Abstract
We investigated the impact of pre-existing mental ill health on postpartum maternal outcomes. Women reporting childbirth trauma received counselling (Promoting Resilience in Mothers' Emotions; n = 137) or parenting support (n = 125) at birth and 6weeks. The EuroQol Five dimensional (EQ-5D)-measured health-related quality of life at 6weeks, 6 and 12months. At 12months, EQ-5D was better for women without mental health problems receiving PRIME (mean difference (MD) 0.06; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.02 to 0.10) or parenting support (MD 0.08; 95% CI 0.01 to 0.14). Pre-existing mental health conditions influence quality of life in women with childbirth trauma.
