Examining the Impact of Trauma-informed Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Among At-risk Pregnant Women on Perinatal Mental Health Outcomes: A Pilot Study
In Brief
An observational study for Stress Disorders, Post-Traumatic and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 3 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant and pervasive public health challenge and is associated with mental illnesses such as depression, anxiety and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Although the perinatal period may be a time of greater risk for experiencing IPV, and greater vulnerability to PTSD symptomatology, a lack of research exists pertaining to the identification/treatment of IPV-related PTSD symptoms during this period. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, and employing a feminist, intersectional framework, the effectiveness of trauma-informed cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) among pregnant survivors of IPV experiencing PTSD symptomatology on depression, anxiety, PTSD and maternal-infant attachment will be explored.
