The purpose of this study is to examine rates of domestic abuse, abuse during pregnancy and the health effects of abuse among Native American women. This study is a combined retrospective-prospective exploratory study that examines individual and cumulative physical, sexual and emotional abuses experienced during childhood and adulthood. Thirty pregnant Native American women from one urban clinic participated in the study. Data collection included prenatal and postpartum chart reviews as well as personal interviews. The majority of study participants (90%) reported having experienced some type of abuse, including childhood abuse (physical: 27%; sexual: 40%; either: 47%), sexual abuse as adults (40%; 17% current partner), abuse by an intimate partner (87%; 70% current partner), battering during pregnancy (57%; 33% current pregnancy). Seventy percent of participants had experienced multiple abuses. An Abuse Events variable was created to examine the effects of cumulative abuses. Significant relationships were found between increased abuse events and chemical dependency, depression, increased preterm birth/low birth weight (PTB/LBW) risk scores and child abuse. Significant relationships were found between current abuse and decreased birth weight and inadequate prenatal care; between childhood abuse and chemical dependency; and between battering during pregnancy and increased Index of Spouse Abuse scores. Perceived cultural acceptance of violence against women was significantly related to current abuse, battering during pregnancy and increased abuse events. Other relationships of clinical, but not statistical significance were found between various types of abuse and inadequate weight gain, sexually transmitted diseases and substance use during pregnancy, suicide attempts, depression, PTB/LBW and miscarriage. The results of this study indicate that Native American women may be a population at great risk of abuse and health problems including substance abuse, suicide and pregnancy complications. Overall rates of abuse and health problems and risks are interpreted using a model of abuse and dysfunction that includes an historical analysis of Native cultures and the intergenerational Post Traumatic Stress Disorder caused by historical and current abuses of Native American peoples. Culturally specific nursing interventions are discussed. Further research to examine culturally specific forms of abuse and to expand the current study are recommended.
