Couples Miscarriage Healing Project:Randomized Trial
Completed · Phase 1/Phase 2
Conditions studied: Miscarriage, Grief, Pregnancy Loss
In brief
This is a randomized trial of three caring based interventions to see if we can help couples heal after miscarriage. All three are based on Swanson's theory of caring and Meaning of Miscarriage Model. The first, nurse caring, consists of three counseling sessions with a nurse. The second intervention, self-caring, involves watching three videotapes and completing three workbooks. The third, combined caring, involves receiving one counseling session with a nurse followed up with the three videotapes and workbooks. There is also a control group that receives no intervention. All interventions are administered at 1, 6, and 11 weeks after study enrollment. Couples can enroll who are no more than 12 weeks post miscarriage of a pregnancy that ended at 20 weeks gestation or less. At 1, 6, 16, and 52 weeks post enrollment we ask couples to complete mailed booklets that contain a variety of research questionnaires about their emotional health, integration of loss, and couple relationship.
