    Abstract
  •   Objective  To investigate the current status of postpartum trauma perception in women undergoing vaginal delivery and analyze its influencing factors.  Methods  Convenience sampling was used to select postpartum women who underwent vaginal delivery in our hospital from February 2022 to January 2023 as the research subjects. We conducted a survey on postpartum women using a general information questionnaire, the Postnatal Trauma Perception Scale for Vaginal Delivery, the Family Care Index (APGAR), and the Childbirth Attitude Scale (CAQ). Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to investigate the relationship between postpartum trauma perception, family care, and childbirth fear among women who had vaginal delivery. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to investigate the influencing factors of postpartum trauma perception in women undergoing vaginal delivery.  Results  The total score of trauma perception during vaginal delivery was (81.05±21.41) points, which was above average. The total score of family care was (8.27±1.06) points, and the total score of childbirth fear was (38.71±8.49) points; Pearson correlation analysis showed that there was a negative correlation (r=-0.286, P < 0.05) between the total score of the delivery trauma awareness scale and the total score of the APGAR scale for women undergoing vaginal delivery, and a positive correlation (r=0.397, P < 0.01) with the total score of the CAQ scale. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that parity, frequency of prenatal check ups, family care, frequency of pregnancy education, fear of childbirth, and understanding of the vaginal delivery process were factors affecting the perception of delivery trauma in women undergoing vaginal delivery (P < 0.05), which could explain 32.5% of the variance variation in the perception of delivery trauma in women undergoing vaginal delivery.  Conclusion  The perception of childbirth trauma among women undergoing vaginal delivery is at a moderate to high level. Factors influencing the perception of childbirth trauma among women undergoing vaginal delivery include parity, frequency of prenatal check-ups, family care, frequency of pregnancy education, fear of childbirth, and understanding of the vaginal delivery process. Medical staff should pay attention to the emotional changes of postpartum women, carry out diversified and effective prenatal health education activities, stimulate their positive psychological state, and thereby reduce their perception of childbirth trauma.
