| Abstract | Background Mothers of preterm infants report traumatic, anxious and depressive symptoms in the postpartum period. Many studies have focused on biological, social, and life circumstance factors to explain the emergence of these symptoms. The process model proposes to focus on psychological processes, which are mechanisms underlying mental disorders. However, the psychological processes underlying the onset of traumatic, anxious, and depressive symptoms in postpartum mothers of preterm infants had not yet been investigated. The aim of this study was to identify the most common symptoms experienced in the first few days after delivery and determine whether processes of anhedonia, brooding rumination, and worry are related to posttraumatic stress (PTS), anxiety, and depression symptoms. Methods A sample of 106 mothers was screened for PTS, anxiety, and depression symptoms within the first 10 days after their preterm delivery. Anhedonia, brooding rumination, and worry were also assessed as psychological processes. Student’s t-tests were performed to identify the most severe manifestation reported. To explore the relationship between psychological processes and symptoms, multiple linear regressions were performed on each symptom. Results Descriptive analysis shows that 75.5% of mothers reported a pathological symptom level for at least one of PTS, anxiety, or depression. Being alert and worrying are the predominant manifestations experienced in the first few days after preterm birth. Multiple linear regression showed that PTS symptoms were associated with worry and brooding rumination; anxiety symptoms were associated with worry, reminiscence pleasure and a deficit in consummatory pleasure; and depressive symptoms were associated with worry and a deficit in consummatory pleasure. Conclusions Our findings support the transdiagnostic nature of psychological processes and suggest that anhedonia, brooding rumination, and worry may be relevant targets for psychological interventions to concurrently treat PTS, anxiety, and depression symptoms. Behavioral activation could be an effective intervention to target these dysfunctional processes and thus improve maternal symptoms. |

It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
