Intimate partner violence (IPV) during pregnancy is associated with perinatal health problems and postpartum psychopathology. Prenatal IPV is also detrimental to a mother's perceptions of her unborn child, which may impact early parenting skills and contribute to negative effects on infant development. This study explored factors associated with parenting confidence among IPV-exposed pregnant women.
Participants included 137 women who experienced IPV during pregnancy ( = 27.3 years; 66.9% African American/Black). Hierarchical linear regression modeling was used to examine factors that may be related to parenting confidence, with number of children and number of pregnancy complications entered in Model 1, adverse childhood experiences and IPV severity added in Model 2, and depressive symptoms and resilience added in Model 3.
All models were significant, with the final model accounting for 23.2% of the variance in parenting confidence, F(6, 130) = 6.53, < .001, ² = .23. In this model, having other children (β = .18, = .023), fewer pregnancy complications (β = -.19, = .019), and higher resilience (β = .33, < .001) were associated with higher parenting confidence.
Results suggest that intervention strategies that promote resilience and address pregnant women's health concerns may facilitate greater parenting confidence among IPV-exposed pregnant women. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved).
怀孕期间的亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）与围产期健康问题和产后精神病理学有关。产前 IPV 也会损害母亲对未出生孩子的看法，这可能会影响早期育儿技能，并导致对婴儿发育的负面影响。本研究探讨了与 IPV 暴露孕妇育儿信心相关的因素。
参与者包括 137 名在怀孕期间经历过 IPV 的女性（=27.3 岁；66.9%为非裔美国人/黑种人）。使用分层线性回归模型来检验与育儿信心相关的因素，在模型 1 中输入孩子数量和妊娠并发症数量，在模型 2 中添加童年逆境经历和 IPV 严重程度，在模型 3 中添加抑郁症状和韧性。
所有模型均具有统计学意义，最终模型解释了育儿信心的 23.2%的方差，F（6,130）=6.53，<.001，²=.23。在该模型中，有其他孩子（β=.18，p=.023）、妊娠并发症较少（β=-.19，p=.019）和韧性较高（β=.33，<.001）与育儿信心较高相关。
结果表明，促进韧性和解决孕妇健康问题的干预策略可能会促进 IPV 暴露孕妇育儿信心的增强。
