Abstract
Influence of Maternal Exposure to IPV on Child Feeding Practices
in India
Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a global
public health problem that has
implications for child health. Previous studies have examined the
associations between
IPV and maternal and child health; yet, research is lacking on the
effects of maternal
exposure to IPV on infant feeding practices, especially in poor
settings.
Project goal: This study will investigate the
compensatory and deficit response theories of
the effects of maternal exposure to IPV on breastfeeding. The
hypothesis is that maternal
exposure to IPV will have a deficit effect on infant feeding
practices.
Methods: A secondary analysis was performed on data of 5,765
mother-child dyads
from the 2005-2006 Indian National Family Health Survey. The sample
included mothers
who were linked to children six months of life or younger.
Exposures of interest were
maternal report of ever experiencing any IPV and ever experiencing
only physical
and/or sexual IPV. Logistic regression was used to assess the
associations of these
exposures with various feeding practice outcomes.
Results: Compared to mothers unexposed to IPV, those who
were exposed to either any
IPV or physical and/or sexual IPV only had a higher adjusted odds
of feeding infants
liquids (aOR = 1.47, 95%CI = 1.2 - 1.8 and aOR = 1.53, 95%CI = 1.2
- 1.9, respectively),
solids (aOR = 1.55, 95%CI = 1.2 - 2.1 and aOR = 1.72, 95%CI = 1.3 -
2.3), and any foods
other than breast milk (aOR = 1.45, 95%CI = 1.2 - 1.8 and aOR =
1.51, 95%CI = 1.2 - 1.9).
Mothers exposed only to physical and/or sexual IPV were also more
likely to report
their infant having drank from a bottle with a nipple (aOR = 1.46,
95%CI = 1.1 - 2.0).
Both exposure groups had lower adjusted odds of reporting
exclusively breastfeeding
their infants (aOR = 0.70, 95%CI = 0.6 - 0.9 for any IPV; aOR =
0.68, 95%CI = 0.5 - 0.8 for
physical and/or sexual IPV only).
Conclusion: Results of the study support the hypothesis that
maternal exposure to IPV
elicits a deficit response to breastfeeding. Improvements
can be made to maternal and
child health through IPV prevention and the promotion of proper
child feeding
practices.
