“…In practice, only a minority actually receive any postmiscarriage care, and satisfaction with healthcare services was low [90,91]. Research in the UK in the mid-1990s repeatedly demonstrated the need for information and attitudes of medical staff negatively affecting the experience of the management of miscarriage [92][93][94]. More recently, Sejourn, Callahan and Chabrol reported on an internet-based survey of over 300 women who had previously miscarried [95].…”

This article summarizes the research detailing factors relevant to the identification and estimation of medically defined miscarriages, and describes research highlighting the psychological effects and individual social context of miscarriage. Specifically, issues of culture and social psychological interpretations of miscarriage are discussed in this article, and suggestions for improvement of follow-up care are discussed. The research reviewed shows there is a need for immediate and longer term recognition of the psychosocial effects of miscarriage and support for women, particularly those not supported within their social network, and emphasizes the need to be culturally aware when addressing health policy and healthcare needs of different populations undergoing similar reproductive losses.

“…22 Lack of partner support, both around the time of miscarriage 5,23 and up to 2 years later, has been connected to women's increased emotional distress. 24 Interpersonal and sexual distance 1 year after loss has been associated with male partners not engaging in caring acts and couples' failure to mutually share feelings about miscarriage. 25,26 Partner support has also been linked to women's well-being during pregnancies after loss.…”

Aims: The purpose of this randomized controlled clinical trial was to examine the effects of three couplesfocused interventions and a control condition on women and men's resolution of depression and grief during the first year after miscarriage. Methods: Three hundred forty-one couples were randomly assigned to nurse caring (NC) (three counseling sessions), self-caring (SC) (three video and workbook modules), combined caring (CC) (one counseling session plus three SC modules), or control (no treatment). Interventions, based on Swanson's Caring Theory and Meaning of Miscarriage Model, were offered 1, 5, and 11 weeks after enrollment. Outcomes included depression (CES-D) and grief, pure grief (PG) and grief-related emotions (GRE). Differences in rates of recovery were estimated via multilevel modeling conducted in a Bayesian framework. Results: Bayesian odds (BO) ranging from 3.0 to 7.9 favored NC over all other conditions for accelerating women's resolution of depression. BO of 3.2-6.6 favored NC and no treatment over SC and CC for resolving men's depression. BO of 3.1-7.0 favored all three interventions over no treatment for accelerating women's PG resolution, and BO of 18.7-22.6 favored NC and CC over SC or no treatment for resolving men's PG. BO ranging from 2.4 to 6.1 favored NC and SC over CC or no treatment for hastening women's resolution of GRE. BO from 3.5 to 17.9 favored NC, CC, and control over SC for resolving men's GRE. Conclusions: NC had the overall broadest positive impact on couples' resolution of grief and depression. In addition, grief resolution (PG and GRE) was accelerated by SC for women and CC for men.

“…With the looming threat of loss in future conceptions, increased levels of anxiety may occur up to 2 years after miscarrying (Cordle & Prettyman, 1994). Women's anxiety may influence relationships with their partners (Swanson, Karmali, Powell, & Pulvermahker, 2003).…”

Descriptions of 85 women's feelings about miscarriage at 1, 6, 16, and 52 weeks were inductively coded, rank-ordered, and clustered into 3 responses: healing, actively grieving, and overwhelmed. Women who were actively grieving or overwhelmed at 1 week experienced significantly less distress from 6 weeks on. Responses at 1 week differed with regards to those who had a history of perinatal loss or went on to experience negative life events or sexual distance after loss. One year responses differed based on who was pregnant or gave birth, miscarried again, lived through a higher number of post-loss negative life events, or experienced interpersonal or sexual distance from their mate. Responses were not influenced by gestational age at loss or having other children. ß
