Women's experiences with early pregnancy loss in the emergency room : A qualitative study
Copyright © 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved..
OBJECTIVES: To understand the reasons why women present to the Emergency Room (ER) for Early Pregnancy Loss (EPL)-related care, how they perceive care and counseling there, and their overall experience during and after their visit.
STUDY DESIGN: This qualitative study utilized semi-structured telephone interviews. Participants were recruited in a large urban ER; women who experienced EPL were interviewed by telephone about their experiences 1-3 weeks after their visit. Audio recordings were transcribed and coded by two independent coders.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: This qualitative study utilized semi-structured interviews without the use of formal outcome measurement tools.
RESULTS: Of the sixty-seven women recruited, ten completed the full telephone interview. Interview participants' responses were grouped into four categories: Feelings about EPL, reasons for going to the ER, experience in the ER, and experience after leaving the ER. Women had mixed feelings about their ER experiences; many reported chaos, lack of information or lack of emotional support, while a few felt informed and supported. Many did not know much about EPL before their experience.
CONCLUSIONS: ER care for women experiencing suspected or confirmed EPL may not be addressing the emotional needs and knowledge gaps of women. Patient education, emotional support, and clear plans for outpatient follow up are critical. Further research is needed to guide interventions to improve care.
