Article Abstract
Background: Experiencing intimate partner violence impacts the ongoing physical and psychological health of women and can contribute to poorer maternal and neonatal health during the perinatal period.
Methods: In a national maternity experiences cross-sectional online survey, 1198 (13.6%) women identified as experiencing IPV in their lifetime. Using quantitative descriptive statistics, the maternity and mental health measures were explored for women who had experienced IPV and had a baby in Australia between 2016 and 2021.
Results: The findings demonstrated significant differences in the sociodemographic factors, mental health history, pregnancy and birth experiences, and negative interactions with health care providers.
Discussion: The findings in this study demonstrate how previously traumatized women can leave the maternity system retraumatized and identify the need for a trauma-informed approach to maternity care.

Trauma-informed communication has shown promise in healthcare settings for supporting individuals affected by adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), yet its application in public health messaging remains underexplored. Given the strong link between ACEs and intimate partner violence victimization (IPVV), this study designed and tested a trauma-informed, text-based message aimed at promoting trauma understanding and positive behavioral intentions among women experiencing IPVV with self-reported ACEs. The message incorporated two core trauma-informed components-psychoeducation and empowerment-and was evaluated against a conventional IPVV message in a randomized controlled trial ( = 289).

Background: We aimed to describe the prevalence of exposure to traumatic events and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in pregnant women attending antenatal care (ANC) in rural Ethiopia. We hypothesised that antenatal PTSD symptoms would be associated with previous obstetric complications and intimate partner violence (IPV) and impact negatively on women´s satisfaction with ANC.
Methods: The design was a facility-based cross-sectional study in primary health centres providing ANC in southern Ethiopia.
