Physical and psychological impact of miscarriage on women (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9786207761654)

Emerging evidence suggests that miscarriage is associated with significant and potentially long-lasting psychological and physical consequences. Despite the high frequency of pregnancies complicated by miscarriage, there are no available data on the psychological impacts, particularly perinatal grief, as well as possible physical impacts in Tunisian women who have experienced miscarriage.We conducted a descriptive and analytical study using an anonymous questionnaire including the perinatal grief scale (PGS) with the aim of describing the physical and psychological consequences of miscarriage in women.The mean PGS score was 103.57, with a large standard deviation of 27.17, including 67.9% of women with total scores above or equal to the threshold (>= 91). In terms of physical repercussions, 69.7% reported difficulty falling asleep, 67.9% said they had a disturbance in their appetite, and 44% said they had experienced post-abortive vaginismus.
