Literature has identified the risk factors for developing CB-PTS\/D within the first six months postpartum thoroughly. However, the impact of mode of birth on CB-PTS\/D beyond 6 months postpartum is scarcely studied. (2) Methods: A systematic search of the literature was conducted in the databases PubMed, Embase and CINAHL and PRISMA guidelines were followed. Studies were included if they reported the impact of mode of birth on CB-PTS\/D beyond 6 months postpartum. (3) Results: In total, 26 quantitative and 2 qualitative studies were included. In the quantitative studies the percentage of women with CB-PTS\/D ranged from 0.7% to 42% (between six months and five years postpartum). Compared with vaginal birth, operative vaginal birth, and emergency caesarean section were associated with CB-PTS\/D beyond 6 months postpartum. Qualitative studies revealed that some women were suffering from CB-PTS\/D as long as 18 years after birth. (4) Conclusions: Long- term screening of women for PTSD in the postnatal period could be beneficial. More research is needed on models of care that help prevent CB-PTS\/D, identifying women at risk and factors that maintain CB-PTS\/D beyond 6 months postpartum.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph19148830","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,20]],"date-time":"2022-07-20T11:22:24Z","timestamp":1658316144000},"page":"8830","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["The Impact of Mode of Birth on Childbirth-Related Post Traumatic Stress Symptoms beyond 6 Months Postpartum: An Integrative Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6867-5595","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nicole","family":"Ginter","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Practice & Elderly Medicine, Section Midwifery Science, University Medical Center Groningen, University of Groningen, 9700 RB Groningen, The Netherlands"},{"name":"Department of Midwifery Science, AVAG, Amsterdam Public Health Research Institute, Amsterdam UMC, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, 1081 BT Amsterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8137-026X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lea","family":"Tak\u00e1cs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Faculty of Arts, Charles University, 116 42 Prague, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Martine J.
