The aim of this study is to explore childbirth fears on psychological birth trauma (PBT) by adolescent age.
Among adults parity and intrapartum fears including fear of dying, loss of control, pain, and limited support have been associated with negative birth appraisal and symptoms of traumatic stress, defined here as PBT.
This cross-sectional study surveyed a convenience sample of 201 adolescents at a large, county hospital.
Over 75% of adolescents perceived fear. Younger and older adolescents, similar in fears, were distinguished only by parity. The effects of parity, overall rating of fear, and father of baby absence were found to vary by age on birth appraisal; however, only parity varied by age on IES scores.
All age adolescents can be fearful and will benefit with childbirth education and labor support to help reduce fears and subsequent PBT.
本研究旨在探讨青少年时期分娩恐惧对心理性分娩创伤（PBT）的影响。
在成年人中，产次和分娩期恐惧（包括对死亡的恐惧、失去控制、疼痛和支持有限）与负面的分娩评价及创伤后应激症状（在此定义为PBT）有关。
这项横断面研究对一家大型县级医院的201名青少年进行了便利抽样调查。
超过75%的青少年感到恐惧。年龄较小和较大的青少年在恐惧方面相似，仅在产次上有所区别。研究发现，产次、总体恐惧评分和婴儿父亲缺失对分娩评价的影响因年龄而异；然而，只有产次在IES评分上因年龄而有所不同。
所有年龄段的青少年都可能感到恐惧，分娩教育和分娩支持将有助于减轻恐惧及后续的PBT，使他们受益。
