“…Numerous studies have also documented the physical and mental health toll that IPV takes upon victims of IPV (Devries et al, 2011; Dichter, Cerulli, & Bossarte, 2011; Fisher, Zink, & Regan, 2011; Rhodes et al, 2009). These health consequences range from medical morbidities, such as increased risk for poor sexual health (Humphreys, 2011), gastrointestinal-related discomfort and disease, as well as increased pain and pharmaceutical prescription use (Bonomi, Anderson, Rivara, & Thompson, 2009; Cerulli, Edwardson, Duda, Conner, & Caine, 2010). IPV can also cause or exacerbate mental health burden, including but not limited to depression (Flicker, Cerulli, Swogger, Cort, & Talbot, 2011) and PTSD (Dutton, 2009; Campbell et al, 1997).…”

Traditionally, professionals working with intimate partner violence (IPV) survivors view a victim through a disciplinary lens, examining health and safety in isolation. Using focus groups with survivors, this study explored the need to address IPV consequences with an integrated model and begin to understand the interconnectedness between violence, health, and safety. Focus group findings revealed that the inscription of pain on the body serves as a reminder of abuse, in turn triggering emotional and psychological pain and disrupting social relationships. In many cases, the physical abuse had stopped but the abuser was relentless by reminding and retraumatizing the victim repeatedly through shared parenting, prolonged court cases, etc. This increased participants’ exhaustion and frustration, making the act of daily living overwhelming.

“…Similar to our findings, women expressed concerns that the abuse had negatively affected their children, and this concern subsequently influenced their attempts to prevent abuse as well as their responses to violence when it occurred. Additionally, other qualitative researchers found that a woman's perception that the violence affects or threatens her children, including those unborn, can be an impetus for change in an attempt to protect them (Bhandari, Bullock, Anderson, Danis, & Sharps, 2011;Chang et al, 2010;Humphreys, 2011).…”

Objective To explore the perceptions of pregnant women on the experience of intimate partner violence (IPV) as it affects maternal and fetal health. Design Secondary qualitative content analysis. Setting Individual interviews conducted within three urban obstetric and gynecologic clinics Participants Our sample included a subset of eight pregnant women experiencing IPV during the current pregnancy. Participants were selected from a larger parent study that included qualitative data from 13 women. Methods We analyzed in-depth individual interview transcripts in which participants discussed how they perceived IPV to affect their health as well as the health of their unborn children. Constant comparative techniques and conventional content analysis methodology were used in analysis. Results Three themes emerged to illustrate mothers’ perceptions of how IPV influenced maternal and fetal outcomes: protection, fetal awareness, and fetal well-being. Conclusions This analysis provides important insights into concerns that pregnant women experiencing IPV shared about maternal attachment and fetal well-being. Health care providers can use these findings to better assess the physical and psychological concerns of pregnant women experiencing IPV. Further research is needed to better understand how IPV contributes to adverse neonatal outcomes, particularly from a biological perspective.

“…We did not examine the incidence of intimate partner violence in the present study. Women who experience intimate partner violence are at risk for STIs [25]. Additional studies are needed to investigate whether intimate partner violence could affect the initiation of PNC or the incidence of STIs in the metropolitan area of Tokyo.…”

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to investigate the individual characteristics and perinatal outcomes of women who initiate prenatal care late in their pregnancy in the Tokyo metropolitan area. Methods. Retrospective study. The study enrolled all women at our hospital who initiated prenatal care after 22 weeks of gestation (late attenders) and control women who initiated prenatal care prior to 11 weeks of gestation participated in the study at the National Center for Global Health and Medicine between January 1, 2007 and June 30, 2011. We compared the maternal characteristics and perinatal outcomes of late attenders with those of the control group. Results. A total of 121 late attenders and 1,787 controls were enrolled. Late attenders had a higher incidence of unmarried compared with the control group (P < 0.01). There were no differences in the incidence of preterm delivery and low birth weight; however, babies of the late attenders had a higher incidence of admission to the neonatal intensive care unit compared with the control group (P < 0.01). Conclusions. Our results indicate that there is a pressing need for further steps to promote the importance of receiving prenatal care during pregnancy.
