dc.description.notesThis article presents the findings from an Australian study that looked at prenatal identification of family violence and an individualised prenatal care programme for overcoming the impact of family violence on maternal attachment to infants at 6 months of age. Assessment of domestic violence was done for each subject at the first antenatal visit. Outcomes were assessed 6 months postpartum. Of the 173 women who met the eligibility criteria, consent was gained from 150 (87%). Women who were subjected to domestic violence showed reduced attachment to their infants. Using multivariate analysis, drug use in pregnancy and domestic violence showed a significant independent effect on maternal attachment. Drug abuse and domestic violence were associated with an increase in the easy-difficult scale of infant temperament. This meant that, even with the best clinical practice in prenatal care, drug abuse and domestic violence were associated with poorer maternal attachment and assessment of infant temperament. This suggests additional interventions are needed.en
