Abstract

Background

Little is known about the influencing factors of psychological birth trauma (PBT) among postpartum women in China.

Methods

A multicenter cross-sectional survey was conducted from April to June 2023 among 2230 women within one year postpartum by convenience sampling. The measurement tools were selected based on the classical ABC-X model. PBT (factor X) was assessed using the Psychological Birth Trauma Assessment Scale. Data on predictors were collected from three aspects, including birth events (factor A), women's coping resources (factor B), and perception of birth events (factor C). Univariate analysis, correlation analysis, and multivariate linear regression analysis were performed to identify the influencing factors of PBT.

Results

Multivariate linear regression analysis results showed that induced labor onset (β' = 0.086, P < .001), preterm birth (β' = 0.049, P = .001), instrumental vaginal delivery (β' = 0.031, P = .039), neuroticism (β' = 0.229, P < .001), and negative cognitions of birth events (β' = 0.375, P < .001) were risk factors for PBT among postpartum women in China. Perceived social support (β' = -0.175, P < .001) and nursing support (β' = -0.117, P < .001) were protective factors. These factors accounted for 52.5 % of explained variances in PBT.

Conclusions

Multifaceted influencing factors of PBT were identified based on the ABC-X model. Such efforts seem to provide information for identifying women at high risk of PBT and formulating interventions aimed at preventing or reducing PBT and its associated adverse consequences. Additional well-designed studies are required to validate our findings and deepen the understanding of this topic.

期刊介绍： Founded in 1961 to report on the latest work in psychiatry and cognate disciplines, the Journal of Psychiatric Research is dedicated to innovative and timely studies of four important areas of research: (1) clinical studies of all disciplines relating to psychiatric illness, as well as normal human behaviour, including biochemical, physiological, genetic, environmental, social, psychological and epidemiological factors; (2) basic studies pertaining to psychiatry in such fields as neuropsychopharmacology, neuroendocrinology, electrophysiology, genetics, experimental psychology and epidemiology; (3) the growing application of clinical laboratory techniques in psychiatry, including imagery and spectroscopy of the brain, molecular biology and computer sciences;
