“…The significant positive correlations between the IES-R-J-PWV and JEPDS confirmed that the IES-R-J-PWV instrument adequately evaluated childbirth-related postnatal posttraumatic stress symptoms among Japanese women at one month after childbirth. Consistent with another study [16], our study also showed moderate negative correlations between posttraumatic stress symptoms and sense of coherence. Consequently, this offers further evidence that the IES-R-J-PWV can evaluate childbirth-related postnatal stress symptoms.…”

“…A higher score reflects better stress management. Previous studies reported that a low sense of coherence was associated with higher postnatal posttraumatic stress symptoms scores, and postnatal posttraumatic stress symptoms were significantly negatively correlated with sense of coherence [16,40,41]. Therefore we adopted the SOC-13 to examine criterion-related validity.…”

“…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.

“…Women may have late presentation of symptoms due to being overwhelmed with having a new baby. The symptoms may also be ascribed to post-natal depression (PND) (Beck, 2011), as the rates of comorbidity between PTSD and PND are high (Stramrood et al, 2011). As women are repeatedly exposed to the reminder of their trauma (i.e.…”

Emotions and support needs following a distressing birth: Scoping study with pregnant multigravida women in North-West England AbstractObjective: To identify the emotional and support needs of pregnant multigravida women who have experienced adverse responses associated with a previous childbirth experience.Setting: Four maternity hospitals in North-West England.Design: 100 surveys were distributed at an anomaly scan clinic in each of four maternity hospitals (total n=400). The survey included an adapted version of a Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Symptom Scale to explore trauma responses at two broad time points: a) following a previous birth and b) during the current pregnancy. Participants were also asked about the optimal time to receive support post-birth, and the type and provider of support they had accessed/would have liked to access. Descriptive and inferential statistics were undertaken on the quantitative data. The qualitative data was analysed using a basic thematic approach.Participants: Multigravida pregnant women aged 18+ years. Findings:The overall response rate was 28% (n=112); 43% (n=46) of these had experienced negative/trauma responses associated with a previous birth, 74% of whom (n=34) continued/reexperienced adverse responses in their current pregnancy. Most commonly reported trauma responses were difficulties in recalling the previous birth(s), avoiding memories associated with it, and the distress associated with these memories when they were recalled.Approximately 54% (n=25) had received some form of support post-birth, and variations in preferred timing of postnatal support provision were reported. Information on available support and opportunities to discuss the birth with a maternity professional were identified most frequently as preferred support options. Conclusion & Implications for Practice:Women's views about what might work should form the basis for effectiveness studies in this area. Among the participants in this study there was evidence of unmet support needs relating to negative or traumatic responses to a previous birth.The range of preferred timing and types of support indicate that flexible needs-based support options should be provided. Further research should assess if these findings are reinforced in a more diverse sample with a higher response rate.
