Résumé : |
Background:Domestic violence (DV) during pregnancy may have a detrimental effect on maternal and fetal health (Health Service Executive (HSE) & Institute of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (IOG) 2012). Considering this and its impact on public health, the HSE & IOG issued guidelines in 2012 recommending the introduction of routine screening of all pregnant women attending antenatal care for DV.
Methods:A qualitative approach was used. Six semi-structured interviews were conducted with midwives working in antenatal care with two midwives participating from each of the targeted areas — public, community and private care. Findings:Four main themes emerged: asking the question, a midwife's role; positive disclosure; the workplace: continuity or chaos; midwives' knowledge of DV. Conclusion:Midwives do screen for DV; however, the study identified a lack of knowledge around the guidelines and DV. For midwives to feel confident and competent in screening they must be facilitated with a robust ongoing education programme. |
