Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Pregnancy is typically considered to be a joyous time, but complications during birth can be traumatizing for patients and their families, affecting their mental health and well-being. Traumatic births are linked to postpartum mental health conditions like depression and post-traumatic stress disorder, leading to significant consequences for mothers, infants, and families.
PURPOSE: This quality improvement project sought to evaluate whether addressing perinatal trauma through debriefing mitigates the effects of perinatal trauma.
METHODS: A program was implemented at a high-risk level IV maternal care hospital that focused on providing comprehensive mental health support to women experiencing significant complications during their birth. Structured debriefs with a registered nurse, optional mental health and pastoral care consultations, impact of event mental health screening, and follow-up assessments were conducted with these mothers. Surveys were administered at the end of the program to determine the effectiveness of the project and the impact of event scoring compared at birth, and 2 and 4 weeks.
RESULTS: Most mothers (84%) found the opportunity to discuss their experience with a registered nurse beneficial. During the clinical debriefs with mothers, a major influence on the mother's perception of her birth was the effectiveness of communication between her and her health care team.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: When labor and birth include traumatic events, debriefing with the patient and follow-up after hospitalization can be helpful to patients and their families in answering questions and understanding what happened and why. Communication with the patient and her family by members of the health care team is critical to patient satisfaction.
