Comorbidity of Post-traumatic Stress Symptoms and Depressive Symptoms among Obstetric Nurses with Perinatal Death Exposure.

Background: Mental health and well-being among obstetric nurses after perinatal death is understudied. The primary goal of this study is to explore the comorbidity of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and depressive symptoms among obstetric nurses. In addition, we explore associations between personal resources - coping self-efficacy and active social support - and comorbidity symptoms.
