dc.description.notesThis study, conducted in Uppsala, a Swedish university town, looks at women’s attitudes to being asked about exposure to domestic violence, during and after pregnancy. 879 women participated. The study found that 80 per cent of women found being asked by their midwife about violence to be acceptable, 12 per cent found it neither acceptable n or unacceptable, 5 per cent found it both acceptable and unacceptable and only 3 per cent found it unacceptable. Findings of this study indicate that most pregnant women, whether disclosing domestic violence or not, do not perceive questions by their midwife about domestic violence as unacceptable or disagreeable. Recommends that all midwives should screen pregnant women for exposure to domestic violence and that they should receive training about the nature of domestic violence and about referral and intervention processes.en
