| dc.description.notes | This US study examines the impact of prenatal domestic violence on the mother’s and infant’s health during pregnancy and after birth. Two hundred and two women were interviewed during their last trimestre of pregnancy and two months after the birth of their newborns. Almost 34 per cent of the women reported experiencing domestic violence during the pregnancy. Battered women presented more prenatal health problems, such as threatening to miscarry, infections and sexually transmitted diseases, than non-battered women during pregnancy. Although the babies of battered women were more likely to be hospitalised and taken to extra-ordinary doctor visits, their health problems were not significantly different to that of the infants of the control group. Substance use and maternal depression were significantly related to domestic violence; however, neither variables mediated the influence of domestic violence on the health outcomes for mothers and infants. In contrast, social support had a moderating effect on the relationship between domestic violence, time of entrance into prenatal care and prenatal care visits. | en |
