Abstract
Background: Given the likelihood of recurrence of symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the inadequacy of therapeutic approaches in the lasting recovery of symptoms of this disorder, the precise identification of the factors involved in initiating and maintaining PTSD is very important. In this regard, the present study aimed to investigate the intermediate role of metacognition and experiential avoidance in the relationship between childhood trauma and PTSD symptoms.
Materials and Methods: The subjects of this analytical-cross-sectional research were 432 patients (278 females and 154 males) who were seeking treatment at the health centers of Shiraz in spring, summer, autumn and winter of 2018, which were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria and the Structured Interview for Axis I and II disorders (SCID). The PTSD Checklist —5 (PCL-5), Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), Metacognitions Questionnaire (MCQ-30) and Acceptance and Action Questionnaire–II (AAQ-II) were used. Data were analyzed with the structural equation modeling (SEM) in Amos software (23-ver).
Results: The results showed that the proposed model was well fitted (CFI=0.97, GFI=0.93, TLI=0.96, IFI=0.97, NFI=0.97, RMSEA=0.07), and all of the direct and indirect path coefficients were significant at the alpha level of 0.01. So that metacognition and experiential avoidance significantly mediated the relationship between childhood trauma and PTSD symptoms.
Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that considering the role of childhood trauma, metacognition and experimental avoidance in the design of psychological interventions for the people with PTSD is helpful/essential.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Maternal-fetal attachment is a key predictor of a mother's bond with her baby, as well as the quality of primary care and parenting. Identifying factors that influence this attachment is essential. This study aimed to investigate the moderating role of self-compassion in the relationship between childhood trauma and maternal-fetal attachment in pregnant women.
Methods: This descriptive correlational study was conducted on pregnant women residing in Tehran, Iran, in 2023. A sample of 204 women was selected using an availability sampling method. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, the Cranley Mother-Fetal Attachment Questionnaire, the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, and the Self-Compassion Questionnaire. Pearson's correlation method and structural equation modeling were employed for data analysis, utilizing SPSS version 26 and Smart PLS software.
Results: The results indicated a significant negative relationship between childhood trauma and maternal-fetal attachment (r=-0.40, P<0.01). Additionally, a significant positive relationship was found between self-compassion and maternal-fetal attachment (r=0.38, P<0.01). Although childhood trauma exhibited a negative relationship with self-compassion, this relationship was not statistically significant (r=-0.15, P>0.05). Furthermore, self-compassion was identified as a moderating factor between childhood trauma and maternal-fetal attachment (P=0.03).
Conclusion: The findings suggest that self-compassion plays a crucial role in mitigating the negative effects of childhood trauma on later attachment experiences, including the bond between a pregnant mother and her fetus.
