Abstract in brief

The study tested whether a 15-minute visuospatial task (playing Tetris) shortly after emergency caesarean sections could reduce intrusive traumatic memories in women, and found that women who did the task experienced fewer such memories compared to those who received usual care.
Results also indicated a trend toward fewer symptoms of acute stress reexperiencing, with most women finding the intervention acceptable, suggesting it could be a helpful early tool for preventing posttraumatic stress after traumatic childbirth.
This research provides initial evidence that a simple, brief cognitive intervention may offer a universal method to help reduce trauma-related symptoms in new mothers after emergency C-sections.]
