Abstract [en]

Background: Almost 20 percent of known pregnancies end in miscarriage. The main reason to why miscarriage occur is chromosome defects. It is of great importance that healthcare professionals provide support and adequate information to women who is experiencing miscarriage. Person-centered care should be implemented which can indicate respect for integrity, autonomy and promotion of women's participation. Aim: The aim of the literature review was to describe women´s experiences of undergoing miscarriage. Method: This study applies a thematic analysis. Eleven articles were included in the analysis. Results: Three main themes with eight subthemes were identified. Lacking information with subthemes expectations, diagnosis and treatment and follow-up care. Psychological effects with subthemes worry, grief and shame and guilt. Emotional processing with subthemes support from partner or related parties and professional support. Conclusion: Lack of information, mental strain and lack of emotional support were factors that influenced woman’s experience and permeated most of the literature study’s results. To provide person-centered and patient-safe care for women who is experiencing miscarriage, further in-depth studies of the subject is essential. 

Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Ca 20 procent av alla graviditeter slutar i missfall där främsta orsaken är kromosomfel. Det är av stor vikt att vården ger stöd och adekvat information till kvinnor som genomlever missfall. Personcentrerad vård bör tillämpas, vilket kan innebära respekt för integritet, autonomi samt att främja kvinnans delaktighet. Syfte: Syftet med litteraturstudien var att belysa kvinnors erfarenheter av att genomgå missfall. Metod: Litteraturstudien tillämpar en tematisk dataanalys. Elva stycken artiklar inkluderades i dataanalysen. Resultat: Tre huvudsakliga teman och åtta subteman identifierades; Bristfällig information med subteman förväntningar, diagnos och behandling samt uppföljning. Psykisk påfrestning med subteman oro, sorg samt skam och skuld. Emotionellt stöd med subteman stöd från partner eller närstående samt professionellt stöd. Slutsats: Bristfällig information, psykisk påfrestning och brist på emotionellt stöd var faktorer som influerade kvinnors erfarenheter och genomsyrar majoriteten av litteraturstudiens resultat. För att bedriva personcentrerad och patientsäker vård för kvinnor som genomlever missfall är vidare fördjupning i ämnet grundläggande.
