New Mothers’ Thoughts of Harm: Prevalence and Relation to OCD and Child Harm
Nichole Fairbrother, Professor with the University of British Columbia Department of Psychiatry, is seeking new who mothers to participate in an online questionnaire (taking 20-40 minutes).
Mothers must have given birth 0 – 12 months ago, are 18 years or older, and be fluent in English. New mothers must reside in Canada, the USA, Australia, the UK or New Zealand.
The survey is anonymous. The researchers note that they will keep your responses strictly confidential.
The questions will concern the unwelcome, intrusive thoughts that many mothers experience -- thoughts about their babies coming to harm. As research assistant Aida Retta explains:
"New motherhood, particularly the first few months, is an exciting time in a woman’s life. It can also be very challenging and stressful. New moms often worry about their baby’s well-being and are anxious about their ability to care for this new member of their family. Many new mothers also experience unwanted, intrusive thoughts about harm coming to their infant. These thoughts can be very distressing. They are the focus of our research. We are hoping to learn more about how common infant-harm thoughts are, as well as how they are related to new mothers’ metal health, well-being and parenting."
