| Research Abstract |
We carried out a longitudinal study for two years on women who had childbirth four months earlier. The purpose was to reveal the condition of the wife's stress and violence from her husband and analyze related factors.
Over 90% of its target population were housewives, 90% of which lived in nuclear families. Approximately 90% reported that the child had no health problems. The findings indicate the followings :
1. Approximately 90% enjoy taking care of their children and feel fulfilled. However, roughly 80% feel tired, and about 50% claim that the child is annoying and irritating.
2. The GHQ result reveals that approximately 50% are under considerable stress for a post-parturition period from ten months to 1.5 years. They suffer from physical symptoms and sleep disturbances.
3. Approximately 90% of the women show few signs of child abuse. Nonetheless, about 50% ignore the child or slap its hand, head or bottom sometimes. Such conducts are more frequently reported towards 1.6 year-old children than to 10-month old children. Roughly 20% of husbands are involved in similar conducts towards 10-month-olds and approximately 40%, for 1.5 year-olds.
4. About 90% report no domestic violence, but 30〜40% of women have experienced psychological abuse including disregard and abusive language from their husbands. Some 10% of wives have experienced slapping, watch and non-cooperation for contraception from their husbands.
5. Conjugal violence is related to unsatisfactory social support, conjugal relations, previous experience of being abused, conjugal violence between parents, unwanted pregnancy and mental health. Violence by husband is related to the risk of child abuse.
The findings indicate the critical necessity of support for childcare such as improving financial aid, spreading the practice of a childcare leave, nursing service and early support to cut the link between conjugal violence and child abuse.
