Book excerpt: "Background: Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a public health issue that is known to have deleterious health effects for pregnant women and their babies. Women who experience IPV during pregnancy are also likely to develop and exacerbate already existing mental health conditions. Experiences with IPV are thought to impact health behaviors, particularly how a mother copes or cares for her baby. The objective of this study is to explore the potential relationships between experiencing IPV (before and/or during pregnancy), maternal mental health, and health-related infant care behaviors (i.e., breastfeeding initiation, breastfeeding duration, well-child visits). Methods: Data from phases 6 (years 2009-2011), 7 (2012-2015), and 8 (2016-2018) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) were used to explore maternal experiences of IPV, mental health, and infant care behaviors. Participants included in the study responded to questions regarding experiences of IPV either before or during pregnancy. Statistical procedures used included descriptive statistics, logistic regression, and survival analysis. Results: Among the 20,363 participants who responded to IPV-related questions, 15% reported experiencing IPV before pregnancy, 20% during pregnancy, and 21% either before or during pregnancy. Most participants (85%) initiated breastfeeding, were still breastfeeding at the time of the survey (56%) and sought well-child checks (97%). On average, participants had healthful indicators for experiencing depression (mean=3.96) and lack of interest (mean=3.92). Experiencing IPV before pregnancy is highly correlated with experiencing IPV during pregnancy; of those who experienced IPV before, 90.3% experienced IPV during pregnancy. Compared to those who did not experience IPV, and controlling for relevant demographic variables, experiencing IPV was significantly associated with breastfeeding initiation (OR=1.38, 95%CI: 1.19-1.61). While experiencing IPV was significantly associated with breastfeeding duration in bivariate analysis, the relationship did not remain significant when controlling for relevant demographic variables. Similarly, experiencing IPV was significantly associated with seeking well-child check in bivariate analysis, but that significance did not remain when relevant demographic variables were added to the model. Maternal mental health was not found to mediate any of the explored relationships between experiencing IPV and infant care behaviors. Discussion: Results of this study support recommendations to perform routine screening for IPV in all women of reproductive age and highlight the importance of asking pregnant women about their history of experiencing IPV. Efforts to increase breastfeeding initiation should consider a mother’s experience with IPV and her marital status, as both could have implications on breastfeeding outcomes."--Boise State University ScholarWorks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Never before has research on newborn behavior and parent-infant interaction been fully integrated with psychoanalytic insight into parents' emotions and fantasies. This book provide a vivid glimpse of the parents' daydreams and narcissistic wishes which grow into a desire for a child, and they show how these feelings develop into important attachments to the unborn infant during pregnancy. The "power and competence" of the newborn born then challenges parental fantasies, desires, wishes and expectations, creating the beginnings of the bond between parent and child. Using the latest research, the authors clarify all the ways the infant participates in the dawning relationship and the ingredients of very early communication and interaction. They then unveil the "imaginary interactions" which lend meaning and drama to each gesture and expression. We see the baby as Tyrant, as Savior, or as the reincarnation of lost relationships. Everyone who cares for mothers and babies-pediatricians, developmental and clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, early childhood specialists, nurses and social workers-as well as interested parents, will find this book of immediate value.

