Partner involvement and emotional and informational support gaps as predictors of postpartum birth trauma symptoms: a multi-center cross-sectional study of 230 women at 42 days postpartum
Inadequate partner involvement and larger emotional and informational support gaps are significantly associated with greater postpartum birth trauma severity. Interventions should prioritize partner-inclusive care and targeted support to address unmet informational and emotional needs. Routine psychosocial screening at postpartum follow-up may facilitate early identification and intervention for at-risk women.
