The main objective of this study is to estimate the prevalence of childbirth-related post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among mothers treated at the maternity ward of Emile Muller Hospital (Mulhouse, Haut-Rhin, France).
Secondary objectives
To identify risk factors associated with the development of PTSD, in order to determine which situations-particularly obstetric ones-could lead women to experience trauma, and understand the underlying psychological mechanisms.
Risk factors identified in the literature or deemed relevant by the study's clinicians and psychologists will be gathered from medical records.
Conduct of research About one month after giving birth, women who have provided their consent will receive an email containing a personal link to the eCRF page where they will find the French version of the "City Birth Trauma Scale" (CBTS) questionnaire, as well as the questionnaire designed to assess their use of healthcare services.
After completing the CBTS questionnaire, the participant can choose to check a box in the eCRF to indicate whether or not she wishes to be contacted by the research team in the event that her score suggests a diagnosis of PTSD.
If the participant has not completed the questionnaire within 10 days of receiving the link, a follow-up email will be sent to her. If, after receiving this follow-up email, the participant has not completed the questionnaire or contacted the research team, she will be considered lost to follow-up.
