Factors Associated With Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in Patients With After Preterm Delivery

France48 participantsStarted 2017-12-13

Plain-language summary

Each year in France, between 50,000 and 60,000 children are born prematurely (\< 37 weeks of amenorrhea). Literature has shown that preterm deliveries can be associated with the development of PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) in mothers. Around ¼ of women suffer from a PTSD after giving birth prematurely. Moreover, studies highlighted the consequences of a PTSD on the child-mother relationship. Beyond the importance of early detection, it could be important to predict factors that make women more likely to develop a PTSD. This study will focus on personal factors (5 dimensions of personality). Our hypothesis is that personality traits are associated with the likeliness of developing a PTSD after a preterm delivery.
