Abstract

A partner's reproductive coercion and abuse (RCA) can significantly undermine women's physical health and psychological wellbeing. Yet little research has explored how RCA affects experiences of mothering and relationships with children. Based on an analysis of interviews with 30 Australian mothers, we found that RCA affected mothering in complex ways. Many struggled with feeling detached, resentful, and guilty toward their children, while some found mothering an emotionally and morally restorative experience after the RCA. All felt compelled to conceal their abuse from their children and others. The findings have implications for how healthcare practitioners can support mothers in the aftermath of RCA.

生育胁迫和虐待后的母性。

伴侣的生殖胁迫和虐待（RCA）会严重损害妇女的身体健康和心理健康。然而，很少有研究探讨 RCA 如何影响母亲的体验以及与子女的关系。根据对 30 位澳大利亚母亲的访谈分析，我们发现 RCA 以复杂的方式影响着母亲的角色。许多人挣扎于对子女的疏离、怨恨和愧疚感，而有些人则发现，在遭受 RCA 后，做母亲是一种情感和道德上的修复体验。所有人都感到不得不向子女和他人隐瞒自己遭受虐待的事实。研究结果对医疗从业人员如何在 RCA 事件后为母亲提供支持具有启示意义。
