Additionally, a lack of preparation for birth and disparity between the expected and actual birth experience have been found to cause a woman to experience feelings of anger, confusion, and traumatization ).…”

Factors Related to the Seeking and Contribution of Prenatal Care Among Ethnically Diverse Adolescents

Prenatal care (PNC) defined in a "broader" sense includes assessment to improve early, continuous care with address of social risk factors such as violence (Moos 2006). Often PNC visits provide the only window of opportunity to address content reflective of the psychosocial dimension of care, including violence and depression prior to birth. If PNC is inadequate, critical social assessments are limited and interventions are not implemented.Further, without PNC, important birthing information to prepare one for labor and birth is not provided increasing the potential for birth related trauma or posttraumatic stress disorder, PTSD (Leeds and Hargreaves 2008).

“…This may be particularly important since securely attached women are also most susceptible to increased perceptions of pain if their partners were not supportive. Increased pain during labor and delivery is not only undesirable in its own right; greater childbirth pain contributes to a more negative evaluation of the entire birth experience (Niven & Murphy-Black, 2000; Waldenström et al, 2004; Waldenström, 2003, 2004) which itself is a predictor of increased risk of childbirth post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD) (Denis et al, 2011; Goutaudier et al, 2012; Soet et al, 2003). Perceptions of a negative birth, influenced by women’s experience of pain, have also been shown to influence future reproductive decisions (Gottvall & Waldenström, 2002; Hildingsson et al, 2002).…”

“…In addition to being inherently unpleasant and a cause of potentially needless suffering, childbirth pain is also associated with long-term negative outcomes such as postpartum depression (Ding, Wang, Qu, Chen, & Zhu, 2014), post-traumatic stress symptoms (Garthus-Niegel, Knoph, von Soest, Nielsen, & Eberhard-Gran, 2014), and negative evaluations of the birth experience (Niven & Murphy-Black, 2000;Waldenström, Hildingsson, Rubertsson, & Rådestad, 2004; Waldenström, 1999, 2003, 2004). These outcomes, in turn, are linked to women’s future reproductive decisions (Gottvall & Waldenström, 2002; Hildingsson, Radestad, Rubertsson, & Waldenström, 2002) and increased risk of childbirth post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD) 1 (Denis, Parant, & Callahan, 2011; Garthus-Niegel et al, 2014; Goutaudier, Séjourné, Rousset, Lami, & Chabrol, 2012; Soet, Brack, & Diloria, 2003). …”

Childbirth pain, attachment orientations, and romantic partner support during labor and delivery

Attachment anxiety is associated with greater perceived physical pain, whereas social support is associated with lower pain perceptions. Few studies, however, have examined the joint effects of attachment and support on acute physical pain in a dyadic context. In this study, first-time expectant mothers (N=140) and their male partners completed romantic attachment measures (prenatally) and postnatal assessments of women’s pain and men’s emotional support during labor and delivery. More securely attached women benefited from emotional support in terms of reduced pain, more avoidantly attached women reported greater pain when given more support, and more anxiously attached women reported greater pain, regardless of their partner’s support. These results advance our understanding of which women are most vulnerable to painful childbirth.

“…A number of postnatal women with childbirth-related PTSD symptoms develop depression symptoms, and depressive symptoms are significant predictors of PTSD symptoms [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Furthermore, PTSD is a social issue because postnatal women with posttraumatic stress symptoms and depression symptoms fail to establish strong bonds with their children [8,9].…”

“…Previous studies have used various instruments to evaluate postnatal stress symptoms, including the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Questionnaire (PTSD-Q), the Impact Event Scale -Revised (IES-R), the Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms-Self Report (PSS-SR), the Traumatic Event Scale (TES), and the Perinatal Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Questionnaire (PPQ) [4][5][6][14][15][16][17]. However, these existing scales cannot accurately measure postnatal stress symptoms related to childbirth.…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the validity and reliability of the Postnatal Women Version of Japanese-language version of the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R-J-PWV) at one month after childbirth among Japanese women.Methods: Data were collected at two general hospital maternity wards and one obstetric clinic in Aichi Prefecture from July to December 2013. A total of 260 postnatal Japanese women participated in this study. The women completed anonymous self-report questionnaires at one month postpartum. To examine the construct validity of the IES-R-J-PWV, we conducted exploratory factor analysis with promax rotation. We evaluated the criterion-related validity of the IES-R-J-PWV using Spearman's correlation coefficients between IES-R-J scores and scale scores from the Japanese Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (JEPDS), the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and the Sense of Coherence-13 (SOC-13) instrument.Results: Exploratory factor analysis revealed that the IES-R-J-PWV was composed of four factors. The total subscale scores for the four factors significantly correlated with each subscale score. The IES-R-J-PWV was positively correlated with the JEPDS (rs = 0.40, p < 0.01) and the VAS (rs = 0.47, p < 0.01) and negatively correlated with the SOC-13 (rs = -0.33, p < 0.01). The IES-R-J-PWV had good internal consistency, with a Cronbach's α coefficient of 0.92. Conclusions:The results of this study indicated that the IES-R-J-PWV was a valid and acceptable instrument for measuring and evaluating postnatal posttraumatic stress symptoms related to childbirth among Japanese women at one month after childbirth.
