    Journal: Complement Ther Clin Pract; 2019 Nov; 37():102-108. PubMed ID: 31563834.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: and purpose: Pregnant women with a history of sexual trauma are at increased risk for mood disorders. Mindfulness interventions delivered prenatally may reduce risk of mood disorders. The purpose of this pilot was to examine the feasibility and acceptability of Mindfulness-Based Childbirth and Parenting (MBCP) for women with a history of sexual trauma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A one-group repeated measures design was employed, involving three assessments: baseline, post-intervention and at eight weeks postpartum. Twelve pregnant women were recruited and enrolled. Self-report measures and open-ended written questionnaires were used to assess health outcomes and intervention acceptability. RESULTS: Results show high satisfaction with the program, an immediate reduction in prenatal anxiety, and longitudinal increase in interoceptive awareness skills. CONCLUSION: The results suggest the feasibility and acceptability of the MBCP approach for women with a history of sexual trauma.
