The anniversary of birth trauma: Failure to rescue
Article Abstract:
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) secondary to birth trauma is of growing concern because its long-term effects can include mother-infant attachment difficulties, parenting problems, sexual avoidance and fear of childbirth. To prevent PTSD clinicians can screen for traumatic stress symptoms and also make use of reliable and valid instruments such as the Perinatal PTSD Questionnaire thereby addressing both the psychosocial needs and the physical needs of the women during birth.
