Abstract

This study was conducted with a total of 273 women who had at least one vaginal birth in order to examine women's perceptions of traumatic births and the factors affecting these perceptions. This is a descriptive and correlational study. Womens Traumatic Birth Perception Scale (TBPS) mean score was 59.92 ± 35.73(Min = 0; Max = 130). It was determined that factors such as previous pregnancy complications, telling about the last birth, fear of birth, use of painkillers during birth, episiotomy, fundal compression at birth, and length of stay at birth affected the TBPS score (p < 0.05). These variables accounted for 48% of the variance in traumatic birth experiences.
