Abstract

Introduction: Domestic violence is highly prevalent during pregnancy and affects both the mother and fetus. Problem-solving training showed to be useful in controlling different crises of life including anger and aggression. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of group counseling based on problem-solving on experiencing domestic violence among pregnant women. Methods: This study is a clinical trial which was conducted on eighty pregnant women referred to Buin Zahra urban centers in 2019. The individuals were randomly divided into intervention (n = 40) and control (n = 40) groups. Six 45-min sessions for five groups of eight people were implemented for the intervention group. The violence was examined before, immediately, and 3 months after the intervention using the Revised Conflict Tactics Scale instrument. Sociodemographics and obstetrics characteristics were compared using Chi-square. Data were analyzed using repeated-measures analysis of variance at a significance level of < 0.05. Results: The baseline characteristics were homogeneous between the two groups. After intervention, the mean score of violence decreased statistically significantly for the intervention group versus control group immediately after (159.28 vs. 190.98, P < 0.001) and 3 months after the intervention (117.85 vs. 198.9, P < 0.001). Conclusion: Group counseling based on problem-solving is effective on the level of domestic violence among pregnant women. Therefore, using this method of counseling during pregnancy can be associated with positive results in reducing domestic violence.
以解决问题为基础的团体咨询对孕妇遭遇家庭暴力的有效性:临床试验
家庭暴力在怀孕期间非常普遍,对母亲和胎儿都有影响。问题解决训练在控制包括愤怒和侵略在内的各种生活危机方面很有用。因此,本研究旨在探讨以问题解决为基础的团体辅导对孕妇遭遇家暴的效果。方法:本研究是一项临床试验,于2019年在布因扎赫拉城市中心转诊的80名孕妇进行临床试验。将患者随机分为干预组(n = 40)和对照组(n = 40)。干预组分为五组,每组8人,每组6次,每次45分钟。在干预前、干预后和干预后3个月,使用修订冲突策略量表对暴力行为进行了检查。社会人口学特征和产科特征采用卡方比较。资料分析采用重复测量方差分析,显著性水平< 0.05。结果:两组患者的基线特征均一致。干预后,干预组在干预后即刻(159.28比190.98,P < 0.001)和干预后3个月(117.85比198.9,P < 0.001)的暴力平均得分均较对照组下降,有统计学意义。结论:以问题解决为基础的团体辅导对孕妇家庭暴力水平有较好的效果。因此,在怀孕期间使用这种咨询方法可以在减少家庭暴力方面取得积极成果。
