3. Résumé

«Pooled data showed a low prevalence of physical DV [...] across settings, precluding the investigation of related social factors. In contrast, reported frequencies of psychological IPV [intimate partner violence] ranged from 4.6% to 28.5%, and those of psychological FV [family violence] ranged from 3.2% to 18.3%. In keeping with previously reported evidence, we found that the experience of DV was related to lack of social support and type of living arrangement […]. Psychological IPV was more common among older women and men with low levels of partner support [...], whereas psychological FV was more prevalent among those with multifamily living arrangements and/or low and middle levels of support from partners, children, and family members [...]. Women experienced more psychological violence than did men, and the effects of social factors, particularly work status and partner support, differed by gender. » (p. 496) «Psychological FV was most prevalent among women in Colombia and lest prevalent among men in Saint-Hyacinthe. More women than men experienced psychological FV in Saint-Hyacinthe (14.0% vs. 3.2%), Tirana (10.3% vs. 4.3%). and Manizales (18.3% vs. 8.3%).» (p. 495)

Intentions :
«Our aims are threefold: to estimate the prevalence of antenatal DS [depressive symptomatology] in Canada’s immigrants with respect to length of stay and region of origin, and to compare this to the prevalence in Canadian-born women; to examine the role of lack of money and social support in depression in this population; and to evaluate the interplay of length of stay and region of origin as determinants of antenatal DS.» (p. 358)

3. Résumé

According to the authors, «[this] study adds to the growing evidence that immigrant status and ethnicity are strong risk factors for DS. These factors interrelate with socio-economic status and social support, revealing a source of social inequalities in maternal and child health. In complement to the traditional way of addressing immigrant health by length of stay in the host country, inclusion of region of origin reveals a new dimension of health disparity and potential needs among pregnant women. Our results provide additional insight into the crucial role of social support in pregnant women, and its lack in immigrant women of Caribbean, Maghrebian and Sub-Saharan origin, thus identifying women who may belong to the most vulnerable groups.» (p. 362)
