Posttraumatische Belastungsstörungen nach Geburt
Abstract
Die Posttraumatische Belastungsstörung (PTBS) wird vor allem im Zusammenhang mit sexueller oder körperlicher Gewalt, Krieg, Naturkatastrophen und Unfällen diskutiert. Allerdings gibt es auch Ergebnisse, die besagen, dass ein kleiner Prozentsatz der Frauen nach der Geburt eines Kindes eine klinisch relevante posttraumatische Symptomatik entwickeln kann. Die epidemiologische Forschung zur PTBS nach Geburtsereignissen wird zusammenfassend dargestellt und mögliche Gründe für die divergierenden Ergebnisse diskutiert. Mit diesem Störungsbild verbundene Schwierigkeiten werden angerissen und der Stand der Forschung zum Thema Einflussfaktoren und Prädiktoren zusammenfassend dargestellt. Individuelle Vulnerabilitätsfaktoren und Merkmale der Geburt selbst beeinflussen die Störungsentwicklung.
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been discussed mostly in connection with sexual or physical violence, war, natural disasters, and accidents. However, there is evidence that a small percentage of women can develop clinically relevant posttraumatic symptoms after giving birth to a child. The epidemiological research on PTSD following childbirth is reviewed and possible reasons for diverging results are discussed. Difficulties connected to this disorder as well as the state of evidence on factors that influence and predict its development are summarized. Individual vulnerability factors and factors related to the birth itself influence the development of the disorder.
