Rumination, dyadic coping and parenting sense of competence in couples transitioning to parenthood during puerperium: a longitudinal study protocol.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe transition to parenthood presents significant psychological and emotional challenges for mothers and their partners. Stress during the puerperium can undermine parenting confidence. Understanding how cognitive processes and couple-level coping mechanisms influence parenting competence is essential for designing effective nursing interventions. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This longitudinal study will recruit couples from maternity wards during the early postpartum period. Assessments will be conducted at 3 days, 2 weeks and 6 weeks postpartum using validated instruments: the Chinese version of the Parenting Sense of Competence Scale, the Chinese version of the Dyadic Coping Inventory and the Chinese Event-Related Rumination Inventory. The study aims to explore longitudinal changes in parenting sense of competence (PSC) and investigate how rumination and dyadic coping influence PSC in couples during the postpartum period. Structural equation modelling based on the Actor-Partner Interdependence Mediation Model will be used to estimate actor and partner effects. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethical approval has been obtained from the Shanxi Bethune Hospital Ethics Committee (No. YXLL-2023-060). All participants will be fully informed about the study aims, procedures, risks and benefits and will provide written informed consent prior to data collection. Findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journals and academic conferences to inform interventions that support the transition to parenthood and enhance family well-being.
