- Abstract
Background. Domestic violence comes in various forms, such as psychological, verbal, sexual, etc., and during pregnancy it has many complications, including maternal and foetal. Objectives. This study aimed to investigate a variety of interventions performed concerning domestic violence and its dimensions in pregnant women in a systematic review. Material and methods. The databases of Scopus, PubMed, SID and Web of Science were searched for the observational and interventional studies published in Persian and English examining interventions in domestic violence cases in pregnant women. The used keywords were “Domestic violence, Intervention, Pregnancy and other areas of violence”. Unrelated and common cases were eliminated from 6,056 retrieved studies, and finally, the remaining articles consisted of 1, 6 and 11 articles concerning emotional, psychological and social interventions, respectively, along with 7 review articles. Results. Studies have shown that most interventions are related to the emotional, psychological and social domains. The principles of interpersonal psychotherapy and rehabilitation counselling were emphasised in the psychological domain. In the social domain, most of the reviewed interventions indicated that researchers’ efforts and the type of interventions were mostly based on social support, which is based on the structure and framework ranging from one’s family level to society. Social applications of increasing women’s health and safety were introduced through increasing effective interaction with healthcare providers, increasing the adoption of safety behaviours and improving providers’ ability to detect domestic violence. Conclusions. According to the reviewed studies, an integrated care system should be used that can encompass all effective factors in preventive interventions and continuous and effective care.
