Studies have reported associations between miscarriage and depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder in women. Men can also experience intense grief and sadness following their partner\u2019s miscarriage. While numerous studies have reported hospital-related factors impacting the emotional wellbeing of parents experiencing miscarriage, there is a lack of review evidence which synthesises the findings of current research.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Aims<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The aim of this review was to synthesise the findings of studies of emotional distress and wellbeing among women and men experiencing miscarriage in hospital settings.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A systematic search of the literature was conducted in October 2020 across three different databases (CINAHL, MEDLINE and PsycInfo) and relevant charity organisation websites, Google, and OpenGrey.

Findings indicated that women and men\u2019s emotional wellbeing is influenced by interactions with health professionals, provision of information, and the hospital environment. Parents\u2019 experiences in hospitals were characterised by a perceived lack of understanding among healthcare professionals of the significance of their loss and emotional support required. Parents reported that their distress was exacerbated by a lack of information, support, and feelings of isolation in the aftermath of miscarriage. Further, concerns were expressed about the hospital environment, in particular the lack of privacy.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Women and men are dissatisfied with the emotional support received in hospital settings and describe a number of hospital-related factors as exacerbators of emotional distress.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Implications for practice<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>This review highlights the need for hospitals to take evidence-informed action to improve emotional support services for people experiencing miscarriage within their services.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12884-022-04585-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,31]],"date-time":"2022-03-31T12:03:19Z","timestamp":1648728199000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":56,"title":["Factors affecting the emotional wellbeing of women and men who experience miscarriage in hospital settings: a scoping review"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Martina","family":"Galeotti","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gary","family":"Mitchell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mark","family":"Tomlinson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"\u00c1ine","family":"Aventin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"4585_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.4103\/2230-8210.107834","volume-title":"The Investigation and Treatment of Couples with Recurrent First-trimester and Second-trimester Miscarriage.
