“…13,14,23,34 The scientific literature has highlighted that victimised women face compromised decision making regarding contraceptive use and family planning. 11,35,36 Our results are congruent with the literature: in both groups of women, we found a lack of joint couple decision making on contraception, but interestingly the magnitude of the effect on outcomes was higher among PP women.…”

“…Furthermore, IPV prior to or during the pregnancy is associated with adverse outcomes related to pregnancy (preterm labour, hypertension, oedema, vaginal bleeding, placental problems, premature rupture of membranes, caesarean delivery and hospitalisation not associated with delivery); 13,14 as well as to foetal development and newborn health (miscarriage, premature birth, low birth weight, abruptio placentae, chorioamnionitis, neonatal death, etc.). [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] Women who have an elective abortion (EA women) tend to be different from those who continue their pregnancy (postpartum (PP) women): they are more often poorly educated, without a job, without a stable relationship and at the extremes of what are usually considered the 'appropriate' reproductive ages in their societies (very young and older women).…”

Are There Differences in the Impact of Partner Violence on Reproductive Health Between Postpartum Women and Women Who Had an Elective Abortion?

The aim of this study was to determine if the effects of intimate partner violence (IPV) in the previous 12 months (current IPV) on newborn's health, pregnancy outcomes and couple's reproductive behaviours were different for postpartum (PP) women as compared to women who had undergone an elective abortion (EA) in Trieste (Italy). This study is part of an unmatched case-control study. The major findings are that current IPV was positively associated with previous stillbirth among both groups of women, but the association was only marginally significant. Among EA women only, current IPV was significantly associated with previous miscarriages (adjusted odds ratio, 2.41; 95 %CI, 1.13-5.14). In both groups of women, current IPV was associated with a lack of joint couple decision making about contraception; however, the magnitude of this effect was higher among PP women. This study reveals that IPV was associated with poor obstetrical history among both groups of women. But the associations of current IPV with previous EA and couple reproductive behaviours were stronger among PP women.

“…In recent years, research across the western world and increasingly in low-and middle-income countries has generated growing evidence that experiencing violence (as victim as well as perpetrator) in the perinatal period is related to risk behaviour and detrimental effects on the physical and mental health of women, men and children [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. A cohort study of women aged 18-44 years suggested that IPVv was responsible for 7.9% of the overall burden of disease, which was more prominent than other risk factors such as high blood pressure, tobacco, and obesity [29,30].…”

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).

“…Prevalence of physical IPV during pregnancy has been estimated to be between 4% and 8% 5. This is of particular concern because of the negative psychological and health consequences to mother and child (including maternal and neonatal mortality), associated with experience of IPV during the perinatal period 6, 7, 8, 9. A recent review found that odds of experiencing IPV during the perinatal period were much higher among women with symptoms of depression, anxiety, and post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in comparison with women with no psychiatric history 10.…”

Objective Prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) during pregnancy is estimated to be 4%–8%. Women with mental health difficulties are at increased risk for IPV during the perinatal period. Prevalence of IPV is high among women with eating disorders (ED); however, prevalence of IPV during the perinatal period among women with ED is unknown.Method We studied women from a population‐based cohort, the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children. Prevalence and odds of physical and emotional IPV during and after the perinatal period was investigated among women with lifetime ED, with (n = 174) or without pregnancy shape and weight concern and/or purging behaviors (n = 189), and women with no ED (n = 8723).Results Women with lifetime ED showed higher prevalence of IPV during and after the perinatal period (physical = 9.6%–14.3% and emotional = 24.1%–28.1%). Lifetime ED was associated with higher odds of physical IPV during the perinatal period (odds ratio: 2.34, 95% confidence interval: 1.11–4.93, p = .03). Lifetime ED with and without pregnancy shape and weight concerns and/or purging was associated with higher odds of IPV after the perinatal period, and higher odds of reporting emotional IPV at all time points. Associations were moderated by partner's response to pregnancy and maternal experience of childhood sexual abuse.Discussion Mothers with ED and their children may be vulnerable to negative effects due to maternal ED and IPV combined, both of which have been associated with severe and long‐lasting harmful consequences. Partner's response to pregnancy and maternal experience of childhood sexual abuse might contribute to the association between ED and IPV perinatally. © 2015 The Authors.
