Overview
Brief Summary
Miscarriage is a very common complication of pregnancy, accounting for 15.3% (95% CI 12.5-18.7%) of diagnosed pregnancies. Miscarriage would affect one in ten women during her lifetime. Worldwide, 23 million miscarriages occur annually.
Because of its frequency, miscarriage isoften considered as trivial event by caregivers. Still, miscarriage can be a traumatic event. Literature is consistent on the psychological morbidity associated with miscarriage. Anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress have been studied in women after miscarriage. Cohort studies and clinical trials suggest that psychological and supportive interventions performed in women after miscarriage may improve women's psychological well-being and reduce miscarriage complications in subsequent pregnancies. However, to date, the literature is considered insufficient on the psychological care of women after a miscarriage.
Detailed Description
The aim of the study will be to evaluate the interest of a short early psychological care in women with miscarriage.
