“…Seven original research papers reported on the association of maternal history of CSA with postpartum depression (Robertson-Blackmore et al 2013) or depressive symptoms (Cohen et al 2002; Roberts et al 2004; Garabedian et al 2011; Plaza et al 2012; Dennis and Vigod 2013). For one study, postpartum information was obtained over email (Bonacquisti et al 2014; personal communication).…”

Purpose The objective of this review is to summarize the literature (and to the extent possible, report the magnitude and direction of the association) concerning history of CSA and depression or depressive symptoms among pregnant and postpartum women. Methods Publications were identified through literature searches of seven databases (PubMed, EMBASE, PyscINFO, CINAHL, Web of Science, BIOSIS, and Science Direct) using keywords including “child abuse,” “depression,” “pregnancy,” “prenatal,” “pregnancy,” and “postpartum”. Results The literature search yielded seven eligible studies on the prenatal period and another seven studies on the postpartum period. All, but one prenatal study observed statistically significant positive associations of CSA with depression or depressive symptoms during pregnancy. Findings on the association of CSA with postpartum depression or depressive symptoms were inconsistent; pooled unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios were 1.82 (95% CI 0.92, 3.60) and 1.20 (95% CI 0.81, 1.76). Conclusions In sum, findings suggest a positive association of history of CSA with depression and depressive symptoms in the prenatal period. Findings on the postpartum period were inconsistent. Clinical and public health implications of evidence from the available literature are discussed, as are desirable study design characteristics of future research.

“…13 In addition, IPV has been linked to chronic pain, 14 chronic fear and stress states, 15 postpartum depression, 16 substance use, 17,18 cardiovascular disease and hypertension, 19 as well as chronic inflammation 20 and accelerated telomeric attrition. 6 Clearly, the trauma of IPV thus extends well beyond the acutely abusive experience and the provision of traumainformed care to affected individuals is crucial to reducing its impact.…”

“…26 This revision was based in part on findings from studies indicating that women of reproductive age are most at risk for IPV and, clearly, reproductive coercion and that women themselves endorse universal screening. 11,16,23,27,28 In addition to the USPSTF recommendation, many professional organizations endorse IPV screening standards. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists suggests that in addition to routine screening, women presenting for obstetric care should be screened for IPV throughout pregnancy and postpartum.…”

Project Connect training aims to reduce barriers to screening for and intervening with women with histories of intimate partner violence and reproductive coercion. This study sought to assess the effectiveness of trainings, provider facility with Project Connect tools, and areas for improvement in a pilot state. Results indicated that providers found training useful, and those in supervisory roles particularly appreciated the universal tools and skill set given to participants. Providing these tools supports the provision of trauma-informed care. Areas for improvement included increased emphasis on initiating screening, enhancing training for different types of providers, and developing follow-up training.

“…Childhood sexual abuse is associated with psychiatric symptomatology and pregnancy complications and is reported in up to 37 % of perinatal women (Benedict et al 1999). Physical violence and social isolation in pregnancy also correlate with PPD (Garabedian et al 2011).…”

Little is known about the biopsychosocial determinants that predict postpartum treatment outcome for mood and anxiety disorders. Postpartum mood and anxiety symptoms and psychosocial/biological variables were recorded for 8 months of 22 women treated with antidepressants during pregnancy. Depression scores decreased by 58%, whereas anxiety scores decreased by 35%. Family history of psychiatric illness and prior psychiatric illness unrelated to pregnancy predicted depressive treatment outcome, and sexual abuse history and prior psychiatric illness unrelated to pregnancy predicted anxiety outcome. Biological and psychosocial variables predicted pharmacological treatment outcome in postpartum-depressed and anxious women.

Abstract: Adult VAW is associated with self-reported history of PPD. With an increase in the number of types of abuse experienced, this association became stronger. Our findings highlight the need for thorough VAW screening in obstetrical populations.
