This secondary analysis used cross-sectional baseline data from a previous longitudinal study exploring the mental health of 303 postpartum adolescents to examine associations and predictors reflecting the perception of the birth experience among three race-ethnic groups. Analysis of two key variables, partner violence and loss of control (LOC) during labor, revealed no association. Race-ethnic differences were noted for demographic variables (marital status, birth mode, and stress level) and perception of the birth experience. Black ethnicity, multiparity, LOC, and vaginal birth were found to predict a negative perception of the birth experience. Health-care provider awareness of risk factors can guide perinatal assessments and supportive and educational interventions to promote a positive perception of birth.
这项二次分析使用了来自先前一项纵向研究的横断面基线数据，该研究探讨了303名产后青少年的心理健康状况，以检验反映三个种族-族裔群体对分娩经历看法的关联和预测因素。对两个关键变量——伴侣暴力和分娩期间的失控感（LOC）——的分析显示没有关联。在人口统计学变量（婚姻状况、分娩方式和压力水平）以及对分娩经历的看法方面发现了种族-族裔差异。发现黑人种族、多胎妊娠、失控感和阴道分娩可预测对分娩经历的负面看法。医疗保健提供者对风险因素的认识可以指导围产期评估以及支持性和教育性干预措施，以促进对分娩的积极看法。
