Preventing Mood, Anxiety, and Trauma Symptoms After Cesarean Delivery

This study is looking at ways to prevent mood, anxiety, and trauma symptoms in pregnant patients who are expected to have a cesarean delivery. Researchers are testing a brief, one-hour intervention called BE-OR (Brief Intervention to the Operating Room). This intervention involves education about anxiety and a visit to the operating room to help patients feel more comfortable. They believe this approach can reduce anxiety and prevent mental health challenges after delivery. You might be able to join if you are 22-37 weeks pregnant, have a high-risk pregnancy, are admitted to the hospital for at least 3 days, and are planning to have a cesarean delivery at the University of Colorado. The study aims to see if this intervention can lower anxiety sensitivity, which is how much you react to feelings of anxiety.

Study design
This interventional study plans to enroll 80 women. It is testing a behavioral intervention and an interaction with a clinical provider.

What this trial measures

  • Anxiety-sensitivity Index 3Baseline

    18-item scale that yields a primary outcome score and subscale scores. Higher scores indicate higher anxiety sensitivity. Minimum score 0. Maximum score 72.

  • Anxiety-sensitivity Index 3Approximately 3 days (range=1-5) after intervention (CARE and interaction control conditions) or approximately 5 days (range = 3-7) after enrollment (care as usual condition)

    18-item scale that yields a primary outcome score and subscale scores. Higher scores indicate higher anxiety sensitivity. Minimum score 0. Maximum score 72.
