“…Trauma-informed care (TIC) is a comprehensive, multilevel approach that helps service providers and clients understand the impact of traumatic events on health indicators and behaviors [ 44 ]. For instance, perinatal care providers (e.g., perinatal nurses) are well-positioned to provide trauma-informed perinatal care, which could prevent or reduce the negative impact of ACEs (e.g., by decreasing the possibility of future IPV and breaking the cycle of violence) [ 45 ].…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) against pregnant women adversely impacts women’s and infants’ health. This study aims to provide longitudinal evidence regarding how pregnant women’s exposure to IPV changes over time. Additionally, we examine the risk and protective factors associated with these changes. In total, 340 pregnant women were recruited from an antenatal clinic in Hong Kong. IPV experiences and health conditions were assessed at pregnancy and at both 4 weeks and 3 years after childbirth. The women also reported adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), their family support, and perceived partner involvement. We found IPV prevalence among the study sample decreased from 22.9% before pregnancy to 13.5% during pregnancy, 14.7% at 4 weeks after childbirth, and 11.8% at 3 years after childbirth. We further found three types of IPV: 11.8% of women had a violent relationship (VR) persistently over time from pregnancy to 3 years after childbirth, 20.6% experienced decreased IPV (DVR), and 67.6% reported a nonviolent relationship (NVR) throughout the study period. VRs were associated with more severe mental health problems and higher ACEs. Family support and partner involvement may be protective factors for decreased IPV. Our present findings highlight the importance of identifying different IPV types over time to provide targeted intervention to the most vulnerable groups.

“…These results support the notion that ACEs are common and their effects are felt throughout the life course. Integrating material into nursing education about the impact of ACEs on adult health would help to ensure that nurses could translate that knowledge into practice (Gill et al, 2019). Nurses and other frontline healthcare practitioners could employ routine enquiry and motivational interviewing (Goldstein et al, 2019;Lacey & Minnis, 2020;Read et al, 2018) Nurses and other healthcare professionals can be strong advocates for their patients and need to understand the life-long impact and interdependent issues surrounding ACEs on their patients.…”

Objective To learn how adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) impacted the life course trajectory of formerly homeless and at‐risk African American women. Design Intersectionality and life course theory informed this qualitative pilot study, based on an instrumental case study design. Sample Forty previously homeless and at‐risk African American women, who were graduates from a long‐term transitional living facility in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Measurements Focus group interviews and one individual interview provided data about participants’ life experiences prior to, during, and following their time at the transitional living facility, which provided supportive wrap‐around services. Interviews were audiotaped, transcribed, and line‐by‐line thematic analysis was conducted to identify themes. Fifteen focus group participants also completed ACE questionnaires. Results Participants reported a high prevalence of multiple ACEs, and three themes were identified: childhood experiences with family conflict, childhood experiences of abuse, and negative coping mechanisms. One‐hundred percent of women had experienced at least one ACE, based on ACE questionnaire responses. Conclusions ACEs affect various parts of patient's lives as adults. For nurses and other healthcare professionals, connecting with community resources provides the opportunity to strategically approach health improvement with wrap‐around resources to improve health outcomes.
