Debriefing Consult for Psychiatric Symptoms After Severe Maternal Morbidity

This study is looking at whether a virtual debriefing consult with a maternal fetal medicine (MFM) specialist can help reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety in women who experienced severe complications during childbirth. Severe complications are defined as needing intensive care unit (ICU) admission or receiving more than 4 units of blood. The consult would involve reviewing your hospital stay and delivery, and offering advice for future pregnancies. The study aims to see if this consult, given 6 to 8 weeks after delivery, can improve these symptoms. You can join if you are a woman aged 18 or older who experienced these childbirth complications. The current recruitment status is unclear.

This is an interventional study planning to enroll 52 participants. Participants will be randomly assigned to either receive the virtual debriefing consult or be in a control group.
What's involved
All participants will complete questionnaires to screen for post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and anxiety.
Compensation
