Armi e interventi

Gruppo di partecipanti / Arm
Intervento / Trattamento
Nessun intervento: Solite cure prenatali
I partecipanti al gruppo di confronto riceveranno le consuete cure prenatali (es. classi prenatali)
Sperimentale: STEP
Participants will participate, online or in-person, to the 8-9 sessions of the program addressing the psychological experience of pregnancy and supporting reflective capacities in relation to trauma and motherhood.
The program is offered by two facilitators to groups of three to seven women, in-person or online. The program is divided in three phases entitles "Becoming a mother"; "A look at my own history" and "Looking ahead". The first phase aims to explore and normalize the emotions experienced by the participants in the course of their pregnancy and to support the use of healthy emotion regulation strategies. The second phase aims to support mentalization of trauma, by discussing the nature of trauma and its impact; by validating participants' feelings as understandable responses to trauma; by supporting a reflection on positive and harsh experiences with significant others and the ways both types of experiences influenced participants' mental states; and identifying how participants coped with trauma. In the last phase, discussions focus on participants' needs and strengths, on available resources to support resilience and envision positive and challenging moments with the child.

Lasso di tempo
Percezione del cambiamento nei domini del funzionamento durante la gravidanza
Lasso di tempo: Somministrato in un determinato momento, alla fine del terzo trimestre di gravidanza. Il partecipante riferirà sui cambiamenti percepiti durante gli ultimi 9 mesi.
Abbiamo sviluppato uno strumento che valuta la propria percezione del cambiamento (da cambiamento negativo a cambiamento positivo) attraverso molteplici domini di funzionamento, inclusa la qualità della relazione con il partner; la qualità della relazione con gli altri significativi, l'autostima; riconoscimento, regolazione ed espressione delle emozioni; sostegno sociale e fiducia dei genitori. Questi domini saranno valutati separatamente.
