Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Obstetric violence affects over half of women in the Asia-Pacific region, with verbal abuse being most common. Protective factors include prenatal education and family support, while workplace violence and prior experience increase risk.
Area Of Science
- Obstetrics and Gynecology
- Public Health
- Sociology
Background
- Obstetric violence research is limited in the Asia-Pacific region.
- Understanding its prevalence and influencing factors is crucial.
Purpose Of The Study
- To investigate the current status of obstetric violence.
- To explore factors influencing its occurrence in the Asia-Pacific region.
Main Methods
- Utilized a modified obstetric violence questionnaire for prevalence assessment.
- Conducted face-to-face semi-structured interviews for in-depth understanding.
- Employed objective sampling for interviewee selection.
Main Results
- Prevalence of obstetric violence was 51.6%, with verbal violence being most common (82.0%).
- Protective factors included rural living, private hospitals, multiparity, family accompaniment, prenatal education, and active need expression.
- Risk factors included workplace violence and prior experience with obstetric violence.
Conclusions
- Obstetric violence is moderately common, necessitating multilevel interventions.
- Promote "Internet + Prenatal Education" in rural areas and enhance medical staff training.
- Integrate preventive measures into healthcare quality assessment systems.

Biases can arise at various stages of research, from study design and data collection to analysis and interpretation. Recognizing and addressing these biases is essential to ensure the validity and reliability of epidemiological findings.Broadly speaking, biases in epidemiology fall into three main categories: selection bias, information bias, and confounding. A more detailed description of possible biases is:
Selection Bias: This occurs when the study population is not...
Obedience to authority is classically demonstrated in a more famous series of social psychology experiments performed by Stanley Milgram. He was a social psychology professor at Yale who was influenced by the trial of Adolf Eichmann, a Nazi war criminal. Eichmann’s defense for the atrocities he committed was that he was “just following orders.”
Milgram’s Experiments
Milgram (1963) wanted to test the validity of this defense, so he designed an experiment and...
A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...
Confounding in statistical epidemiology represents a pivotal challenge, referring to the distortion in the perceived relationship between an exposure and an outcome due to the presence of a third variable, known as a confounder. This variable is associated with both the exposure and the outcome but is not a direct link in their causal chain. Its presence can lead to erroneous interpretations of the exposure's effect, either exaggerating or underestimating the true association. This...
The hosts' susceptibility to infection depends on several factors. The integrity of the skin and mucous membranes helps protect the body against microbial attacks. When the skin is altered, the chance of infection, limb loss, and even death increases.
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...
According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...
