Personal growth in UK and Croatian women following childbirth: A preliminary study

The aim of this study was to examine growth in UK and Croatian women following childbirth and to identify correlates of personal growth after birth, specifically focusing on sociodemographic, obstetric, and coping variables. Childbirth is a significant and challenging life event for many women with the potential for both positive and negative psychological changes. Research is increasingly exploring growth in different cultures. No studies have explored growth in Croatian women following childbirth. UK (N=193) and Croatian (N=160) women who had given birth within the last two years completed online questionnaires measuring growth, depression, posttraumatic stress symptoms and coping strategies. Approximately 44% and 35% of UK and Croatian women respectively, reported a moderate level of growth after childbirth. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses showed that younger women in both countries reported more growth. In the UK sample approach coping strategies were related to higher growth. In the Croatian sample higher posttraumatic stress symptoms and the avoidant coping strategy of denial were associated with higher levels of growth. This study suggests that many women report positive changes as a result of their birth experience. Further research is needed to explore how cultural elements are manifested in the experience of growth.
