Abstract:

Violence against women is a major public health problem and a violation of human rights due to its prevalence and consequences. One in five women in the world are subjected to physical and/or sexual violence by their partners in their lives, and one in three women is subjected to any kind of violence. According to the report, 26-57 percent of married women have been subjected to physical or sexual violence. There are significant maternal-fetal health consequences of women's exposure to violence during pregnancy. Maternal effects are: pre-born bleeding, increased use of the substance, depression, anxiety, termination of pregnancy, pregnancy, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, high mortality and morbidity rates. The fetal effects are: premature birth, low birth weight fetus, intrauterine developmental tension, plasental anomalies, mental developmental tension, injuries and elevated neonatal mortality rates. In the health care services that women receive during pregnancy, the health staff who provides individual care, consultation, monitoring and treatment should perform a good monitoring and identify pregnancies under violence. To control the health of the mother and baby by cooperating with the necessary institutions in the detection of the case, prevention of violence is important.
