Objectives: The purpose of the study was to identify factors increasing or decreasing the risk for postpartum blues. Material and methods:A total of 101 women in their first week postpartum were included in the study. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, questions concerning their medical and social status, and psychological tests (the Neo-Five Factor Personality Inventory NEO-FFI, the Mieczysław Plopa and Jan Rostowski Marriage Questionnaire, and the Berlin Social Support Scales) were used.Results: The probability of postpartum blues was detected in 16.8% of the respondents. The risk decreased with higher satisfaction with intimacy (OR = 0.81), partner similarity (OR = 0.78), and the overall satisfaction with the relationship (OR = 0.94), while higher disappointment elevated that risk (OR = 1.12). As far as social support is concerned, further independent factors included perceived available social support (OR = 0.31), perceived instrumental social support (OR = 0.24), need for support (OR = 2.74), and protective buffering support (OR = 3.41). High level of neuroticism as well as fear of childbirth increased the risk for postpartum blues (OR = 2.17 and OR = 1.30, respectively). High level of extraversion and better quality of sleep constituted protective factors (OR = 0.74 and OR = 0.60, respectively). Conclusions:Maternal disappointment with marriage/relationship, neuroticism and introversion, poor quality of sleep, fear of childbirth, and seeking social support are among the factors signaling the need for careful observation for signs of possible postpartum mood disorders both, during hospitalization and the follow-up visits.

“…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) .…”

“…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.…”

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.

The most common form of violence against the pregnant women was psychological violence (72.5%) and the rarest one was economic violence (26.7%). These percentage differences reached statistical significance (p¼.02). Moreover, the statistically significant correlation was found between experiencing violence and age (p¼.008), level of education (p¼.0001), marital status (p¼ .03) and the occupational activity of examined women (p¼.0001). Conclusions: Psychological and physical violence are the most common forms of violence used against the pregnant women. Unmarried, young women with a low level of education are the group of women who most often experience violence and due to this fact they should be taken into specialist care.
