Midwife-led Childbirth Review and Psychological Outcomes in New Parents
Sponsor: Charles University, Czech Republic
Summary
The aim of this clinical trial is to support psychological well-being and facilitate adjustment to parenthood among postpartum mothers and fathers through a midwife-led childbirth review (MLCR). MLCR is a structured 45-60-minute postpartum intervention focused on processing and integration of the individual's childbirth experience, involving active listening, emotional support, and provision of information. In this study, the investigators will employ the MLCR intervention developed by Gamble and Creedy (2009) for women with traumatic birth experiences, adapted for use in the general population of new parents, including both mothers and fathers/partners. This study will compare the effectiveness of three MLCR models - MLCR provided within the first postpartum week, MLCR provided at 6-8 weeks postpartum, and MLCR provided at both time points - with standard postpartum care and with each other.
