Résumé
Birth trauma affects the entire family, yet limited attention has been directed to how nurses influence the experiences of birth companions. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to increase awareness of birth trauma among birth companions and provide nursing strategies to reduce the adverse effects of traumatic childbirth among birth companions. I review background information describing birth companions' perceptions of childbirth as traumatic and the implications of birth trauma. I then present protective nursing strategies before, during, and after birth, followed by a discussion on implications. Lastly, I offer a summary of protective nursing strategies, an example of postnatal debriefing using the adapted ASSIST communication tool, and available online birth companion resources.
