N2  - The use of violence as a means of resolving interpersonal  problems is an enigmatic concern of contemporary living. While the media may shock us with graphic presentations of the most heinous crimes, it is easy to remain apathetic when the faces and places are remote. However, it becomes increasingly difficult to ignore the fact that violence is no longer a stranger but is occurring in epidemic proportions. This study was a descriptive, non-experimental design conducted to address three goals: 1) To demonstrate the prevalence of physical abuse during pregnancy, 2) to identify whether or not relationships exist between a woman's age, ethnicity, marital status, education level, and the occurrence of battering, 3) to ascertain who women identify as potential helping resources if concerned about abuse.
