BACKGROUND: Violence against women is a major contributor to the ill health of women. It can affect women and may lead to pregnancy complications or adverse birth outcomes.
PURPOSE: To identify and outline domestic abuse amongst pregnant women, thereby providing preliminary data to justify the need for an abuse screening programme in the antenatal clinic.
METHOD: A quantitative, descriptive cross-sectional survey. Data collection was undertaken through purposive sampling of pregnant mothers and the use of questionnaires in the form of structured interviews.
FINDINGS: The overall prevalence of domestic abuse amongst pregnant women was 41%. When categorized by type of abuse, the prevalence rates were: emotional abuse, 26%; physical abuse, 17%; both physical and emotional abuse, 5%; and sexual abuse, 9%.
CONCLUSIONS: There is a high prevalence of domestic abuse amongst pregnant women and there is a need for abuse assessment screening during antenatal care for all pregnant women.
