“…Factors related to perinatal well-being include ecological, economical, physical, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions. Allan et al (2013) concluded that these facets are subjectively, cognitively and/or affectively viewed and evaluated by women evaluating their life and emotional health status. The outcome of this self-evaluation therefore determines the woman's state of 'perinatal well-being'.…”

“…A concept analysis of the term 'perinatal well-being' (Allan et al, 2013) suggested that well-being is a complex, multi-faceted, frequently used term with limited agreement about its meaning. Factors related to perinatal well-being include ecological, economical, physical, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions.…”

“…Both concepts are difficult to define, measure and interpret. HRQoL can be described as a multi-dimensional concept that includes domains of emotional, physical and social functioning, which can improve or worsen over time, while well-being relates to positive aspects of life, such as positive emotions, happiness and life satisfaction (Allan, Carrick-Sen, & Martin, 2013).…”

Objective: To describe a rapid review of major health-related, electronic bibliographic databases, to identify pregnancy-specific measures of health-related quality of life and well-being. This paper details the range of available instruments, rather than aiming to critique their psychometric properties or indicate problem prevalence. Background: While many instruments are used to measure health and well-being in pregnant women, most are primarily designed for use with a generic population to quantify the presence and magnitude of problems. Few instruments are designed to measure well-being specifically with pregnant women. Methods: A comprehensive search was undertaken to retrieve studies reporting the use of pregnancy-specific instruments to measure health-related quality of life or well-being. The search was conducted on Medline, Cochrane Library and Social Sciences Citation Indexes. Results: 1938 papers were identified and checked for inclusion at title and abstract stage. Eighty-four full papers were obtained for review against inclusion criteria. Thirty-nine papers were selected for inclusion, covering 30 instruments available for use solely with pregnant women. Most of the studies were conducted in Scandinavia or the USA, involved low-risk women, were of cross-sectional design or longitudinal design with data collected across more than one trimester. Conclusion: Most instruments identified in this review were developed for use in non-pregnancy contexts. Those specifically designed for use during pregnancy were infrequently used, apart from the Wijma Delivery Expectancy Questionnaire and the Cambridge Worry Scale. We found limited activity in assessing and measuring the health and well-being of pregnant women to capture positive psychological pregnancy outcomes.

“…Findings indicated that multidimensionality, complexity, and subjectivity were among the characteristics of well-being in HRP. These characteristics are also for the concepts of general well-being (60-62) as well as situation-specific well-being such as perinatal wellbeing and well-being in other disciplines (63,64). Yet, complexity, multidimensionality, and subjectivity are not unique to the concept of well-being; rather, many other concepts such as quality of life and comfort are multidimensional, complex, and subjective.…”

Background: A prerequisite to the interventions for well-being improvement in high-risk pregnancy (HRP) is to make the concept clear, objective, and measurable. Despite the wealth of studies into the concept of well-being in high-risk pregnancy, there is no clear definition for it. This study aimed to explore the concept of well-being in high-risk pregnancy. Methods: This integrative review was conducted using the Whittemore and Knafl's approach. A literature search was done without any data limitation in dictionaries, thesauruses, encyclopedias, well-being-related textbooks, midwifery, psychology, and mental health journals, and Iranian and international databases. The most primary inclusion criterion was relevance well-being in high-risk pregnancy. The full-texts of all articles were assessed using the checklists of the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). Data were analyzed through the constant comparison method and were managed using the MAXQDA 10 software. Meaning units were identified and coded. The codes were grouped into subcategories and categories according to the attributes, antecedents, and consequences of well-being in high-risk pregnancy. Results: Thirty articles were included in the review, from which 540 codes were extracted. The codes were grouped into seven main attributes, eight main antecedents, and five main consequences of well-being in HRP.Findings showed that the four dimensions of well-being in high-risk pregnancy concept were physical, mental-emotional, social, and spiritual well-being. Conclusion: As a complex and multidimensional concept, well-being in high-risk pregnancy refers to the pregnant woman's evaluation of her life during high-risk pregnancy. It includes physical, hedonic, and eudaimonic components. The assessment of well-being in HRP should include all these components. Keywords: Well-being, Pregnancy, High-risk pregnancy allows the assessment of both empirical and non-empirical studies. In this method, concepts are defined, theories and evidence are reviewed, and methodological issues related to the intended concept are analyzed to extract its attributes, antecedents, and consequences, further clarify the concept, and provide a better understanding and clearer definition for it (20,21).

“…However, researchers are beginning to recognise the need to explore a range of possible responses (Allan, Carrick-Sen, & Martin, 2013;Ayers, Joseph, McKenzie-McHarg, Slade, & Wijma, 2008) and there is some qualitative and quantitative evidence supporting this. In qualitative research, one study explored women's accounts of a subsequent childbirth after Personal growth after childbirth 3 a previous traumatic birth and found evidence of one of the domains of growth: a sense of personal strength (Beck & Watson, 2010).…”

This is the accepted version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. women respectively, reported a moderate level of growth after childbirth. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses showed that younger women in both countries reported more growth. In the UK sample approach coping strategies were related to higher growth. In the Croatian sample higher posttraumatic stress symptoms and the avoidant coping strategy of denial were associated with higher levels of growth. Conclusion: This study suggests that many women report positive changes as a result of their birth experience. Further research is needed to explore how cultural elements are manifested in the experience of growth. Permanent repository link
