Women with disabilities are increasingly becoming pregnant, and may be as likely to become pregnant as women without disabilities. Growing research suggests pregnancy in women with disability is associated with an increased risk for adverse perinatal outcomes. Although a few studies have examined disability-related disparities in adverse birth outcomes, finding increased risk of low birthweight, preterm birth, and neonatal intensive care unit admission, the mechanisms for these associations are not well understood. One plausible mechanism is the increased risk of psychosocial stress experienced by women with disabilities in the perinatal period. Women with disabilities are at heightened risk for intimate partner violence (IPV) and mood disorders, yet the extent to which these risks affect pregnancy outcomes has not been studied. A more comprehensive understanding of psychosocial stress, namely IPV and depressive symptomatology, and its relation to adverse birth outcomes is critically needed to reduce morbidity and mortality rates among disabled mothers and their infants, reduce disparities in perinatal care between women with and without disabilities, inform the design of effective evidence-based interventions for this understudied and underserved population of women, and generate recommendations for clinical practice and policy change. To address this gap, we propose to systematically examine the association between psychosocial stress and adverse birth outcomes. Using a mixed method approach, we will: 1) examine the association between psychosocial stress (i.e., perinatal IPV and depressive symptomatology) and adverse birth outcomes (i.e., low birthweight, preterm birth) by analyzing data from PRAMS Phase 9 across women with and without disabilities; 2) explore the experiences and barriers to comprehensive perinatal care through individual interviews with ethnically and racially diverse pregnant and new mothers with diverse disabilities; and 3) explore facilitators and barriers (e.g., disability-related knowledge, attitudes, and pregnancy care experience) to the provision of comprehensive perinatal health care to women with disabilities through focus groups and individual in-depth interviews with health care providers who care for pregnant women with disabilities with the goal of improving perinatal care for this underserved group of women. This research will also serve as the foundation for the development and evaluation of future prevention interventions, including our own team’s planned submission to adapt, tailor, and test existing successful health promotion interventions to prevent violence and its related sequelae among women with disability, thereby optimizing pregnancy outcomes for women of childbearing age living with disability.

残疾妇女越来越多地怀孕，而且怀孕的可能性与 没有残疾的妇女。越来越多的研究表明，残疾女性的怀孕与 围产期不良结局的风险增加。尽管有几项研究研究了与残疾相关的 不良出生结局的差异，发现低出生体重、早产和新生儿的风险增加 重症监护病房的入院，这些关联的机制还不是很清楚。一件看似合理的事 其机制是残疾妇女在围产期经历的心理社会压力的风险增加 句号。残疾女性患亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)和情绪障碍的风险更高， 然而，这些风险对妊娠结局的影响程度尚未得到研究。一个更全面的 理解心理社会应激，即IPV和抑郁症状学，及其与不良反应的关系 为了减少残疾母亲及其母亲的发病率和死亡率，分娩结果是至关重要的 婴儿，减少残疾妇女和非残疾妇女在围产期护理方面的差异，为设计 对这一未得到充分研究和服务的妇女群体采取有效的循证干预措施； 为临床实践和政策变化提供建议。为了解决这一差距，我们建议 系统地研究心理社会压力和不良生育结局之间的关系。使用 混合方法，我们将：1)检查心理社会压力(即围产期IPV)之间的关系 和抑郁症状)和不良分娩结局(例如，低出生体重、早产) 来自PRMS第9阶段的数据，涉及残疾和非残疾妇女；2)探索经验和障碍 通过与不同民族和种族的孕妇和 不同残疾的新母亲；以及3)探索辅助者和障碍(例如，与残疾有关的知识， 态度和孕期保健经验)向妇女提供全面的围产期保健 通过焦点小组和对照顾残疾人的卫生保健提供者的个人深入访谈 残疾孕妇，目标是改善这一服务不足的群体的围产期护理 女人。这项研究也将作为未来预防发展和评估的基础 干预措施，包括我们自己的团队计划提交以适应、定制和测试现有的成功健康状况 采取促进干预措施，防止残疾妇女中的暴力及其相关后遗症，从而 优化残疾育龄妇女的妊娠结局。
