“…However, studies have shown an association between IPV and increased risk of abortion, increased risk of preterm delivery, association of violence with increased risk of stillbirth and perinatal death (22)(23)(24) . In another study, no statistically significant association between planned pregnancy and IPV, as well as a study conducted in Mexico found no association between the number of prenatal visits and the occurrence of IPV (25)(26) , agreeing with the findings of this study.…”

“…Other studies investigating neonatal results from IPV during pregnancy found no significant association with Apgar score in the first or fifth minute of newborns (25) , corroborating our findings. The occurrence of newborns with low weight at birth for gestational age and prematurity were more common among pregnant women who had experienced IPV during pregnancy (8,26,28) .…”

RESUMENEstudio observacional, descriptivo y analí-tico que buscó identificar la prevalencia de violencia del compañero íntimo (VCI) en mujeres embarazadas y clasificarla según tipo y frecuencia e identificar los resultados obstétricos y neonatales y su asociación con la ocurrencia de VCI en el embarazo actual. La recolección de datos se realizó por medio de entrevistas estructuradas y la revisión del historial médico de 232 mujeres que recibieron atención prenatal en un hospital público. El análisis se realizó con el programa estadístico SAS® 9.0. Se encontró que el 15,5% de las participantes sufrió VCI durante el embarazo, de éstas el 14,7% sufrió violencia psicológica, el 5,2% violencia física y el 0,4% violencia sexual. Las mujeres que no deseaban el embarazo tenían más probabilidades de experimentar VCI (p <0.00, OR=4,32 y IC 95% [1,77 -10,54]). No se encontró asociación estadísticamente significativa entre la VCI y las repercusiones obstétricas y neonatales. Se concluyó que, para las participantes del estudio, no hubo repercusiones negativas relacionadas con la VCI.

“…Publications in English, French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish were potentially considered for the review. Exclusion criteria were: (1) studies on sexual aggression/rape in mixed samples of children, adolescents, and adults, where it was unfeasible to separate victimization of adults, adolescents, and children (except for two studies that included pregnant women older than 13 years 21,22 ); (2) when rates of sexual aggression were presented in combination with other forms of aggression (e.g., physical and psychological), thus preventing the separate identification of rates of sexual aggression individually; and (3) studies on sexual harassment, forced marriage or cohabitation, forced abortion, genital mutilation, obligatory inspection for virginity, forced prostitution, and sex trafficking. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the latter terms fall under the broad definition of sexual violence 8 .…”

This paper conducted a critical review from a gender perspective, identifying selected studies addressing intimate partner violence against women during pregnancy. Seventy-two studies from 23 countries between 1994 and 2013 were analyzed. Intimate partner violence in pregnancy is associated with obstetric and birth complications, mental health consequences, and effects on the newborn as low birth growth. Countries with lower human development scores show higher rates of these ramifications. Socio-demographic conditions such as educational level, social status, age and marital status appear associated. While in most countries pregnancy reduces partner violence, there are exceptions suggesting that it is not necessarily a protective factor. The significance given to motherhood and pregnancy in different social groups and the level of presence of patriarchal relations may offer an explanation for this phenomenon. Psychological violence is the most frequently reported. Research must strengthen the qualitative approach. Ongoing issues in contexts where intimate partner violence increase and where physical violence prevails during pregnancy require to be studied. It is imperative to train health providers to detect and prevent intimate partner violence. It is required to consider the empowerment of women as a central axis in sexual and reproductive health.Palabras clave: domestic violence, pregnancy, sexual and reproductive health.

In the first article of the Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women, the United Nations defines violence against women as 'any act of gender-based violence that results in, or is likely to result in, physical, sexual or psychological harm or suffering to women, including threats of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or in private life' (1). INTRODUCCIÓNThe study of intimate partner violence (IPV) during pregnancy represents a field of inquiry of crucial importance because violence involves women in the course of one of the most complex processes of their existence. Violence contributes to personal injuries, affects the fetus and impacts the newborn's health.Throughout this paper, conceptual issues that expand the understanding of this phenomenon are identified with particular emphasis in the field of sexual and reproductive health. Trends and research findings are described, and models and tools that RESUMOEste trabalho realiza uma análise crítica a partir de uma perspectiva de gênero, identificando estudos s...
