The (PMEP) is a brief, group intervention for pregnant women who have experienced intimate partner violence (IPV). This study was a quasirandomized trial of the effects of PMEP on parenting. Participants were 137 pregnant women exposed to IPV in the past year; 82 received PMEP and 55 were in a no-treatment control condition. Participants completed four assessments (pretest [T1], posttest [T2], 3-month postpartum[T3], and 12-month postpartum [T4]). At T1-T4, women self-reported on their parenting attitudes (i.e., expectations of children, parental empathy, corporal punishment, parent-child family roles) and parenting confidence. At the postpartum assessments, mother-infant dyads participated in a videorecorded free play session that was coded for warm-sensitive parenting. Results showed that women who received PMEP had more appropriate expectations of children (β = 0.51, 95% CI [0.03, 0.99], = 0.53, 95% CI [0.31, 1.02]) and higher empathy toward children (β = 0.64, 95% CI [0.05, 1.23], = 0.53, 95% CI [0.04, 1.02]) at T2, as compared to women in the control group. Women who received PMEP also showed more warm-sensitive parenting at T4 (Wald χ² = 4.01, = .045; ² = 5.58%, = 0.41, 95% CI [0.07, 0.88]) as compared to women in the control group. No differences emerged on corporal punishment, parent-child family roles, postpartum empathy and expectations of children, parenting confidence, or 3-month postpartum parenting behaviors. Thus, results were mixed, with some short-term positive effects and other benefits emerging only at 1-year postpartum. Findings highlight the potential clinical utility of brief interventions for pregnant, IPV-exposed women. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).
（PMEP）是一种针对经历过亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）的孕妇的简短、小组干预措施。本研究是一项针对 PMEP 对育儿影响的准随机试验。参与者为 137 名过去一年中曾遭受 IPV 的孕妇；82 人接受了 PMEP，55 人处于无治疗对照组。参与者完成了四次评估（前测 [T1]、后测 [T2]、产后 3 个月 [T3]和产后 12 个月 [T4]）。在 T1-T4，女性自我报告了她们的育儿态度（即对孩子的期望、父母同理心、体罚、亲子家庭角色）和育儿信心。在产后评估中，母婴二人组参与了录像记录的自由游戏会议，该会议对温暖敏感的育儿方式进行了编码。结果表明，接受 PMEP 的女性对孩子的期望更恰当（β=0.51，95%CI [0.03，0.99]，=0.53，95%CI [0.31，1.02]），对孩子的同理心更高（β=0.64，95%CI [0.05，1.23]，=0.53，95%CI [0.04，1.02]），与对照组女性相比，在 T2 时。与对照组女性相比，接受 PMEP 的女性在 T4 时表现出更多的温暖敏感育儿方式（Wald χ²=4.01，=0.045；²=5.58%，=0.41，95%CI [0.07，0.88]）。在体罚、亲子家庭角色、产后同理心和对孩子的期望、育儿信心或产后 3 个月的育儿行为方面没有差异。因此，结果喜忧参半，有些短期效果是积极的，而其他好处仅在产后 1 年出现。研究结果强调了针对经历过亲密伴侣暴力的孕妇的简短干预措施的潜在临床应用。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
