Recurrent pregnancy loss, psychological distress and wellbeing support for women: a mixed-methods analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Research suggests multiple experiences of miscarriage, also known as recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), may be associated with compounded risk for adverse mental health impacts. However, there is a need for research evidence that offers clarity in relation to potential predictors of psychological distress and wellbeing among this neglected population of women. This paper aims to explore physical and experiential factors associated with miscarriage-related psychological distress and wellbeing among women who had experienced RPL.

Methods

Adopting a mixed methods approach, the paper presents a secondary analysis of data which assessed the perceived impact of miscarriage experience as measured by the Revised Impact of Miscarriage Scale (RIMS) in a cross-sectional survey
