By Colin Lightfoot, M.Sc. Infection and ImmunityJun 29 2022Reviewed by Aimee Molineux The ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has caused major disruptions to many aspects of life, especially in healthcare.
Posttraumatic growth is the term used to describe a person’s positive outlook on highly stressful events. In the pre-pandemic era, PTG was reported in a large proportion of women following childbirth. Methodology The authors conducted a survey to assess the effect of COVID-19 on maternal wellbeing throughout the pandemic. Among the participants who met inclusion and exclusion criteria and supplied data on acute stress in reaction to recent childbirth, 2,205 people gave birth after the beginning of the pandemic, while 544 participants did so before the pandemic. Participants in the entire sample were, on average, 31.98 years old and 2.23 months postpartum.
Study findings A slight degree of growth was reported in 34.1% of the participants and more substantial growth was reported in 36.35% of participants, all because of childbirth. The participants reported supporting appreciation for life , personal strength , relating to others , new possibilities , and spiritual and existential change .
