Background. Domestic violence against women is a serious public health concern and human rights violation among pregnant mothers because of its negative effect on the life of both the mother and the fetus. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of domestic violence and associated factors among pregnant women. Methods. An institution based quantitative crosssectional study was conducted among 418 women using a systematic random sampling technique. Binary logistic regression analysis and adjusted odds ratio with 95% confidence interval were used to identify the associated factors. Results. Overall, the prevalence of domestic violence was found to be 25.4%. Of this, the prevalence of psychological, physical, and sexual violence was 24.5%, 8.1%, and 2.4%, respectively. Low educational status (AOR = 4.59, CI: 1.496, 14.070), rural residency (AOR = 5.53, CI: 2.311, 13.249), unplanned pregnancy (AOR = 4.34, CI: 2.345, 8.020), and late initiation of antenatal care (AOR = 5.41, CI: 1.493, 19.696) were factors associated with domestic violence at value < 0.05. Conclusion. Overall, more than quarter of the study participants had experienced domestic violence. Lower educational status, rural residency, unplanned pregnancy, and late initiation of antenatal care were factors associated with domestic violence. Thus, the authors suggest strengthening provision of women's reproductive health information.

“…The results of the current study corroborate those of other research carried out in developed countries, [25][26][27] in which pregnant women who were victims of intimate violence during gestation presented higher chance of having inadequate prenatal care according to the patterns established by the institutions linked with women's and children's health. Having been victim of at least one act of physical violence committed by the partner during gestation more than doubles the chance of having a low quality prenatal care.…”

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate physical intimate partner violence during gestation as an independent risk factor for low quality of prenatal care. METHODS:A cross-sectional study was carried out at three public maternity wards of the municipality of Rio de Janeiro (Southeastern Brazil). The 528 puerperal women included in the study were selected by simple random sampling from all babies born at term in 2000. Prenatal care information was collected through the pregnant woman's card and face-to-face interviews. The Kotelchuck index was employed to assess the quality of prenatal care. In order to identify violence situations, the Brazilian version of the instrument Revised Confl ict Tactics Scales was used. Non-conditional logistic regression was used to assess the effect of exposure, after controlling for confounding variables. RESULTS:Even after adjustment for socioeconomic, demographic, reproductive, and couple's lifestyle variables, physical intimate partner violence during gestation remained associated with low quality of prenatal care. Women exposed to physical violence during gestation had 2.2 times more chance of presenting inadequate prenatal care compared to those without history of physical violence. CONCLUSIONS:These fi ndings point to the need of identifying family confl ict situations since the beginning of prenatal care in order to address the issue and enable higher adherence to follow-up among victimized pregnant women. DESCRIPTORS:Pregnancy. Battered Women. Spouse Abuse. Violence Against Women. Prenatal Care. Domestic Violence.

“…The association between depressive symptoms and IPV was particularly strong when abuse occurred both before and during pregnancy and consisted of both physical or sexual abuse (Dolatian et al 2010;Gao et al 2010;Leung et al 2002;Ludermir et al 2010;Martin et al 2006;Patel et al 2002;Savarimuthu et al 2010;Thananowan and Heidrich 2008;Urquia et al 2011;Valentine et al 2011;Varma et al 2007). However, one article found that violence during pregnancy was a contributor of general anxiety but not depressive symptoms (Nasreen et al 2011).…”

The objective of this paper is to examine the association between maternal lifetime abuse and perinatal depressive symptoms. Papers included in this review were identified through electronic searches of the following databases: Pubmed Medline and Ovid, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and the Cochrane Library. Each database was searched from its start date through 1 September 2011. Keywords such as "postpartum," "perinatal," "prenatal," "depression," "violence," "child abuse," and "partner abuse" were included in the purview of MeSH terms. Studies that examined the association between maternal lifetime abuse and perinatal depression were included. A total of 545 studies were included in the initial screening. Forty-three articles met criteria for inclusion and were incorporated in this review. Quality of articles was evaluated with the Newcastle-Ottawa-Scale (NOS). This systematic review indicates a positive association between maternal lifetime abuse and depressive symptoms in the perinatal period.
