NCT05935371 · Status: RECRUITING · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 87

Last updated 2023-11-13

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim is to ascertain whether sustaining an Obstetric Anal Sphincter Injury negatively impacts intra-family relationships and increases the risk of mental health conditions, including a women's perception of herself and her self-esteem. Research in this field will ensure that the correct care and adequate support is provided for these patients in the post-natal period and beyond. Recognition of these conditions and the provision of support for these patients may improve relationships, leading to improved parenting and positive outcomes for the child. It ought to be highlighted that the sequelae of obstetric anal sphincter injuries, including anal incontinence, may manifest later on in the female life course and therefore life-long accessibility to help and therapies is advocated for these women.
