Interpersonal conflict and physical violence during the childbearing year

Personal and psychosocial predictors of psychological abuse by partners during and after pregnancy: a longitudinal cohort study in a community sample

“…We also observed that the consumption of alcohol or illicit drugs by a partner or family member was significantly associated with isolated psychological IPV during the third trimester of pregnancy, and at 5 or 12 months after pregnancy. These findings corroborate the association observed in several longitudinal studies between problematic alcohol drinking and illicit drug use by a partner and the incidence of IPV (physical or psychological), and indicate that the use of alcohol or illicit drugs by a partner or a family member might be an important precipitating factor of IPV (physical or psychological). However, in contrast to previous studies, we did not find a significant association between alcohol or illicit drug use by women before or during pregnancy and isolated psychological IPV during follow‐up.…”

“…Our results indicate that the risk of isolated psychological IPV between the third trimester of pregnancy and 1 year postpartum was greater among women who felt that they had low affective support in their network. Consistent with previous longitudinal studies, instrumental support did not affect a women's experience of violence. We also did not find a relationship between other forms of support (emotional/informational) and psychological IPV.…”

Lifetime maternal experiences of abuse and risk of pre-natal depression in two demographically distinct populations in Boston

“…Most studies have estimated that 4-8% of pregnant women are abused, 29 although higher rates are generally reported from urban public clinics. 30,31 Our findings are consistent with national socioeconomic patterns: 3% of Viva and 9% of ACCESS participants reported abuse during the current pregnancy.…”

Violence and Women's Psychological Distress After Birth: An Exploratory Study in Italy

“…The few other investigators who have considered this issue also found significant associations between current violence and the woman’s mental health in the postpartum period (Leung et al, 2002; Saurel-Cubizolles et al, 1997). As in other studies (Gielen et al, 1994; Leung et al, 2002), women in our sample reported violence by both male partners and other family members. Similar to the Chinese study, we found an effect of relatives’ violence (which was exclusively psychological) on women’s mental health.…”
