The role of pregnant adolescents as perpetrators of intimate partner violence (IPV) is not well understood. Socioecological factors associated with IPV (physical assault and injury, and psychological aggression) perpetrated by pregnant adolescents and the association between IPV and attitudes toward the use of physical punishment to discipline children were examined among 246 pregnant adolescents. Pregnant adolescents were more likely to report perpetrating both physical assault (24%) and psychological aggression (52.7%) than being the recipient (12.2% and 38.6%, respectively) and having been physically injured (7%) than inflicting injury (4.1%). Risk factors for perpetrating physical assault included prior assault by partner, being African American, exposure to community violence, being in trouble with the police, and multiple lifetime drug use. IPV perpetrators had more favorable attitudes toward the use of physical punishment. Interventions should address IPV and parenting attitudes in young couples to maximize the health and safety of both mother and unborn child.
怀孕青少年作为亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)实施者的角色尚未得到充分理解。在246名怀孕青少年中,研究了与怀孕青少年实施的IPV(身体攻击和伤害以及心理攻击)相关的社会生态因素,以及IPV与对使用体罚管教孩子的态度之间的关联。怀孕青少年报告实施身体攻击(24%)和心理攻击(52.7%)的可能性高于成为受害者(分别为12.2%和38.6%),报告曾遭受身体伤害(7%)的可能性高于造成伤害(4.1%)。实施身体攻击的风险因素包括伴侣先前的攻击、非裔美国人身份、接触社区暴力、与警方有麻烦以及多次终身吸毒。IPV实施者对使用体罚持更赞同的态度。干预措施应针对年轻夫妇中的IPV和育儿态度,以最大限度地保障母亲和未出生孩子的健康与安全。
