Women's Experiences of Psychosocial Support after Recurrent Miscarriage: A Qualitative Content Analysis.

The study interviewed 12 married women from Iranian hospitals, so it may not represent women who were unmarried, not eligible, not able to speak Persian, or not willing to participate. The topic was sensitive, and the authors noted that some women who had experienced miscarriage may have declined, so the sample may miss those with different experiences. The study did not test a psychosocial support intervention, so it cannot show which supports improve anxiety, depression, coping, or future pregnancy well-being. Healthcare providers and family members were included, but only 11 providers and 4 family members were interviewed, and the paper does not give detailed saturation or recruitment process for them.

Do not read these themes as evidence that psychosocial support programs work. The study reported what women, families, and providers said they experienced and needed, and it did not test any intervention or outcome.
