Abstract

Background: To explore the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) of women with unexplained RPL.

Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled women with unexplained RPL in the Reproductive Medicine Centre of Shanxi Maternal and Child Health Hospital between August 28^th and September 28^th, 2024. Data were collected through a self-designed questionnaire encompassing sociodemographic characteristics and three dimensions of KAP.

Results: A total of 485 valid questionnaires were included, with knowledge, attitude, and practice scores of 13.05 ± 6.24, 39.30 ± 3.09, and 41.11 ± 4.37, respectively. The multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that knowledge scores (OR = 1.05, 95% CI: 1.02-1.09, P = 0.001; beneficial), attitude scores (OR = 1.30, 95% CI: 1.20-1.41, P < 0.001), and urban residence (OR = 0.64, 95% CI: 0.41-0.99, P = 0.049) were independently associated with the proactive practice. The structural equation modeling (SEM) showed that knowledge directly (β = 0.20, P = 0.001) and indirectly (β = 0.15, P < 0.001) influenced practices.

Conclusion: Women with unexplained RPL demonstrated insufficient knowledge, moderate attitude, and proactive practice towards RPL. Targeted educational interventions could be needed to enhance knowledge related to RPL, which may help women form proper expectations toward pregnancy.

对不明原因复发性妊娠丢失的知识、态度和做法。

背景：探讨不明原因复发性妊娠丢失（RPL）妇女的知识、态度和实践（KAP）。方法：采用横断面研究方法，于2024年8月28日至9月28日在山西省妇幼保健院生殖医学中心就诊的不明原因RPL妇女。数据通过自行设计的问卷收集，包括社会人口学特征和KAP的三个维度。结果：共收回有效问卷485份，知识、态度、实践得分分别为13.05±6.24分、39.30±3.09分、41.11±4.37分。多变量logistic回归分析显示，知识得分(OR = 1.05, 95% CI: 1.02-1.09, P = 0.001；有益)、态度评分（OR = 1.30, 95% CI: 1.20-1.41, P < 0.001）和城市居住（OR = 0.64, 95% CI: 0.41-0.99, P = 0.049）与积极实践独立相关。结构方程模型（SEM）显示知识直接（β = 0.20, P = 0.001）和间接（β = 0.15, P < 0.001）影响实践。结论：不明原因RPL患者对RPL的认识不足，态度温和，积极主动。可能需要有针对性的教育干预，以提高与生殖生殖和生殖生殖有关的知识，这可能有助于妇女对怀孕形成适当的期望。
