Nursing Implications:
Practice, Education, and Research Practice. Nurses need to conduct comprehensive
assessments of, provide both written and verbal education/information to, and facilitate follow-up for all young mothers. Screening adolescents for symptoms of depression and VE is essential at each prenatal visit, in labor and birth, and postpartum. Short, easily administered screening tools such as the EPDS or the Abuse Assessment Screen (AAS) developed by McFarlane, Parker, Soeken, and Bullock in 1992 are available to assess both current depressive symptoms and partner violence and can be incorporated into the initial history. A history of depression and child physical, sexual, or emotional abuse may be identified by specifically directed questions of the adolescent. Information related to contraception
options, depressive symptoms, and categories of VE should be provided to all adolescents in written and verbal form and offered at childbirth classes, at prenatal visits, and in obstetrical hospital units. Ideally, a system for follow-up by nurses and social workers should be in place for additional resources and postpartum monitoring of depression and VE at their peak time occurrence. Peaks around the third month postpartum have been suggested for both partner violence and depression
