“…Women who had symptoms of anxiety also reported symptoms of PTSD-HIV. Our findings were consistent with research indicating a correlation between trauma, depression, and anxiety (Martin et al, 2001;Rosen et al, 2007;Tolman & Rosen, 2001).…”

“…Consistent with the general literature on HIVinfected women with a trauma history (Martin et al, 2001;Rosen et al, 2007;Tolman & Rosen, 2001), we found depression and anxiety as two of the most commonly reported psychological symptoms in our cohort. Nearly all of the women in our sample reported depressive symptoms during the pregnancy.…”

“…Zlotnick, Warsaw, Shea, and Keller (1997) found that abused women reported more frequent and longer episodes of depression and anxiety compared to women without a history of trauma. Other evidence has suggested that low-income women may be particularly vulnerable to IPV as well as to depression, PTSD, and substance use as a result of the abuse (Martin, Mackie, Kupper, Buescher, & Moracco, 2001;Rosen et al, 2007;Tolman & Rosen, 2001). These consequences are especially serious in persons living with HIV, given that existing evidence suggests that psychiatric disorders may significantly worsen adherence to ART (Horberg et al, 2008;Mellins, Kang, Leu, Havens, & Chesney, 2003).…”

Comprehensive prenatal care for HIV-infected women in the United States involves addressing mental health needs. Retrospective quantitative data are presented from HIV-infected pregnant women (n = 45) who reported childhood sexual or physical abuse (66%), abuse in adulthood by a sexual partner (25%), and abuse during pregnancy (10%). Depression and anxiety were the most commonly reported psychological symptoms; more than half of the sample reported symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), including HIV-related PTSD (PTSD-HIV). There was a strong association between depression and PTSD as well as between anxiety and PTSD-HIV. The majority of infants received zidovudine at birth and continued the recommended regimen. All but one infant were determined to be noninfected. Women improved their CD4(+) T cell counts and HIV RNA viral loads while in prenatal care. Results support the need for targeted prenatal programs to address depression, anxiety, substance use, and trauma in HIV-infected women.

“…Estimates of rates of violent victimization in the year prior to birth, including during pregnancy, have ranged from 1% to 34% (Cokkinides & Coker, 1998; Huth-Bocks, Levendosky, & Bogat, 2002; Jasinski, 2004; Martin, Mackie, Kupper, Buescher, & Moracco, 2001; Reichenheim & Moraes, 2004; Sagrestano, Carroll, Rodriguez, & Nuwayhid, 2004). Variation in these rates is likely a result of different samples, measures, and criteria for determining whether violence has occurred (Jasinski, 2004).…”

Research on the implications of varying measurement strategies for estimating levels and correlates of intimate partner violence (IPV) has been limited. This study explored measurement and correlates of IPV using a community sample of 168 couples who were expecting their first child. In line with prior research, couple agreement regarding the presence of violence was low, and maximum reported estimates revealed substantial IPV perpetrated by both expectant mothers and fathers. Different types of IPV scores predicted unique variance in mental health problems and couple relationship distress among both the whole sample and the subsamples who perpetrated any violence. Discussion focuses on the methodological and substantive implications of these findings for the study of IPV during the transition to parenthood.

“…Although qualitative studies have suggested that pregnancy may contribute to the onset and/or the increase of IPV (Edin, Dahlgren, Lalos, & Hogberg, 2010;Hussain & Khan, 2008;Jeanjot et al, 2008;Williams & Brackley, 2009), other studies have suggested that IPV during pregnancy is a continuation of earlier violence and is likely to continue following the baby's birth (Campbell, Oliver, & Bullock, 1993;Edin et al, 2010;Heding, 2000;Martin et al, 2001).…”

Pregnancy Intimate partner violence Difficulties at delivery Mothering skills Qualitative research Palabras clave: Embarazo Violencia contra la mujer Dificultades durante el parto Habilidades maternales Estudio cualitativo A B S T R A C TIntimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant public health issue and the most common form of violence against women worldwide. Pregnancy does not protect against this phenomenon, which may cause adverse health outcomes for both the mother and the newborn. The main aim of this study was to assess the impact of IPV on women's pregnancies. Thirty-five Spanish women (mean age = 44.23 years, SD = 10.30) who had suffered IPV were interviewed and asked to explain the violent incidents that they experienced, the mothering skills that they developed toward their children, and the difficulties that they experienced at delivery. The results showed that most of the participants continued to experience psychological and physical abuse during their pregnancy, whereas a few of the participants began to experience sexual abuse. As a consequence of IPV, some mothers suffered negative obstetrical outcomes at delivery. The negative effects of IPV on the women's mothering skills were especially remarkable.La violencia contra la mujer es un problema de salud pública y la manera más común de violencia hacía la mujer a nivel mundial. El embarazo no es un factor de protección ante tal fenómeno, ya que ser víctima de violencia puede generar efectos negativos tanto en la madre como en el recién nacido. El objetivo principal de este estudio fue evaluar el impacto de la violencia en el embarazo de las mujeres. Se entrevistó a 35 mujeres (M =44.23 años, DT = 10.30) víctimas de violencia para que narraran los episodios de violencia que sufrieron durante el embarazo y las habilidades maternales que desarrollaron para con sus hijos e hijas y explicaran las posibles dificultades que padecieron durante el parto. Los resultados muestran que muchas de las participantes siguieron sufriendo violencia psicológica y física durante el embarazo, mientras que un número reducido de mujeres manifestó haber comenzado a experimentar también episodios de violencia sexual. Como consecuencia de la violencia, algunas mujeres padecieron consecuencias negativas al dar a luz. Es de destacar el impacto de la violencia en las habilidades maternales de las mujeres.

Physical Abuse of Women Before, During, and After Pregnancy

Abstract: Since well-baby care use is similar for abused and nonabused mothers, pediatric practices may be important settings for screening women for violence.
