Abstract

The study has been conducted to determine the factors affecting the levels of distress during pregnancy, sexual relationship power and intimate partner violence. This descriptive type study’s data have been collected from a maternity hospital providing service in the city of Konya in Turkey between the dates of November 2019-March 2020. A total of 578 pregnant women were included in this study. Personal Information Form, Spouse Violence Assessment Form, Tilburg Pregnancy Distress Scale and Sexuality Relationship Power Scale have been used as data collection tools. In the study, 16.6% of pregnant women have stated that they were sometimes exposed to emotional violence and 6.2% of them have expressed that they were exposed to physical violence for two-three times. Results showed that unplanned pregnancy was related to increased odds of distress experienced by pregnant women nearly six-fold [OR = 5.443, %95 CI (2.330-12.719)]. It was found that distress experienced by pregnant women whose spouses consumed alcohol was nearly two and a half-fold higher than those whose spouses did not consume alcohol, [OR = 2.482, %95 CI (1.269-4.855)]. According to the results of our study, it was determined that their distress levels decreased when women felt themselves as powerful on sexual relationship during their pregnancy.

摘要

该研究的目的是确定影响怀孕期间痛苦程度、性关系权力和亲密伴侣暴力的因素。这项描述性研究的数据是从 2019 年 11 月至 2020 年 3 月期间在土耳其科尼亚市提供服务的一家妇产医院收集的。这项研究总共纳入了 578 名孕妇。个人信息表、配偶暴力评估表、蒂尔堡怀孕痛苦量表和性关系权力量表已被用作数据收集工具。研究中，16.6%的孕妇表示，她们有时遭受过情感暴力，其中6.2%的孕妇表示，她们曾遭受过两到三次身体暴力。结果显示，意外怀孕与孕妇经历的痛苦几率增加近六倍相关[OR = 5.443，%95 CI (2.330-12.719)]。结果发现，配偶饮酒的孕妇所经历的痛苦比配偶不饮酒的孕妇高出近两倍半，[OR = 2.482，%95 CI (1.269-4.855)]。根据我们的研究结果，当女性在怀孕期间感觉自己在性关系上有强大的力量时，她们的痛苦程度就会降低。
