Posttraumatic Growth after High Risk Pregnancy
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this study was to investigate the posttraumatic growth (PTG) after high risk pregnancy. Data were collected from 183 women who had obstetrical high risk using self-administered questionnaire including scales of Korean-Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (K-PTGI). Women were recruited from nine hospitals in P city, U city, and K-do in Korea. Women reported PTG in a moderate to great degree following childbirth with risk. Our results showed that PTG presented mostly in the domain of Changed Perception of Self and indicated that PTG significantly differed according to age, religion, number of children, newborn’s health status and postpartum pain. These findings suggest that when promoting PTG program for high risk pregnancies, healthcare providers should assist women to improve their positive change considering related variables.
