“…Other significant predictors of domestic abuse in the model included being unmarried, being aged !36 years, not being in the labor force, Hispanic ethnicity, and reporting a partner who engaged in binge drinking. 40 The smaller U.S. study yielded similar results, drawing from a convenience sample of 50 postpartum women. 41 Using the EPDS, women who had a medical chart notation of disclosure of physical or sexual abuse history (n ¼ 15) had significantly higher mean depression scores than women with no such disclosure at both 8 and 12 weeks postpartum (8 weeks: 7.2 vs. 2.8, p ¼ 0.001; 12 weeks: 8.0 vs. 3.0, p < 0.05).…”

“…In the largest study, of 1519 women who came for a postpartum visit, 112 (7.4%) reported being either emotionally or physically abused in the past 12 months by someone they knew. 40 In bivariate analyses, these women were significantly more likely than women who reported no domestic abuse to score >13 on the EPDS (10.4% vs. 8.5%, p < 0.001). EPDS scores >13 were also predictive of abuse in multivariate logistic regression analysis (OR 4.21, 95% CI 2.19-8.09).…”

Background: Although much is known about risk factors for postpartum depression (PPD), many potentially important clinical variables have still not been investigated. In this systematic literature review, we examine the published evidence for the prevalence of PPD among three populations of women commonly seen by providers of perinatal care: women who use substances, women with current or past experiences of abuse, and women with chronic illness. Methods: We searched Medline, CINAHL, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and the Cochrane Library from their start dates through to August 1, 2008, using keywords relevant to depression and each of the three target clinical populations. All published, peer-reviewed papers in English or French were included in the review if a standardized assessment of depression between 3 and 52 weeks postpartum was used and if either the prevalence of PPD in the target population or a comparison of depression scores between the target population and a control group were reported. Results: Seventeen papers were included in the review. There were high rates of PPD among substance-using women and those with current or past experiences of abuse. However, little evidence was found to suggest an increased risk for depression among women with chronic illness. Conclusions: Few eligible studies were identified for each clinical population of interest. Despite limitations of the studies reviewed, the results indicate that both substance use and current or past experiences of abuse are associated with increased risk for PPD. Targeted clinical interventions for these women may be beneficial.

The objective of this paper is to examine the association between violence and postpartum depression (PPD). The data sources of this study are: Web of Science, PubMed, Elsevier, Springer Link were examined from their start date through July1, 2011. "Violence", "domestic violence", "physical violence", "sexual violence", "domestic violence", "postpartum depression", "postnatal depression", and "puerperal depression" were some of the terms included in the purview of MeSH terms. Relevant studies from reference lists were also scanned. Studies examining the association between violence and postpartum depression have been included. A total of 679 studies were included in this screening. Essential information of these included studies was independently extracted by two raters. Newcastle-Ottawa scale was used to assess the clinical data of these research studies. Random-effects model was chosen in this meta-analysis for maintaining significant heterogeneity. Publication bias was evaluated with the help of a funnel plot. Six studies involving 3,950 participants were included in this clinical study. Violence was one of the factors responsible for PPD [OR = 3.47; 95% confidence interval (CI; 2.13-5.64)]. Significant heterogenity was found in this meta-analysis (P < 0.00001; I (2) = 79%)and publication bias was detected through a funnel plot. A sensitivity analysis of 3.00, 95%CI (2.44-3.68), p < 0.00001 indicated that our findings were robust and reliable. Our meta-analysis indicated a positive correlation between violence and PPD. In women of reproductive age, PPD induced through violence can be prevented through early identification. In addition, due to heterogeneity and wide CIs in this meta-analysis, further research is evidently required.

“…In an effort to address this problem we constructed a scale consisting of 7 questions with the answer options ranging from 0 to 4; total score obtained ranged between 0 and 28. Based on the limited available literature [1,17,47,[55][56][57][58][59][60] and after considerable debate and extensive consultations with several experts in the field, we did not consider a one-time minor psychological act as IPV and decided to use a cutoff value of 4/28 for psychological abuse. Hence, a score of 3 or lower was not considered psychological abuse to the purpose of this study.…”

Background: We aimed to investigate the impact of a referral-based intervention in a prospective cohort of women disclosing intimate partner violence (IPV) on the prevalence of violence, and associated outcomes psychosocial health, help-seeking and safety behaviour during and after pregnancy. Methods: Women seeking antenatal care in eleven Belgian hospitals were consecutively invited from June 2010 to October 2012, to participate in a single-blind randomized controlled trial (RCT) and handed a questionnaire. Participants willing to be interviewed and reporting IPV victimisation were randomised. In the Intervention Group (IG) participants received a referral card with contact details of services providing assistance and tips to increase safety behaviour. Participants in the Control Group (CG) received a "thank you" card. Follow-up data were obtained through telephone interview at an average of 10 months after receipt of the card. Results: At follow-up (n = 189), 66.7% (n = 126) of the participants reported IPV victimisation. Over the study-period, the prevalence of IPV victimisation decreased by 31.4% (P < 0.001), psychosocial health increased significantly (5.4/140, P < 0.001), 23.8% (n = 46/193) of the women sought formal help, 70.5% (n = 136/193) sought informal help, and 31.3% (n = 60/192) took at least one safety measure. We observed no statistically significant differences between the IG and CG, however. Adjusted for psychosocial health at baseline, the perceived helpfulness of the referral card seemed to be larger in the IG. Both the questionnaire and the interview were perceived to be significantly more helpful than the referral card itself (P < 0.001).
