Abstract

Objectives: Abortion can be stressful for the family and may lead to psychological problems. The question arises whether religious attitudes can be restructured into women who experience induced and spontaneous abortions. In this regard, the present study aimed to investigate the relationship of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after therapeutic abortion (Induced and spontaneous) with the mother’s spiritual experiences. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study with a sample size of 104 people was conducted in 2018-2019 in the selected hospitals of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. The convenience sampling method was used in 2018. Research tools including the Mississippi PTSD Scale questionnaire were implemented for measuring stress and religious attitudes and completed immediately and a month after abortion. Data were analyzed by SPSS software using one-way ANOVA, least significant difference post hoc test, and paired t-test or Wilcoxon test. Results: Based on the results, 68.7%, 71.8%, and 72.7% of the abortion group with forensic medical letter, other causes, and spontaneous abortion had a high level of religious attitudes, respectively. In addition, 78.1%, 69.2%, and 72.7% of those who had an abortion with a forensic medical letter, underwent abortion for other causes, and experienced a spontaneous abortion had moderate PTSD immediately after abortion, respectively. Further, 62.5%, 64.1%, and 66.7% of women having an abortion with forensic medical letter, undergoing abortion for other causes, and experiencing spontaneous abortion had moderate PTSD one month after abortion, respectively. The findings revealed no significant relationship between PTSD differences immediately and a month after the abortion in the subjects (P=0.175). Conclusions: The research community had a high religious attitude while having no association with PTSD reductions. More than half of the pregnancies were unwanted, which may be due to stress levels.

治疗性流产后心理社会问题与母亲精神体验的横断面研究

目的:流产会给家庭带来压力，并可能导致心理问题。问题出现了，宗教态度是否可以重新调整到经历人工流产和自然流产的妇女身上。因此，本研究旨在探讨治疗性流产(诱发和自发)后创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)与母亲精神体验的关系。材料与方法:本横断面研究于2018-2019年在设拉子医科大学附属医院进行，样本量为104人。2018年采用方便抽样方法。研究工具包括密西西比创伤后应激障碍量表问卷，用于测量压力和宗教态度，并在堕胎后立即和一个月完成。数据采用SPSS软件进行单因素方差分析、最小显著差异事后检验、配对t检验或Wilcoxon检验。结果:结果显示，有法医证明的流产组、其他原因流产组和自然流产组中，宗教态度较高的分别为68.7%、71.8%和72.7%。此外，78.1%、69.2%和72.7%的有法医证明的堕胎者、因其他原因堕胎者和自然流产者在堕胎后立即患有中度创伤后应激障碍。此外，62.5%、64.1%和66.7%的有法医证明的堕胎妇女、因其他原因堕胎妇女和自然流产妇女在堕胎后一个月分别患有中度创伤后应激障碍。研究结果显示，流产后1个月与即刻PTSD差异无显著相关性(P=0.175)。结论:研究界有高度的宗教态度，但与PTSD的减少没有关联。超过一半的怀孕是意外的，这可能是由于压力过大。
