Background:
Psychosocial support is known as a crucial coping mechanism. This qualitative study aims to explore experiences of women with recurrent miscarriage (RM) regarding psychosocial support.
Methods:
This qualitative study utilized a content analysis approach and involved 12 women with a history of RM. Participants were recruited from health centers affiliated with Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, Iran, between October 2024 and January 2025. Also, to further enrich the study data, interviews were conducted with healthcare providers (n=11) and family members (n=4). Twenty-seven semi-structured individual interviews focusing on the psychosocial support of women with RM were conducted. The participants were selected through a purposive sampling method. Interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim in Persian and analyzed using conventional qualitative content analysis with MAXQDA 2020 software.
Results:
Data analysis led to the extraction of three main categories, including interpersonal support in building resilience, structural support for psychological well-being, and educational support for psychological wellbeing.
Conclusion:
Enhancing psychosocial support is essential for women who have experienced RM. These women require comprehensive support from their husbands, families, peers, and healthcare providers. Therefore, future research is recommended to develop a targeted psychosocial intervention program designed to meet their specific needs.
