Popis: Intimate partner violence (IPV) during the perinatal period is correlated with poor health outcomes for women and babies. In addition, women who experience IPV during the perinatal period frequently receive late and/or inadequate health care. Despite these issues, there remain significant gaps in what is known about the perspective of abused women regarding their health care experiences during this critical period. This manuscript presents research completed with women who experienced IPV during and immediately following pregnancy, and offers their perspectives on how nurse practitioners and other health care providers can improve care to battered women during the perinatal period.
