The Impact

The impact of an accident or injury, even if the physical consequences seem relatively minor in nature, can have a prolonged effect on an individual’s psychological well-being. Emotionally traumatic, early-life experiences, have been linked to certain chronic pain problems. Some patients are embarrassed by the effect and feel they should be mentally strong enough to overcome it. Others submit to it and become immobilized. It can significantly magnify the experience of pain. Recognition and treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder need not be overly complicated. Some cases may require referral to a specialist. Nightmares, flash backs, hypervigilance, and avoidance are common.

The Impact

Childbirth has been identified as a possible traumatic experience, leading to traumatic stress responses and even to the development of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The current study investigated the psychometric properties of the Dutch version of the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) in a group of women who recently gave birth (N = 435). In addition, a comparison was made between the original IES and the IES-R. The scale showed high internal consistency (α = 0.88). Using confirmatory factor analysis no support was found for a three-factor structure of an intrusion, an avoidance, and a hyperarousal factor. Goodness of fit was only reasonable, even after fitting one intrusion item on the hyperarousal scale. The IES-R correlated significantly with scores on depression and anxiety self-rating scales, as well as with scores on a self-rating scale of posttraumatic stress disorder. Although the IES-R can be used for studying posttraumatic stress reactions in women who recently gave birth, the original IES proved to be a better instrument compared to the IES-R. It is concluded that adding the hyperarousal scale to the IES-R did not make the scale stronger.
