Abstract

Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand 2003; 82: 10–17. © Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand 2003 Background. The aim of this clinical evaluation was to study birth experience, post‐traumatic stress symptoms, and satisfaction with care in new mothers who had consulted specially trained midwives because of a fear of childbirth during pregnancy. Methods. Sixty‐two women were eligible for the study, of whom 53 (85%) participated at 1–14 months postpartum. For comparison, a group of 53 women were matched for parity and mode of delivery. All 106 women completed two self‐rating scales, the Wijma Delivery Experience Questionnaire (W‐DEQ) and the Impact of Event Scale (IES), and answered several open questions about their opinion of the antenatal preparation given. Results. Those women who had been treated for fear of childbirth reported a rather more frightening experience of delivery, and more frequent symptoms of post‐traumatic stress related to delivery than did the women in the comparison group. Nevertheless, satisfaction with care was manifest in the study group. Conclusions. Women who seek help for fear of childbirth are a vulnerable group. Because the counseling received by the women in this study did not accord them the same positive experience of childbirth as the average parturient at the unit, more effective forms of treatment may be necessary. However, as most of the women were very satisfied with their care and with the outcome, one may assume that the care given had improved their situation to some degree.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
