Fear of Childbirth, Postpartum Depression, and Birth ‐Related Variables as Predictors of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder After Childbirth

Three hundred and one pregnant women who met the criteria for inclusion in the study made up the research sample.ResultsFear of childbirth and postpartum depression significantly and positively predicted the level of posttraumatic stress after childbirth ( β = 0.17,p  < .01; β = 0.68,p  < .001). Fear of childbirth explains 3% of the total variance in posttraumatic stress (R2 = .03, adjustedR2 = .02,F  = 7.141,p  < .01), while postpartum depres...
