Little is known about factors associated with health care screening of intimate partner violence (IPV) for Latinas during pregnancy. This study builds on current research examining IPV-associated outcomes among Latinas by analyzing 210 pregnant Latina responses to a patient survey. A multivariate logistic regression model examined factors associated with being screened for IPV. One-third of pregnant women reported being screened for IPV. Factors related to being screened for IPV are reported and did not match those associated with having experienced IPV. While most pregnant Latinas were not screened for IPV, having systematic processes in place for IPV screening and fostering good patient-provider communication may facilitate identification of IPV. Having a greater awareness of the risk factors associated with IPV may also provide cues for clinicians to better address the issue of IPV.
对于孕期拉丁裔女性遭受亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)时进行医疗保健筛查的相关因素,我们知之甚少。本研究基于当前对拉丁裔女性中与IPV相关结局的研究,通过分析210名怀孕拉丁裔女性对患者调查问卷的回答展开。一个多变量逻辑回归模型研究了与IPV筛查相关的因素。三分之一的孕妇报告称接受了IPV筛查。报告了与IPV筛查相关的因素,这些因素与经历过IPV的相关因素并不匹配。虽然大多数怀孕的拉丁裔女性没有接受IPV筛查,但建立IPV筛查的系统流程并促进良好的医患沟通可能有助于识别IPV。对与IPV相关的风险因素有更高的认识,也可能为临床医生更好地解决IPV问题提供线索。
