OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the long-term influence of a previous perinatal loss on parents' @entity458 during a subsequent childbearing experience. DESIGN AND SAMPLE: A cohort design was used to examine 36 couples with a history of prior perinatal loss. Data were collected during the third trimester of pregnancy, 3 months postpartum, and again 8 months after birth. MEASURES: Outcome measures included posttraumatic stress (The Impact of Event Scale), @entity308 (Center for Epidemiologic Studies- @entity308 Scale), @entity148 (Spielberger State-Trait @entity148 Inventory), and parental concerns and attitudes (Maternal/Paternal Attitudes Questionnaire). RESULTS: Levels of @entity308 (p<.001), @entity148 (p<.001), and posttraumatic stress (p=.046) significantly decreased over time in this population. However, levels of posttraumatic stress remained in the moderate range even at 8 months after birth. @entity308 was significantly correlated with posttraumatic stress at each time point. In addition, @entity308 was significantly related to posttraumatic stress, @entity148 , and concerns parents had about their @entity1 's well-being at T3. CONCLUSION: While levels of @entity148 and @entity308 decreased for parents who have experienced a previous perinatal loss, posttraumatic stress levels remained moderately high. It is unclear how this compares to parents without losses. These may be the unique symptoms and concerns these parents have about their new @entity1 . Parents with a history of prior loss should have assessments carefully tailored to their experiences to anticipate continued @entity458 .
