Introduction: A maternal near-miss (MNM) case is defined as "a woman who nearly died but survived from life-threatening pregnancy or childbirth complication". This study was conducted on health care providers and near-miss mothers (NMMs) with the aim of discovering the unmet needs of Iranian NMM.
Methods: In this qualitative study 37 participants of key informants, health providers, NMMs and their husbands were selected using purposive sampling. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted for data collection until data saturation was achieved. Data were analyzed using Graneheim and Lundman conventional content analysis.
Results: The analysis revealed the core category of "the need for comprehensive support". Eight categories included "psychological", "fertility", "information", "improvement the quality of care", "sociocultural", "financial", "breastfeeding" and "nutritional" needs emerging from 18 sub-categories, were formed from 2112 codes.
Conclusion: Many of the real needs of NMM have been ignored. Maternal health policymakers should provide standard guidelines based on the needs discovered in this study to support the NMMs' unmet needs.

Riverine flooding is increasing in frequency and intensity, requiring river management agencies to consider new approaches to working with communities on flood mitigation planning. Communication and information sharing between agencies and communities is complex, and mistrust and misinformation arise quickly when communities perceive that they are excluded from planning. Subsequently, riverfront community members create narratives that can be examined as truth regimes-truths created and repeated that indicate how flooding and its causes are understood, represented, and discussed within their communities-to explain why flooding occurs in their area.
