INTRODUCTION: Obstetric violence (OV) is a term that is currently under constant
debate and growth within society, but also within the healthcare community itself. It
includes all practices that violate women's rights during the peripartum period. The
existing literature on these practices is scarce and the lack of measuring instruments
makes the quantification of this type of violence complicated. This fact leads to an
estimated prevalence of between 15 and 91% at world level, and up to 35-40% in Spain.
Multiple studies talk about the consequences of this violence, relating it, specially, to
maternal mental health. There are multiple mental disorders developed during
peripartum, but one of the most common, affecting 10-20% of women, is postpartum
depression (PPD). The relationship between OV and PPD remains unclear, since it is an
association that has been little explored in the scientific literature. The present research
project aims to determine the relationship between women's perceived OV during
peripartum and the risk of developing PPD
