This longitudinal retrospective study of mistreatment, abuse, and gender-based violence during childbirth uses two population representative samples of Mexican women to analyze the incidence of obstetric violence in Mexico from 2011 to 2021. Our assessment is that there are more continuities than changes in the phenomenon and our study does not find evidence to support the claims of increases in obstetric violence during the 2020-2021 COVID-19 pandemic. Conceptually it differentiates between acts of violence, disrespect, and abuse, based on socially constructed gender differences (gender-based violence), and those more generally related to medical authoritarianism and the biomedical model that confers medical professionals a more powerful and higher status relative to that of their patients.
这项关于分娩期间虐待、侵害及性别暴力的纵向回顾性研究,使用了两个具有墨西哥女性人口代表性的样本,来分析2011年至2021年墨西哥产科暴力的发生率。我们的评估是,这一现象的连续性多于变化,并且我们的研究没有找到证据支持关于2020 - 2021年新冠疫情期间产科暴力增加的说法。从概念上讲,它基于社会建构的性别差异(性别暴力),区分了暴力、不尊重和虐待行为,以及那些更普遍与医疗专制主义和生物医学模式相关的行为,在这种模式下,医学专业人员相对于患者拥有更强大和更高的地位。
