Abstract
Beck CT. Post-traumatic stress disorder due to childbirth: the aftermath. Nurs Res 2004;53:216–24.[OpenUrl][1][CrossRef][2][PubMed][3][Web of Science][4] Q What is the essence of mothers’ experiences of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after traumatic births? Descriptive phenomenology. A website hosted in New Zealand. 38 mothers (mean age 33 y, 32% primipara) from 4 countries (New Zealand, United States, Australia, and United Kingdom) who had experienced PTSD attributable to birth trauma (women reported that the diagnosis was made by a healthcare professional) and were willing to articulate their experiences. Length of time from birth trauma to study participation ranged from 6 weeks to 14 years. Women were recruited through Trauma and Birth Stress, a charitable trust in New Zealand founded to support women who had experienced birth trauma and to educate healthcare professionals and the general public about PTSD after childbirth. Women were asked to describe in writing their experiences of PTSD after childbirth in as much detail as they wished. 2 women hand wrote and sent their stories by post; 36 submitted their stories as email attachments. The phenomenological analysis involved reading and rereading participants’ descriptions of PTSD after traumatic birth to describe the essence of the phenomenon, formulating the … [1]: {openurl}?query=rft.jtitle%253DNursing%2Bresearch%26rft.stitle%253DNurs%2BRes%26rft.aulast%253DBeck%26rft.auinit1%253DC.%2BT.%26rft.volume%253D53%26rft.issue%253D4%26rft.spage%253D216%26rft.epage%253D224%26rft.atitle%253DPost-traumatic%2Bstress%2Bdisorder%2Bdue%2Bto%2Bchildbirth%253A%2Bthe%2Baftermath.%26rft_id%253Dinfo%253Adoi%252F10.1097%252F00006199-200407000-00004%26rft_id%253Dinfo%253Apmid%252F15266160%26rft.genre%253Darticle%26rft_val_fmt%253Dinfo%253Aofi%252Ffmt%253Akev%253Amtx%253Ajournal%26ctx_ver%253DZ39.88-2004%26url_ver%253DZ39.88-2004%26url_ctx_fmt%253Dinfo%253Aofi%252Ffmt%253Akev%253Amtx%253Actx [2]: /lookup/external-ref?access_num=10.1097/00006199-200407000-00004&link_type=DOI [3]: /lookup/external-ref?access_num=15266160&link_type=MED&atom=%2Febnurs%2F8%2F2%2F59.atom [4]: /lookup/external-ref?access_num=000222950600004&link_type=ISI

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
