“…Antenatal anxiety predicted PTSD severity at three months postpartum. Negative emotional responses during birth did not predict PTSD severity, unlike previous studies (Goutaudier et al, 2012;Lemola et al, 2007;Olde et al, 2005;Pantlen and Rohde, 2001). Instead, negative emotional responses predicted severity via psychoform and somatoform dissociation at three months postpartum, and via somatoform dissociation at ten months postpartum.…”

“…Anxious pregnant women also run a greater risk of experiencing negative emotions during pregnancy. Women with high levels of perinatal negative emotions were subsequently more likely to dissociate under intense stress, which may cause PTSD symptoms (Goutaudier et al, 2012). Women should be screened during pregnancy for antenatal anxiety, depression, and dissociative tendencies, for they are most likely to develop PTSD.…”

“…If coping efforts fail, intense negative emotions can cause PTSD (Boudou et al, 2007;Goutaudier et al, 2012;Lemola et al, 2007;Lev-Wiesel et al, 2009;Lyons, 1998;Olde et al, 2005;Pantlen and Rohde, 2001). Lanius et al (2010) provided neurobiological evidence on how intense negative emotional responses cause PTSD via dissociation.…”

A lack of information about percent recruited or evidence of low recruitment characterizes most of the literature reviewed, with only seven studies clearly documenting effective recruitment (Goutaudier et al, 2012; Hui Choi, 2012; Kennedy et al, 2011; Lowe, 1993; Salmela-Aro et al, 2012; Slade et al, 2000; Stockman, 2001). High attrition rates in several studies (24%–54%) suggest that study requirements often were untenable (Gau et al, 2011; Ip et al, 2009; Kennedy et al, 2011; Larsen et al, 2001; Salmela-Aro et al, 2012; Soet et al, 2003; Svensson et al, 2009).…”

“…Of the 11 studies that included both multiparous and nulliparous women, two studies had insufficient (4–8%) multiparous women to permit comparisons by parity (Larsen & Plog, 2012; Soet et al, 2003). In nine studies, researchers reported more robust inclusion of multiparous women (31% – 79%;Christiaens & Bracke, 2007; Dilks, 1997; Gau et al, 2011; Goutaudier et al, 2012; Hui Choi, 2012; Kennedy et al, 2011; Schwartz, 2015; Stockman, 2001; Williams et al, 2008). …”

Objective To synthesize and critique the quantitative literature on measuring childbirth self-efficacy and the effect of childbirth self-efficacy on perinatal outcomes. Data Sources Eligible studies were identified through searching MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases. Study Selection Published research using a tool explicitly intended to measure childbirth self-efficacy and also examining outcomes within the perinatal period were included. All manuscripts were in English and published in peer-reviewed journals. Data Extraction First author, country, year of publication, reference and definition of childbirth self-efficacy, measurement of childbirth self-efficacy, sample recruitment and retention, sample characteristics, study design, interventions (with experimental and quasi-experimental studies), and perinatal outcomes were extracted and summarized. Data Synthesis Of 619 publications, 23 studies published between 1983 and 2015 met inclusion criteria and were critiqued and synthesized in this review. Conclusions There is overall consistency in how childbirth self-efficacy is defined and measured among studies, facilitating comparison and synthesis. Our findings suggest that increased childbirth self-efficacy is associated with a wide variety of improved perinatal outcomes. Moreover, there is evidence that childbirth self-efficacy is a psychosocial factor that can be modified through various efficacy-enhancing interventions. Future researchers will be able to build knowledge in this area through: (a) utilization of experimental and quasi-experimental design; (b) recruitment and retention of more diverse samples; (c) explicit reporting of definitions of terms (e.g. ‘high risk’); (d) investigation of interventions that increase childbirth self-efficacy during pregnancy; and, (e) investigation regarding how childbirth self-efficacy enhancing interventions might lead to decreased active labor pain and suffering. Exploratory research should continue to examine the potential association between higher prenatal childbirth self-efficacy and improved early parenting outcomes.

An exploratory qualitative study exploring GPs' and psychiatrists' perceptions of post‐traumatic stress disorder in postnatal women using a fictional case vignette

Postnatal post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects 3%-4% of women who give birth. It is underdiagnosed and undertreated. Thus far, no studies have investigated doctors' perceptions of PTSD in postnatal women. We investigated whether GPs and psychiatrists perceive PTSD symptoms after birth to indicate pathology and what diagnosis and management they would offer. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six GPs and seven psychiatrists using a fictional vignette featuring a woman experiencing PTSD following a traumatic birth. A framework analysis approach was used. Despite half the GPs recognizing trauma-related features in the vignette their most common diagnosis was postnatal depression whereas six of the seven psychiatrists identified PTSD. Management plans reflected this. Both GPs and psychiatrists lacked trust in timeliness of referrals to psychological services. Both suggested referral to specialist perinatal mental health teams. Results suggest women are unlikely to get a PTSD diagnosis during initial GP consultations, however the woman-centred care proposed by GPs means that a trauma-focussed diagnosis later in the care pathway was not ruled out. Further research is needed to confirm these findings, which suggest that an evidence base around best management for women with postnatal PTSD is sorely needed, especially to inform GP training.

From a physical health perspective giving birth has never been safer (Knight et al., 2017; World Health Organization, 2019). However approximately a third of women describe their experience of childbirth as psychologically traumatic
