Postnatal Debriefing After Adverse Obstetric Events (DBIRTH)
Effect of a Structured Postnatal Debriefing on Psychological Outcomes and Birth Experience in Women After Adverse or Unexpected Obstetric Events: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Adverse or unexpected obstetric events can negatively affect women's psychological well-being and childbirth experience, increasing the risk of postpartum traumatic stress. However, structured postnatal debriefing is not routinely implemented in clinical practice, and evidence regarding its effectiveness remains limited.
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of a structured postnatal debriefing conducted within the first 24 hours after childbirth in women who have experienced an adverse or unexpected obstetric event.
Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group receiving structured debriefing or a control group receiving usual postpartum care.
The primary outcome is childbirth-related trauma at 6 weeks postpartum. Secondary outcomes include birth satisfaction, early post-traumatic stress symptoms, and clinical maternal and neonatal outcomes.
This study will provide evidence on whether structured postnatal debriefing improves psychological outcomes and contributes to more patient-centered obstetric care

Szczegółowy opis
This study is part of a mixed-methods research project evaluating the implementation of postnatal debriefing in obstetric care. The present phase consists of a prospective, randomized controlled trial with two parallel groups (1:1 allocation).
The study will be conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Parc de Salut Mar, Barcelona, Spain. Eligible participants are women who experience an adverse or unexpected obstetric event during labor or the immediate postpartum period and are clinically stable within the first 24 hours after childbirth.
Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group receiving a structured postnatal debriefing or a control group receiving usual postpartum care. Randomization will be performed using a computer-generated sequence with allocation concealment through sealed opaque envelopes.
The intervention consists of a structured, individualized postnatal debriefing session conducted within the first 24 hours postpartum by a senior obstetrician together with the midwife responsible for the woman's care. The session lasts approximately 15-30 minutes and follows a semi-structured guide including emotional assessment, active listening, clinical explanation of the event, validation of emotions, and opportunity for questions. The intervention is adapted to each woman's needs.
Data will be collected at hospital discharge (approximately 48 hours postpartum) and at 6 weeks postpartum using validated instruments, through a secure electronic data capture system (REDCap).
The primary outcome is childbirth-related trauma assessed at 6 weeks postpartum. Secondary outcomes include birth satisfaction, early post-traumatic stress symptoms, and clinical maternal and neonatal variables.
The sample size has been calculated to detect clinically meaningful differences between groups, with a total of 142 participants (71 per group), accounting for potential losses to follow-up.
This study aims to generate evidence on the effectiveness of structured postnatal debriefing as a feasible, scalable, and patient-centered intervention to improve psychological recovery after adverse childbirth experiences.

Childbirth-related post-traumatic stress symptoms measured by City Birth Trauma Scale (City BiTS)
