TL;DR
This study finds that personality traits like neuroticism and extraversion are linked to PTSD in mothers who give birth prematurely.
Contribution
The study identifies specific personality traits associated with PTSD risk in mothers after preterm delivery.
Findings
Neuroticism is positively correlated with PTSD in mothers who gave birth prematurely.
Extraversion is negatively correlated with PTSD in these mothers.
Early detection and intervention for PTSD in this population are recommended.
Abstract
Giving birth prematurely is a traumatic event that has many consequences for the mother but also for her baby and their family. Studies have shown that about a quarter of these mothers will suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a result. This study aims to identify internal personality factors associated with the development of PTSD in mothers who gave birth before 33 weeks. The results revealed significant correlations between two personality dimensions (neuroticism and extraversion) and the likeliness of developing PTSD in mothers who gave birth prematurely. Neuroticism is positively liked with the disorder while extraversion is negatively correlated with it. Studies should now focus on early detection of PTSD and better interventions for these mothers.
