Background  Disrespect and abuse (D&amp;A) violate the fundamental principles of ethics, human rights, and basic obligations to protect and relieve patients. This study aimed to identify the status of D&amp;A and its relationship with the post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among Iranian women.    Methods  This prospective study was conducted on 288 mothers admitted to the maternity wards of three public and three private hospitals in Tabriz. The data collection tools were socio-demographic and obstetric questionnaires as well as D&amp;A (6–18 h postpartum) and PTSD (one month postpartum) scales, which were completed by participants in interviews. Multivariate logistic regression was employed to determine the relationship between PTSD and D&amp;A in adjusting the socio-demographic and obstetric variables.    Results  In this study, 74.7% of mothers reported one or multiple types of D&amp;A. According to the diagnostic criteria for PTSD, 16.3% of the participants experienced postpartum PTSD. The mean (± standard deviation) of the PTSD score was reported 7.32 (± 2.0) in the women experiencing D&amp;A, whereas it was 1.0 (± 0.0) in the women having no experiences of D&amp;A. According to the Mann–Whitney U test results, there was a significant relationship between the total and all subscales of PTSD score and D&amp;A ( p  &lt; 0.001). The multivariate logistic regression results indicated that the likelihood of PTSD was significantly lower in the participants without any D&amp;A experiences than in those with D&amp;A experiences (aOR: 0.06; 95% CI 0.01 to 0.58;  p  = 0.015).    Conclusion  Given the PTSD–D&amp;A relationship, it is recommended to improve maternal care in maternity facilities to prevent any unintended PTSD complications.
