dc.description.abstractObjective: This study targeted women who had a self-defined traumatic birth to a) explore the differences between sociodemographic, obstetric, and childbirth trauma related variables in relation to women’s rumination style following a traumatic birth, b) determine differences between intrusive and deliberate rumination in relation to post-traumatic growth dimensions, and c) test whether deliberate rumination explains the relationship between intrusive rumination and post-traumatic growth dimensions. Method: A cross-sectional study design was employed using a web-based survey method for data collection. In total, 202 women who identified their childbirth experience as traumatic participated in this study. Results: Intrusive rumination and deliberate rumination were positively associated with all dimensions of post-traumatic growth in women following the traumatic childbirth event. Deliberate rumination fully explained the relationship between intrusive rumination and post-traumatic growth aspects of relating to others, new opportunities, and personal strength, and partially explained the relationship between intrusive rumination and posttraumatic growth aspects of spiritual changes and appreciation of life. Conclusions: The results suggest that deliberate rumination can contribute to explaining the occurrence of post-traumatic growth. These findings could help develop psychosocial interventions to maximise opportunities for deliberate rumination for women with traumatic childbirth experiences.por
