Abstract:
Objective:Using the classical concept analysis method of Avant & Walker, this paper made an in-depth analysis of the concept of childbirth trauma, obtained its operational definition, and provided a reference for clinical practice.Methods:We systematically searched CNKI, VIP, Wanfang, SinoMed, Web of Science, PubMed, and Embase, and the retrieval period was from the establishment of the database to August 10, 2022. We analyzed and defined childbirth trauma by Avant & Walker's classical concept analysis.Results:A total of 34 articles were included. The defining attributes of childbirth trauma were identified as persistent psychological trauma, lack of social support, loss of control, impaired dignity, and poor interaction with care providers. The antecedents could be discussed from demographic factors and disease history, obstetric nurses and midwives, and delivery environment. Consequences included affected women's physiology, behavior, and psychology.Conclusions:Birth trauma has brought lasting negative consequences to women's lives and families. Medical staff should recognize its severity, identify birth trauma in clinical practice with the help of the concept of birth trauma and operational definition, find it early, and effectively prevent it.