Download or read book Evaluating Intimate Partner Violence During Pregnancy written by Shahida Priscilla Rice and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a widespread public health problem that not only deteriorates the quality of life for victims and witnesses, but can also prove fatal. Homicide represents the number one cause of death during pregnancy and up to a year postpartum for women in the U.S. For over 300,000 women - or up to 20% of all those pregnant - each year, pregnancy is a time of abuse, violence, and threat of murder. This research aims to conceptualize how the individual, interpersonal, and societal factors that contribute to the ongoing perpetration of intimate partner violence affects the future generation despite not being directly victimized. The aims of this dissertation address the mechanisms by which intimate partner violence and partner-related stress affects the health of a newborn and inform the field of maternal and child health of abuse’s indirect impacts. Methods: To evaluate the impact of the Violence Against Women Act since its enactment, a comparison of the reported prevalence rates of intimate partner violence for the years of 1994 and 1995 to 2010 will be conducted (Aim 1). A chi-square test and logistic regression will be used. Results from this aim will provide us with a preliminary analysis of the effect of the legislation. Aim 2 explores the risk factors for women who are victimized by violence as well as the risk factors that may predispose men to wage violence against their partners. Both individual factors as well as interpersonal strife are included. Binary logistic regression models will be used for both the model created for women as well as that of men. Aim 3 utilizes the models created in Aim 2 to evaluate if and how maternal behaviors that directly affect newborn health are impacted by IPV. Women exposed to IPV will be matched to women not exposed to IPV based on propensity scores created that integrate both individual and couple-level risk factors. The matched subjects’ maternal behaviors will then be compared via McNemar’s Chi-Square Tests. Results: Results from Aim 1 indicate that the prevalence of IPV amongst pregnant women in 1994 and 1995 compared to 2010 is statistically indistinguishable. Aim 2 demonstrated that couple-level factors are far more impactful on the occurrence of IPV than individual-level factors previously established in the literature. Aim 3 exhibits that IPV-exposed mothers are more likely to obtain adequate prenatal care, position infant for safe sleep, and bring newborns to a follow-up appointment. However, IPV exposed mothers are also less likely to ever breastfeed their newborns and far more likely to reports symptoms of postpartum depression. Conclusion: In addition to evaluating the impact of the Violence Against Women Act since its enactment, this dissertation research adds to the literature of violence and injury prevention. Not only does the study add to the research that accounts for risks for victimization, but it also makes a case for the need of a validated construct for interpersonal strife. By integrating interpersonal strife indicators, we are able to add to the holistic view of interpersonal strife and potential red flags for partner violence. As a culminating research objective, Aim 3 illuminates the impact of the experience of violence on maternal behaviors and newborn health. By externalizing the mechanisms by which the mother-infant relationship is compromised, public health professionals and clinicians alike will be able to better understand the impact of partner violence on maternal behaviors that directly affect newborn health, and therefore, design intervention and harm-reduction programs accordingly.

This book was released on 2000-11-13 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When people are victimised by violent crime, the general public assumes that the victim could have been spared if the perpetrator had been identified as potentially dangerous by mental health agents. Yet prediction of dangerousness is an inexact science and depends upon many complex factors. This book provides a thorough and clear description of research findings in order to help clinicians make sound decisions concerning their clients' dangerousness. The book covers a broad spectrum of violent behaviour as well as crucial issues such as biological factors, domestic violence, and the influence of alcohol in violent behaviour. The book is divided into the following sections: Basic Issues in Violence Research, Mental Health Issues and Dangerousness, Family Issues and Dangerousness, Individual Characteristics and Dangerousness. It will serve as an important reference book that not only covers scientific literature but provides views on future directions for research and practice in this valuable field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report documents the dynamics of violence against women in South Asia across the life cycle, from early childhood to old age. It explores the different types of violence that women may face throughout their lives, as well as the associated perpetrators (male and female), risk and protective factors for both victims and perpetrators, and interventions to address violence across all life cycle stages. The report also analyzes the societal factors that drive the primarily male — but also female — perpetrators to commit violence against women in the region. For each stage and type of violence, the report critically reviews existing research from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka, supplemented by original analysis and select literature from outside the region. Policies and programs that address violence against women and girls are analyzed in order to highlight key actors and promising interventions. Finally, the report identifies critical gaps in research, program evaluations, and interventions in order to provide strategic recommendations for policy makers, civil society, and other stakeholders working to mitigate violence against women in South Asia.

