This pilot study examined the effectiveness of standard care and an empowerment intervention for abused pregnant women. Severe psychological abuse was most prevalent (42.2%) among this sample of women. Compared with women in the standard care group at the postintervention survey, women in the empowerment group were more likely to hide money (44.6% vs. 34.3%), establish a code with family or friends (19.6% vs. 16.2%), ask neighbors to call police if violence began (6.9% vs. 1.0%), had available bank account numbers (17.1% vs. 3.1%), had valuable jewelry (8.4% vs. 3.8%), and had available a hidden bag with extra clothing (9.0% vs. 3.1%). However, there was no statistically significant difference in health-related quality of life, adoption of safety behaviors, and use of community resources between women in the two groups. Simply asking pregnant women about abuse and offering referral could potentially interrupt and prevent further abuse.
本试点研究考察了标准护理和赋权干预对受虐孕妇的效果。该研究样本中，严重的心理虐待最为普遍（42.2%）。与标准护理组的女性相比，赋权组的女性更有可能藏钱（44.6% 比 34.3%）、与家人或朋友约定暗语（19.6% 比 16.2%）、在暴力开始时请邻居报警（6.9% 比 1.0%）、有银行账户号码（17.1% 比 3.1%）、有贵重珠宝（8.4% 比 3.8%）、有藏有额外衣物的手提袋（9.0% 比 3.1%）。然而，两组女性的健康相关生活质量、安全行为的采用以及社区资源的使用均无统计学显著差异。简单地询问孕妇是否遭受虐待并提供转介服务，可能会中断并预防进一步的虐待。
