Introduction

: Domestic violence in pregnant women is considered a serious public health problem that affects the well-being of the mother and child.

Objective

: To determine the factors associated with intrafamily violence in pregnant women at the Tablada de Lurín Maternal and Child Health Center during the period 2021-2022.

Results

: Domestic violence occurred in 15.63%. In the first simple regression analysis, it was found that pregnant women with more than 4 children, with a confidence interval of 2.44, presented a higher frequency of suffering intrafamily violence compared to pregnant women who had less than or equal to 2 children. In the second multiple regression analysis, it was observed that pregnant women with more than 4 children presented a higher frequency of suffering intrafamily violence compared to pregnant women who had less than or equal to 2 children.

Conclusions:

It was found that pregnant women who suffered family violence represented 15.6%. Those who had more than four children were more likely to suffer domestic violence than women with less than two children; the average age of the raped pregnant women was 29.9 years
