| Popis: | WOS: 000388057100039 PubMed ID: 27969033 Background: Fear of birth and low childbirth self-efficacy is predictive of post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms following childbirth. The efficacy of antenatal education classes on fear of birth and childbirth self-efficacy has been supported; however, the effectiveness of antenatal classes on post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms after childbirth has received relatively little research attention. Purpose: This study examined the effects of antenatal education on fear of childbirth, maternal self-efficacy and post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms following childbirth. Design: Quasi-experimental study. Methods: The study was conducted in a city located in the Middle Anatolia region of Turkey and data were collected between December 2013 and May 2015. Two groups of women were compared an antenatal education intervention group (n = 44), and a routine prenatal care control group (n = 46). The Wijma Delivery Expectancy/Experience Questionnaire, Version A and B, Childbirth Self-efficacy Inventory and Impact of Event Scale-Revised was used to assess fear of childbirth, maternal self-efficacy and PTSD symptoms following childbirth. Results: Compared to the control group, women who attended antenatal education had greater childbirth self efficacy, greater perceived support and control in birth, and less fear of birth and post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms following childbirth (all comparisons, p < 0.05). Conclusions: Antenatal education appears to alleviate post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms after childbirth. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc All rights reserved. |
