In Jordan, the number is double the reported international average. Data on effect of violence on birth outcomes are important for planning, implementing, and evaluating maternal health programs. The research question was, \u201cDoes intimate partner physical VAW during pregnancy increase the risk of negative birth outcomes for newborns among birthing women in Jordan?\u201d Natural experiment design was used for this study. A consecutive sampling technique was used for selecting the victims of physical violence ( n = 79) and a simple random sampling for selecting non-victims ( n = 79). Intimate partner physical violence was measured by using the Arabic version of World Health Organization\u2019s (WHO) domestic violence questionnaire, which has an accepted interrater validity. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and chi-square were used to detect the differences in birth outcomes between the victims and non-victims of physical violence. The results showed that there is a significant difference in newborn\u2019s birth weight between the victims of violence and non-victims with a small effect size. However, there were no significant differences between the two groups in preterm birth and assisted newborn ventilation. The non-significant effect of violence on the incidence of preterm birth contradicts the published literature. Intimate partner violence (IPV) is rooted in Jordanian culture and widely accepted among married Jordanian women. Midwives, doctors, educators, and policy makers should work together to eradicate violence and detect victims of it, to improve birth outcomes and decrease newborn morbidity and mortality rates.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0886260515603975","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,9,7]],"date-time":"2015-09-07T21:08:53Z","timestamp":1441660133000},"page":"3822-3838","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Effects of Intimate Partner Physical Violence on Newborns\u2019 Birth Outcomes Among Jordanian Birthing Women"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Sanaa","family":"Abujilban","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hashemite University College of Nursing, Zarqa, Jordan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lina","family":"Mrayan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hashemite University College of Nursing, Zarqa, Jordan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hanan","family":"Al-Modallal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hashemite University College of Nursing, Zarqa, Jordan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Esra\u2019a","family":"Isaa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hashemite University College of Nursing, Zarqa, Jordan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,9,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0886260515603975","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/NMD.0b013e3182982b1d"},{"key":"bibr2-0886260515603975","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/2230-8229.149577"},{"key":"bibr3-0886260515603975","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/epirev\/mxq001"},{"key":"bibr4-0886260515603975","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10896-012-9429-1"},{"key":"bibr5-0886260515603975","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1413","DOI":"10.4067\/S0034-98872001001200007","volume":"129","author":"Arcos E.","year":"2001","journal-title":"Revista M\u00e9dica de Chile"},{"key":"bibr6-0886260515603975","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2147\/IJWH.S8632"},{"key":"bibr7-0886260515603975","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.26719\/2009.15.4.880"},{"key":"bibr8-0886260515603975","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/aje\/kwt304"},{"key":"bibr9-0886260515603975","volume-title":"Statistical power analysis for the behavioral sciences","author":"Cohen J.","year":"1988","edition":"2"},{"key":"bibr10-0886260515603975","volume-title":"Jordan Population and Family Health Survey 2009","author":"Department of Statistics [Jordan] &amp; ICF Macro","year":"2010"},{"key":"bibr11-0886260515603975","volume-title":"Jordan Population and Family Health Survey 2007","author":"Department of Statistics [Jordan] and Macro International","year":"2008"},{"key":"bibr12-0886260515603975","volume-title":"Jordan Population and Family Health Survey 2002","author":"Department of Statistics [Jordan] and ORC Macro","year":"2003"},{"key":"bibr13-0886260515603975","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0968-8080(10)36533-5"},{"key":"bibr14-0886260515603975","first-page":"87","volume":"83","author":"Fahmy H.