This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Intimate partner violence (IPV) during pregnancy is a devastating problem that has been reported to impact between 5.2% to 19.8% of women (Bohn, Tebben, & Campbell, 2004; Charles & Perreira, 2007; Dunn & Oths, 2004; Renker & Tonkin, 2006; Silverman, Decker, Reed, & Raj, 2006) with rates among adolescents reported to be even higher at 13% to 22% (Harner, 2004; Harrykissoon, Rickert, & Wiemann, 2002). The physical, psychological, and emotional correlates of IPV that impact both mother and baby demand attention and intervention from health care providers. The purpose of this retrospective study was to explore the process that occurred when abused pregnant adolescents left or terminated their relationships with their perpetrators and to determine what behaviors by health care workers and others were helpful in providing support to adolescents who were in the process of leaving.

Download or read book Responding to Intimate Partner Violence and Sexual Violence Against Women written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2013 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A health-care provider is likely to be the first professional contact for survivors of intimate partner violence or sexual assault. Evidence suggests that women who have been subjected to violence seek health care more often than non-abused women, even if they do not disclose the associated violence. They also identify health-care providers as the professionals they would most trust with disclosure of abuse. These guidelines are an unprecedented effort to equip healthcare providers with evidence-based guidance as to how to respond to intimate partner violence and sexual violence against women. They also provide advice for policy makers, encouraging better coordination and funding of services, and greater attention to responding to sexual violence and partner violence within training programmes for health care providers. The guidelines are based on systematic reviews of the evidence, and cover: 1. identification and clinical care for intimate partner violence 2. clinical care for sexual assault 3. training relating to intimate partner violence and sexual assault against women 4. policy and programmatic approaches to delivering services 5. mandatory reporting of intimate partner violence. The guidelines aim to raise awareness of violence against women among health-care providers and policy-makers, so that they better understand the need for an appropriate health-sector response. They provide standards that can form the basis for national guidelines, and for integrating these issues into health-care provider education.

This book was released on 2017-07-14 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together experts in the field, this important book considers the underlying risk factors that create situations of psychosocial vulnerability and marginalisation for mothers, from their baby’s conception up to a year after birth. Adopting a strengths-based approach, the book looks not only at the incidence and impact of disadvantageous circumstances on women but also explores protective factors at an individual, family, community and service level. It identifies promising evidence-based interventions and sources of resilience. With a distinctive focus on social and cultural diversity, Psychosocial Resilience and Risk in the Perinatal Period considers a wide range of personal circumstances and social groups, including women’s experiences of traumatic birth, domestic and family violence, drug and alcohol use and mothering by indigenous, same-sex and disabled women. Throughout, case studies and service user experiences are used to illuminate the issues and illustrate exemplary care practice. International in scope, this book is particularly strong on the implications for care practices and health service delivery within Western models of maternity care. Its applied focus and evidence base makes it eminently suitable for study purposes and professional reference. Of relevance to midwives, health visitors and other health and social care practitioners, Psychosocial Resilience and Risk in the Perinatal Period’s final chapters focus on developing resilience amongst professionals and multiprofessional and interagency working.

Download or read book Exploring the Influence of Maternal Social Support on the Relationship Between Parenting Stress Among Mother Survivors of Intimate Partner Violence and the Mental Health of Their Children written by Sarah Rebecca Gojer and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a pervasive public health problem that disproportionately affects women and poses an intergenerational burden when it occurs among mothers. Children of mothers who experience IPV are at increased risk for experiencing a variety of mental health problems. Parenting stress mediates the relationship between IPV among mothers and the mental health outcomes of their children. Although social support protects against the harmful effect of IPV on mental health outcomes in mother survivors of IPV, it is less understood whether social support among mothers who experience IPV also has a protective effect on the mental health of their children. The proposed study will use a cross-sectional survey to understand whether maternal social support moderates the relationship between parenting stress in mother survivors of IPV and the mental health outcomes of their children. Hypotheses will be examined using descriptive analyses, bivariate correlations, and regression analyses
