Gender-based violence in pregnant women as a risk factor for maternal and perinatal complications
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-01-17) Quevedo Tafur, Fernando Marcius; Benites Vidal, Elvira Soledad
The study had a qualitative approach, as it primarily sought to interpret the data and information found, using an observational and retrospective design, categorized as a review of publications, with the purpose of impartially synthesizing various primary research studies from reliable sources. 29 scientific articles were reviewed, and most of the results indicated that the type of violence experienced by pregnant women primarily focuses on psychological, physical, sexual, and emotional violence. The most prevalent maternal complications identified were related to depressive episodes, followed by abortion, hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, and maternal death, among others. Regarding perinatal complications, the main issues were low birth weight, prematurity, inadequate APGAR score, small for gestational age (SGA), and fetal death. It can be concluded first that there is scientific evidence demonstrating that gender-based violence in pregnant women influences maternal and perinatal complications, and second, that maternal and perinatal complications lead to disorders that culminate in psychological damage, such as depression and suicide attempts, and physical damage, such as abortion.
