Mit akar kideríteni a vizsgálat

The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of two early interventions, Written Exposure Therapy (WET) and Capnometry-Guided Breathing Intervention (CGRI), for reducing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms following childbirth. This initial non-randomized pilot study aims to identify potential barriers and inform refinements to the interventions and study procedures for a subsequent randomized feasibility trial.
