“…According to the World Health Organization violence is the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person or a group or community, which either results in or has a high likelihood to cause injury, death, psychological harm, development disorder or deprivation. Domestic violence (DV) is a complex and common social phenomenon that takes place in the private domain: among couples or family members (Sánchez-Guzmán et al 2017). Domestic violence against women is a widespread phenomenon worldwide, affecting one out of three women aged 15 and over (La Mattina 2017) The Social Service in carrying out its function and role as the organizer of recovery of victims of domestic violence has performed its function properly, which is obliged to provide counseling to the reporting corps, then after receiving the report and providing counseling and interviewing the victim is offered whether he wants to proceed to the law or prefer to do mediation and peace if the victim prefers to take legal action then the victim will be accompanied by a social worker to report to the Semarang Police if the victim chooses peacefully then the victim will be found with a perpetrator of domestic violence to mediate.…”

“…They are also more prevalent in functional neurologic disorders and psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES). 10,11 The association between abuse and a PNES is quite strong, with some studies demonstrating that a history of sexual abuse has the highest specificity for a diagnosis of PNES. 12 However, to date, there are no studies using population-level data for evaluating the types of stressors and amount of stress WWE experience during pregnancy compared with women and others without epilepsy (WWoE).…”

Objective:To compare specific life stressors and domestic abuse that pregnant women with epilepsy (WWE) experience compared to pregnant women without epilepsy (WWoE).Methods:The Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) is an annual weighted survey of randomly sampled postpartum women administered by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). We used data from PRAMS from 2012-2020 in 13 states to assess the life stressors reported by WWE compared to WWoE. We adjusted the data for maternal age, race, ethnicity, marital status, education, and socioeconomic status (SES; using income, WIC, and Medicaid use). We also examined reported abuse in WWE compared to WWoE.Results:This study included data from 64,951 postpartum women, representing 4,072,189 women through weighted sampling. Of these, 1,140 reported having a diagnosis of epilepsy in the 3 months prior to their pregnancies (representing 81,021 WWE). WWE experienced a higher number of stressors compared to WWoE. WWE were more likely to have experienced 9 out of the 14 stressors asked in the PRAMS questionnaire: severe illness of a close family member, separation or divorce, homelessness, loss of a partner’s job, cut in work hours or pay, arguing more than usual with their partner, serving jail time, substance abuse problem in a close contact, and death of a close contact. After adjusting for demographics (age, race, and SES), epilepsy was still associated with a higher number of stressors in pregnant women. Other factors associated with stressors were younger age, Indigenous or mixed race, non-Hispanic ethnicity, lower income, and WIC or Medicaid use. Those who were married were less likely to report stressors. WWE were also more likely to report abuse before or during their pregnancies.Conclusions:While managing stress is important in both epilepsy and pregnancy, WWE experience more stressors than do WWoE. After adjusting for maternal age, race, and SES, this increase in stressors persisted. Women who were younger, with lower income, on WIC or Medicaid, or not married also were more likely to experience life stressors. Alarmingly, reported abuse was also higher in WWE compared to WWoE. Attention from clinicians and support services for WWE is needed to optimize good pregnancy outcomes.
