Singer, Lucy Jordana (2019) Exploring the psychological impact of miscarriage on men. D.Clin.Psychol thesis, University of Leeds.
Abstract
Miscarriage is the most common complication of pregnancy, with 1 in every 4 known pregnancies ending in a miscarriage (Tommy’s, 2018). The grief experienced as a result of pregnancy loss has been found to be similar in intensity to other loss scenarios (Kersting & Wagner, 2012). Yet, men’s perspectives have been largely overlooked in research. A Priority Setting Partnership highlighted the importance of understanding the emotional impact of miscarriage on women and their partners (Prior et al., 2017), therefore the current research aimed to establish if men experience any psychological difficulties following miscarriage, what factors may predict this, and if men accessed any support. A mixed methods design was used.
