A multi-level meta-analysis of the relationship between decision-making during birth and postpartum mental health by Louisa Arnold, Marie Völkel, Jenny Rosendahl, Michael Rost

“…We conducted multi-level meta-analyses to assess the overall relationship of intra-partum decision-making and mental-health outcomes, as well as the specific correlations associated with each decision-making domain.Results Our analysisrevealed that less effective intrapartum decision-making is associated with more postpartum overall mental health problems (r = -.25), depression (r = -.19), and posttraumatic stress disorder (r = -.29). More precisely, while all domains of intrapartum decision-making (information: r = -.22, involvement: r = -.23, respect: r = -.28, control: r = -.25) were associated with postpartum overall psychopathology, only information (r = -.18), respect (r = -.25), and control (r = -.12) were associated with depression, and only involvement (r = -.31), respect (r = -.32), and control (r = -.25) were associated with posttraumatic stress disorder. …”
