- Registration Number
- NCT03397277
- Lead Sponsor
- Oslo Metropolitan University
- Brief Summary
This study investigates the effect of a video which teaches 15 safety behaviours for women subject to intimate partner violence (IPV) during pregnancy. Half of the women screening positive for IPV during pregnancy will view the intervention video. The other half will view a control video.
- Detailed Description
Intimate partner violence (IPV) poses a risk for the health of the woman during pregnancy also for the health of the unborn child. Pregnancy is time when nearly all women have regular contact with the healthcare system. Pregnancy is also a time during which women consider their situation and are open for change.
Healthcare staff have the opportunity to ask pregnant women if they experience IPV and need to know how to respond to women experiencing IPV. Healthcare staff can refer to other services. If staff are uncertain if referral is needed or wanted they can teach women how to increase their own safety and prepare for leaving through a number of safety promoting behaviours.The safety behaviours were originally developed in the USA to counsel women who attended a family violence unit and qualified for a protection order.
Women do not always disclose the true nature of their IPV to staff. However, they could still benefit from learning about safety promoting behaviours. Using a video for teaching allows for the use of pictures and sound and options for several languages.
