A Systematic Concept Analysis of Psychological Birth Trauma in Couples.
Review in International journal of women's health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Aim: To explore the concepts and connotations of psychological birth trauma at the psychological level and to provide a reference for clinical practice. Design: Concept analysis. Data Sources: A systematic literature search on psychological birth trauma published between May 2021 and March 2024 in CNKI, VIP, Wanfang Database, Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, Scopus, CINAHL, PsycINFO. Methods: Walker and Avant's concept analysis method. The authors followed the PRISMA checklist. Results: A total of 28 papers were included, summarizing the defining attributes of psychological birth trauma as the subjective feelings of the women and their partners, the appearance of avoidance behavior, throughout labor and until the postpartum period; the antecedents include self-factors, obstetric factors, medical related factors, and interpersonal factors; consequences include mental health, family relationships, and plans for another pregnancy. Conclusion: This concept analysis provides a theoretical basis for subsequent in-depth research, demonstrating that birth and related events not only triggered psychological burdens for women but also caused negative emotional experiences for partners. By offering a more complete conceptualization, it helps healthcare personnel better identify psychological birth trauma in couples. Furthermore, psychological birth trauma is a multidimensional phenomenon that requires comprehensive strategies involving social support systems, mental health services, and medical systems to help couples cope with the trauma and promote their mental health and family harmony.
