Comparisons of means and logistic regression analyses were performed, calculating crude and adjusted odds ratios.ResultsThe study included 141 women; 44 in a situation of possible abuse required more medication during labor (p = 0.018), had less early skin contact with their newborn (p = 0.021) and more non-reassuring cardiotocography traces (p = 0.012), and reported greater pain during labor (p = 0.013). The children of the mothers in this situation had a lower mean Apgar score (p Ë 0.059), less frequently began breastfeeding early (p = 0.008), and had higher risk of low birth weight (p Ë 0.001).ConclusionThe situation of possible abuse in pregnant women may negatively affect their pregnancy, their pain and need for medication during labor, and other newborn health indicators, among other health parameters.
