Exploring parents' experiences and holistic needs following late miscarriage: a narrative systematic review.

Background: Up to 2% of all pregnancies result in pregnancy loss between 14 + 0 and 23 + 6 weeks' gestation, which is defined as 'late miscarriage'. Lack of consensus about definition of viability paired with existing multiple definitions of perinatal loss make it difficult to define the term 'late miscarriage'. Parents who experience late miscarriage often have had reassuring scan-milestones, which established their confidence in healthy pregnancy progression and identity formation, which socially integrates their baby into their family.

Background: Maternal satisfaction is one of the standards of care defined by the World Health Organisation (WHO) to improve the quality of services.

Psychometric properties of the birth satisfaction scale-revised (BSS-R) in a sample of postpartum Iranian women.

Childbirth satisfaction may positively affect maternal intention to have a future pregnancy and preference to have a cesarean. We translate the (UK-BSS-R) into Persian and validate an for future use in this population. In total, 784 mothers who were hospitalized in postpartum wards completed the Persian version of the BSS-R.

An exploratory Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) of childbearing women's perceptions of risk associated with having a high Body Mass Index (BMI).

Background: In 2016, the World Health Organization (WHO) labelled 13% of the world's adult population as obese. This increase in obesity is accompanied by mortality and morbidity problems, with maternal obesity and its accompanying risk for mother and infant requiring to be carefully managed.

Aim: To explore childbearing women with a high BMI (>35 kg/m) perceptions of risk and its potential impacts upon pregnancy and outcome.

Midwives' views of changing to a Continuity of Midwifery Care (CMC) model in Scotland: A baseline survey.

Background: There is good evidence that Continuity of Midwifery Care (CMC) is associated with improved clinical outcomes, greater maternal satisfaction, and improved work experiences for midwives. Changes made to the organisation require careful implementation, with on-going evaluation to monitor progress.

Aim: To develop a survey tool that incorporates several validated scales, which was used to collect baseline data prior to implementing a high-quality Continuity of Midwifery Care (CMC) model in Scotland (Hewitt et al.

Spanish validation and factor structure of the Birth Satisfaction Scale-Revised (BSS-R).

Objective: To translate and validate a Spanish-language version of the Birth Satisfaction Scale-Revised (BSS-R) and describe key measurement properties.

Design: A cross-sectional instrument validation design examining factor structure, validity and reliability.

Setting: Three public hospital sites in Spain.

A scoping review to determine themes that represent perceptions of self as mother ('ideal mother' vs 'real mother').

: Postnatal depression (PND) is a key cause of maternal morbidity, with current systems of initial recognition in the UK detecting only 50% of cases. In attempts to predict those potentially at risk, this review suggests a novel approach. : Implementing the concept of 'ideal mother' versus 'real mother', and asking the woman to compare their 'ideal self' against 'existent self', the aim of this instrument development review was to determine themes from the literature that relate to women's perceptions of self as a mother, and from this identification develop questions for inclusion within a proposed new measure entitled the Self-Image as Mother Scale (SIMS).

Women's views about a free breast pump service: Online survey informing intervention development.

Improving breastfeeding outcomes is a global priority; however, in the United Kingdom, continuation of breastfeeding remains low. Growing empirical evidence suggests a free breast pump service might be an acceptable and feasible incentive intervention to improve breastfeeding outcomes and reduce heath inequalities. To inform intervention development, we conducted an online survey with women recruited via social media using snowball sampling.

Midwifery continuity of carer: Developing a realist evaluation framework to evaluate the implementation of strategic change in Scotland.

Midwifery continuity of carer (MCC) models result in better clinical outcomes for women and offer midwives a superior way of working when compared to other models of maternity care. Implementing a MCC model, a key recommendation of the Scottish Government Maternity and Neonatal Strategy Best Start, requires significant restructuring of maternity services and changes to midwives' roles. Careful evaluation is therefore required to monitor and understand how the policy affects care providers and users.
