Objective To test whether women with hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) demonstrated lower health-related quality of life (HRQoL) scores compared with those with nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (NVP). Study Design Women with HG or NVP were examined during the first trimester. Multivariate models identified characteristics of women at risk for low HRQoL, as measured by an NVP-specific HRQoL test and a generic HRQoL test, the Short Form (SF)-36. Result Although the SF-36 assessment did not discriminate between the two groups, the NVP-specific test showed that women with HG (N¼29) were 3–6 times more likely than women with NVP (N¼48) to have low HRQoL. Both tests demonstrated that perceived physical symptoms and multiple psychosocial factors, such as depression and marital status, seemed to be equally or more important than having HG. Conclusion Although a low HRQoL was associated with an HG diagnosis, multiple physical symptoms and psychosocial factors placed both groups of women at risk.

“…The association of hyperemesis gravidarum with maternal fatigue was observed only in the younger group. Mothers with hyperemesis gravidarum in this study may delay acquiring maternal skills and emotionally preparing for their new life with their infants, as one previous qualitative study had suggested (Meighan & Wood, ). However, as only a small number of mothers in the present study had hyperemesis gravidarum ( n = 28), this association should be interpreted with caution.…”

Primiparous mothers who anticipated new life with their infants to be difficult and who had an irregular lifestyle tended to report higher levels of fatigue during the post-partum hospital stay. Nurses and midwives should assess maternal sleep and eating conditions, providing support to ensure adequate maternal rest. Special efforts should be made to reduce anxiety about new life with infants among younger primiparous women who had experienced hyperemesis gravidarum.

“…Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy not only affects the physical health of pregnant women, but can also negatively impact their family, social and occupational functioning [13], [14] . Furthermore, the degree of this negative impact seems to be associated with the severity of NVP [10], [15] .Severe and intractable NVP, hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), occurs in approximately 0.5-2% of pregnancies [16] , and studies specific to HG have also detailed the significant physical, psychological, social and economic toll [17], [18] . Health related quality of life measures the burden of illness.…”

Abstract:-Purpose: This study evaluated the health related quality of life of women with nausea and vomiting of pregnancy attending a maternal clinic in Nigeria Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on women with nausea and vomiting of pregnancy(NVP) attending ante-natal clinic at a secondary health facility. The NVP-specific quality of life questionnaire developed for women within 12 weeks of pregnancy was used in this study with some modifications. A total number of 119 women made up the study sample. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 20.Mean scores were presented with standard deviations and domain scores were compared using the mean transformed scores. Results: One hundred and nineteen pregnant women who had NVP at the time of the study participated in the study. The mean total quality of life score was 112.16±33.3 and 53.7% had an average quality of life. Domains on Limitation had a mean transformed score of 27.90 while domain on Fatigue had a mean transformed score of 50.94 depicting better and worse quality of life respectively.Conclusion: The findings showed that women in this locality were able to carry out their normal daily activity irrespective of the impact of nausea and vomiting on them.Members of the healthcare team should however work at improving the quality of life of women with NVP in this locality.
