Abstract: (551 Views)
Background and Objectives: Domestic violence during pregnancy poses a serious threat to the physical, mental, and emotional health of both the mother and the fetus. Ultimately, it also jeopardizes the overall health and structure of society. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of determining the relationship between domestic violence during pregnancy and neonatal outcomes in pregnant women residing in Rafsanjan City.
Materials and Methods: In this case-control study, data collection was performed through a three-part questionnaire, which included demographic information, domestic violence experiences, and infant outcomes. The sample size for the case group (comprising individuals with at least one neonatal outcome) was determined to be 20 people. To achieve this number, interviews were conducted with 211 pregnant women who visited Niknafs Maternity Hospital in Rafsanjan during 2019 and 2020. For each case subject, three individuals without any neonatal outcomes matched in terms of age and number of children, were selected as controls (60 people in total). The obtained data were analyzed using multiple logistic regression.
Results: Out of the control group, 13 individuals (21.7%) and out of the case group, 10 individuals (50%) experienced violence during pregnancy (p=0.015). The results of multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that after adjusting for the spouse's age, the odds of experiencing at least one neonatal outcome were 3.29 times higher in mothers who were subjected to violence during pregnancy compared to those who were not (p=0.036).
Conclusion: According to the current study, it can be concluded that domestic violence leads to an increase in pregnancy-related consequences and complications. Consequently, it is crucial to implement intervention programs and raise awareness to address this issue effectively.
Key words: Domestic violence, Neonatal outcomes, Pregnancy
Funding: This study did not have any funds.
Conflict of interest: None declared.
Ethical Considerations (Code of Ethics): The Ethics Committee of Rafsanjan University of Medical Sciences approved the study (IR.RUMS.REC.1398.163).
