The aim of this study is to develop a midwife-led birth review intervention considering the psychological birth trauma, and to evaluate its feasibility (validity of the study methodology, acceptability of the intervention, efficacy and safety of the intervention, and implementability).
Others
Intervention receipt rate and post-intervention attrition rate
Methodological validity: Evaluate the intervention receipt rate and the attrition rates post-intervention, and at 1 and 3 months postpartum.
-Methodological validity: Calculate Cronbach's alpha for each scale among participating postpartum women.
-Postpartum women's acceptability: Evaluate intervention satisfaction immediately post-intervention and at 3 months postpartum using the Japanese Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8). Assess optimal timing/frequency and emotional changes via a custom questionnaire.
-Intervention efficacy: Measure childbirth-related PTSD symptoms (Japanese PTSD Checklist for DSM-5), postpartum depression (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale), self-esteem (Japanese Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale), sense of mastery (Japanese Sense of Mastery Scale), and birth experience (Japanese Birth Satisfaction Scale-Revised [Japanese-BSS-R]) at baseline (pre-intervention) and post-intervention, and 1 and 3 months postpartum.
-Intervention safety: Assess childbirth-related PTSD symptoms using the Japanese PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 at baseline, post-intervention, and 1 and 3 months postpartum.
-Midwives' acceptability: Conduct midwife interviews to evaluate the birth review's utility, ease/clarity of use, burden, fit with clinical needs, and improvement suggestions.
-Implementability: Evaluate completion rates, time efficiency, and midwife interviews regarding protocol adherence challenges, orientation appropriateness, and implementation barriers.
