associated with increased odds of IPV and repeated episodes of abuse during pregnancy, AOR 3.57, (95% CI 1.85 - 6.90) and AOR 3.21, (95% CI 1.69 - 6.11) respectively. For social support in terms of communication, talking to a member of the family of origin at least monthly was associated with decreased odds of IPV and repeated episodes of IPV during pregnancy, AOR 0.46 (95% CI 0.26 - 0.82) and AOR 0.41 (95% CI 0.23 - 0.73) respectively. Perceiving that family of origin will not offer support was associated with a increased odds of IPV and repeated episodes of IPV, AOR 2.29, (95% CI 1.31 – 3.99) and AOR 2.14, (95% CI 1.23 – 3.74) respectively.ConclusionsNearly one third of women experienced IPV during pregnancy. Social support to women is associated with decreased odds of experiencing IPV during pregnancy. The family of origin plays an important role in providing social support to women who experience abuse during pregnancy; however, their true involvement in mitigating the impact of violence in the African setting needs further research.
