“…Consequently, with the reality surrounding this problem, during the last 5 years, intensive treatments have emerged for women who experience the trauma associated with exposure to physical, psychological and sexual violence, with the aim of addressing and overcoming the effects caused physically and mentally (17,18). Many studies have shown therapeutic treatments with benefits at the cognitive, emotional and social levels in female victims; however, they have not yet demonstrated a comprehensive effectiveness among patients (19,20).…”

The number of women victims of violence has increased considerably in recent years, causing physical, mental and social damage. In this study, the efficacy of the psychotherapeutic model of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) was evaluated and compared with narrative exposure therapy (NET) as approaches for improving clinical and neuropsychological aspects and quality of life in abused women. A randomized experimental study was carried out in which 120 women exposed to physical, psychological and sexual violence participated and were assigned to an EMDR or NET group. An extensive battery of clinical, neuropsychological and quality of life tests were used pre-and posttreatment for 10 therapeutic sessions. The results indicated that the group of women exposed to physical and psychological violence who received EMDR therapy achieved a greater decrease in anxiety, depression and posttraumatic symptoms as well as an increase in quality of life, working memory, attentional capacity and processing speed. Compared with that of NET, the efficacy of EMDR was greater, mediated by sociodemographic factors. It is necessary to include protocols for comprehensive health care and psychological first aid for women who are victims of violence.

Background During the COVID-19 pandemic, pregnant women bear considerable physical and psychological stress because of their special conditions, which combined with other stress factors such as violence, makes their situation even more critical. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of domestic violence and its relationship with quality of life in pregnant women during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods This cross-sectional study was performed with the participation of 250 pregnant women in the obstetrics clinic of 29-Bahman Hospital, Tabriz city. Using a three-part questionnaire consisting of the socio-demographic and obstetrics information, the domestic violence questionnaire developed by WHO, and the SF-12 quality of life questionnaire, the required information was collected. A general linear model was then used to determine the relationship between domestic violence and quality of life, while adjusting the socio-demographic and obstetrics information. Results According to the data, more than one-third of pregnant women (35.2 %) had experienced domestic violence. The most common type of violence experienced was emotional violence (32.8 %), followed by sexual violence (12.4 %), and physical violence (4.8 %). The mean score of the physical health department of quality of life in the group of women exposed to violence (50.21) was lower compared to the unexposed group (53.45), though there was no significant difference between them (P = 0.25). However, the mean score of the mental health department of quality of life in women exposed to violence (46.27) was significantly lower compared to unexposed women (61.17) (P < 0.001). Based on the general linear model, the mean score for quality of life in the mental health dimension was significantly higher among unexposed women compared to those exposed to violence (β = 9.3, 95 %CI: 3.5 to 15.0, P = 0.002). Conclusions The findings of this study indicate a high prevalence of domestic violence and its relationship with a low quality of life during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, the findings signify the importance of screening pregnant women in terms of domestic violence in respective centers as well as the necessity of conducting proper interventions to address domestic violence to improve the quality of life in women.

“…It is well-accepted that women who had experienced IPV were at higher risk of both mental and physical impairment, as well as premature death ( 4 – 7 ). A large body of evidence has further revealed that the detrimental impact of IPV against mothers could also extend to the next generation, leading to delayed development, poorer physical health, and more psychosocial problems in their children ( 8 – 10 ).…”

BackgroundAlthough intimate partner violence (IPV) against women is a public health issue around the world, there is a lack of evidence regarding the impact of maternal IPV on preschool children’s health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the association between maternal IPV and HRQOL among Chinese preschool children, as well as the mediating role of maternal parenting styles.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted with 4,243 mother-child dyads who attended preschools. Mothers self-reported their parenting styles and experience of IPV. Children’s HRQOL was collected through mother-proxy report with the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory version 4.0 (PedsQL 4.0). Multivariate linear regression analysis was conducted to evaluate the association between maternal IPV and children’s HRQOL. Mediation models were further applied to explore the possible mediating role of maternal parenting styles.ResultsOf the included mothers, 7.4% had experience of IPV. Compared to children of mothers without any IPV exposure, those of mothers with experience of IPV had significantly lower scores in all HRQOL dimensions and summary scales. After adjustment for covariates, maternal IPV was significantly associated with children’s lower physical health summary score, psychosocial health summary score, and total scale score. Mediation analysis showed that both rejection and overprotection mediated such associations, but not for the emotional warmth.ConclusionOur findings indicated the need to screen maternal IPV supplemented with targeted interventions focusing on parenting styles, in order to mitigate the negative impact of maternal IPV on children’s HRQOL.
