| Abstract: | Domestic violence victims are unlikely to make
contraception choices (1), may have unplanned
unwanted pregnancies (2), and thus resort to
abortion (1,2). Probably, many women with abortion
complications are victims. The objective is to
determine the prevalence, severity and factors
associated with domestic violence among such
women. This cross-sectional study was conducted
in the gynecological emergency ward of the national
referral hospital, Mulago, with permission
from the hospital’s Ethical Committee.
The subjects were women admitted with abortion
complications, who were selected by systematic
sampling (every third woman), between
January 5th and April 30th 2000. All women were
treated before referral to professional counselors.
They were interviewed using a structured questionnaire. |
