The Psychological Experience of Pathological Pregnancy. Study of the Case of Premature Rupture of Membranes and Evaluation of the Impact of Hypnosis Support

France60 participantsStarted 2022-06-03

Plain-language summary

This research investigates the impact of a hypnosis-based intervention in alleviating state anxiety in Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes (PPROM). Our main hypothesis is that a two-session intervention can decrease anxiety for pregnant women with PPROM compared to usual care. This research also studies the impact of the experience of a PPROM during a pregnancy on several variables such as perinatal depression, pregnancy-related anxiety, bonding and childbirth experience, as well as control and pain perceived during chilbirth. Our hypotheses are that the experience of PPROM negatively influences these variables, and that this impact is alleviated by the hypnosis-based intervention for the experimental group.
