Abstract

Objective: This study targets women who had a self-defined traumatic childbirth experience to (a) explore the differences between sociodemographic-, obstetric-, and trauma-related variables in relation to the rumination style; (b) determine differences between intrusive and deliberate rumination in relation to posttraumatic growth (PTG) dimensions, and (c) test whether intrusive rumination is associated with deliberate rumination, which in turn is associated with PTG dimensions.

Method: A cross-sectional study design was employed using a web-based survey method for data collection. In total, 202 women who identified their childbirth experience as traumatic participated in this study.

Results: Intrusive rumination and deliberate rumination were positively associated with all dimensions of PTG in women following the traumatic childbirth event. Deliberate rumination fully explained the relationship between intrusive rumination and PTG aspects of relating to others, new opportunities, and personal strength, and partially explained the relationship between intrusive rumination and PTG aspects of spiritual changes and appreciation of life.

Conclusions: The results suggest that deliberate rumination can contribute to explain the occurrence of PTG. These findings could help develop psychosocial interventions to maximize opportunities for deliberate rumination for women with traumatic childbirth experiences.

妇女在经历分娩后的创伤后成长：个体特征以及侵入性和蓄意反刍的影响。

研究目的本研究以有过自我定义的创伤性分娩经历的妇女为对象，目的是：（a）探讨社会人口学、产科和创伤相关变量与反刍风格之间的差异；（b）确定侵入性反刍和蓄意性反刍与创伤后成长（PTG）维度之间的差异；以及（c）检验侵入性反刍是否与蓄意性反刍相关，而蓄意性反刍又是否与创伤后成长维度相关：方法：采用横断面研究设计，使用网络调查法收集数据。共有 202 名认为自己的分娩经历是创伤性的妇女参与了这项研究：结果：侵入性反刍和蓄意反刍与创伤性分娩事件后妇女的 PTG 各方面均呈正相关。刻意反刍完全解释了闯入性反刍与PTG中与他人的关系、新机会和个人力量之间的关系，部分解释了闯入性反刍与PTG中精神变化和欣赏生活之间的关系：结论：研究结果表明，蓄意反刍有助于解释 PTG 的发生。这些发现有助于制定心理干预措施，最大限度地为有创伤性分娩经历的妇女提供有意反刍的机会。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, 版权所有）。
