“…With regard to obstetric characteristics of the participants and the association with the occurrence of IPV during pregnancy, there was a statistically significant result between the occurrence of violence and desire of pregnancy, and women who did not desire the pregnancy had 4.3 times more chances of suffering violence compared to those who desired the pregnancy, confirming the findings of other studies (13)(14) .…”

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.

Foi desenvolvido com 232 gestantes que realizaram acompanhamento pré-natal em uma maternidade pública. Os dados foram coletados por entrevista estruturada e nos prontuários e analisados com o programa SAS® 9.0. Entre as participantes, 15,5% sofreram VPI durante a gestação, sendo que 14,7% sofreram violência psicológica, 5,2%, violência física e 0,4%, violência sexual. As mulheres que não desejaram a gestação tiveram maior chance de sofrer VPI (p<0,00; OR=4,32 e IC 95% [1,77 -10,54]). Com relação às repercussões obstétricas e neonatais, não houve associação estatisticamente significativa entre as variáveis investigadas. Conclui-se que para as participantes do estudo, não houve repercussões obstétricas e neonatais negativas relacionadas à VPI na gestação.

“…62 In a quantitative study, when an unintended pregnancy occurred among less acculturated Latinas, it was associated with greater risk of physical IPV during pregnancy (unadjusted OR 2.57; 95% CI: 1.06-6.23). 60 Associations with unexplained menstrual irregularity were strongest among African American women when compared to other groups (i.e., European American, Latina, and other ethnic groups). 59 Related to the association between IPV and HIV risk, multiple studies have found that African American and Latina women with lifetime and recent experiences of IPV are more likely to report multiple sex partners, partner-related risk (i.e., having a partner who has multiple or concurrent sex partners, is HIV-infected, injects drugs, and/or has an STI), inconsistent condom use, and an STI or STI-related symptoms when compared to African American and Latina women with no experiences of IPV.…”

In the United States, intimate partner violence (IPV) against women disproportionately affects ethnic minorities. Further, disparities related to socioeconomic and foreign-born status impact the adverse physical and mental health outcomes as a result of IPV, further exacerbating these health consequences. This article reviews 36 U.S. studies on the physical (e.g., multiple injuries, disordered eating patterns), mental (e.g., depression, post-traumatic stress disorder), and sexual and reproductive health conditions (e.g., HIV/STIs, unintended pregnancy) resulting from IPV victimization among ethnic minority (i.e., Black/African American, Hispanic/Latina, Native American/Alaska Native, Asian American) women, some of whom are immigrants. Most studies either did not have a sufficient sample size of ethnic minority women or did not use adequate statistical techniques to examine differences among different racial/ethnic groups. Few studies focused on Native American/Alaska Native and immigrant ethnic minority women and many of the intra-ethnic group studies have confounded race/ethnicity with income and other social determinants of health. Nonetheless, of the available data, there is evidence of health inequities associated with both minority ethnicity and IPV. To appropriately respond to the health needs of these groups of women, it is necessary to consider social, cultural, structural, and political barriers (e.g., medical mistrust, historical racism and trauma, perceived discrimination, immigration status) to patient-provider communication and help-seeking behaviors related to IPV, which can influence health outcomes. This comprehensive approach will mitigate the racial/ethnic and socioeconomic disparities related to IPV and associated health outcomes and behaviors.

“…), which may not be as important in understanding parental beliefs as more cognitive measures of acculturation. The ARSMA-II has been used most often in studies of health behavior and has been associated with variables, such as physical activity and problem-solving in a diabetes intervention (Barrera, Toobert, Strycker, & Osuna, 2011) and the rate of unplanned pregnancy among Latina women (Martin & Garcia, 2011). Thus, it is possible that it may be a more appropriate measure in predicting behavioral outcomes, rather than more cognitive outcomes, such as etiological beliefs as in the current study.…”

ACCULTURATION, CULTURAL VALUES, AND LATINO PARENTAL BELIEFSABOUT THE ETIOLOGY OF ADHD Kathryn E. LawtonMarquette University, 2011Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most prevalent mental health disorders of childhood, but despite the availability of several evidencebased interventions, Latino children are more likely than non-minority children to have an unmet need for services related to ADHD. Because parental beliefs about the etiology of ADHD likely influence which services are sought, more research is needed to examine this aspect of help-seeking behavior in order to address the unmet need among Latino families. Specifically, research needs to focus on cultural factors that likely influence parental beliefs about the etiology of child behavior problems. Thus, the goal of the current study was to investigate the role of acculturation and cultural values of familismo, respeto, spirituality, and traditional gender roles in explaining parental etiological beliefs about ADHD in Latino parents. Participants in this study included 74 Latino parents. After watching a video portraying a Latino child exhibiting core symptoms and common functional problems associated with ADHD, parents completed a semi-structured interview that assessed etiological beliefs about the behavior of the child in the video, as well as a demographic questionnaire and measures of acculturation and cultural values. Neither Anglo orientation nor Latino orientation was significantly correlated with biopsychosocial or sociological/spiritual etiological beliefs. Additionally, none of the cultural values were significantly correlated with biopsychosocial etiological beliefs. The cultural values familismo and traditional gender roles were significantly positively correlated with sociological/spiritual beliefs. Exploratory analyses also were conducted to further examine sociological/spiritual beliefs. After controlling for SES, familismo and traditional gender roles accounted for 30.5% of the total variance in sociological/spiritual beliefs about ADHD. Finally, post hoc analyses were conducted to examine individual categories of etiological beliefs. The current study adds to our knowledge about how Latino parents understand child behavior and has important implications for both research and mental health services with Latino parents. The results support the inclusion of etiological beliefs and cultural factors in research examining help-seeking and access to mental health services among Latino families and suggest that the incorporation of alternative etiological beliefs about child behavior may be an important factor in culturally-appropriate mental health services.
