摘要

目的：早期妊娠丢失（EPL）影响1 / 4的已确认妊娠，但往往缺乏以患者为中心的支持性护理。本研究评估了数字健康工具的可行性和接受度，以支持那些受EPL影响的人。目标是：1)了解流产妇女的经历，2)探索她们获取健康信息的方法，以及3)确定她们对数字工具内容和设计的偏好。方法：这项混合方法研究包括年龄在18-45岁的加拿大人，他们自我报告在过去两年内经历了妊娠126周的EPL。招聘是通过社交媒体和医院海报进行的。参与者在2021年9月至2022年4月期间完成了在线调查和可选的后续访谈。调查结果采用描述性统计进行分析。访谈结果在另一篇论文中提出。获得当地伦理审批。结果：在185名调查对象中，28%的人表示，他们对流产所获得的总体保健服务有些或非常不满意。39%的人对他们的心理/情绪健康问题有些或非常不满意。值得注意的是，82%的人支持为EPL护理开发数字健康工具。91%的人使用互联网获取健康信息。结论：许多参与者报告对EPL后的护理不满意，但对提供一般信息和心理健康支持的用户友好的数字工具表现出强烈的兴趣。这些发现以及定性访谈数据将指导所需数字健康工具的开发和测试，旨在增强流产后患者的体验和支持。

Digital Health Tools for Miscarriage Support: A Survey of Canadian Women Facing Early Pregnancy Loss

Objectives

Early pregnancy loss (EPL) affects 1 in 4 recognised pregnancies, yet often lacks patient-centred supportive care. This study assesses the feasibility and acceptance of a digital health tool to support those affected by EPL. The objectives are to (1) understand the experiences of those who have miscarried, (2) explore their methods of accessing health information, and (3) determine their preferences regarding digital tool content and design.

Methods

This mixed-methods study included Canadian persons aged 18–45 years who self-reported to have experienced EPL up to 12⁶ weeks gestation in the preceding 2 years. Recruitment was via social media and hospital posters. Participants completed an online survey and optional follow-up interview between September 2021 and April 2022. Survey responses were analysed using descriptive statistics. Interview findings are presented in a separate paper. Local ethics approval was obtained.

Results

Of the 185 survey respondents, 28% revealed that they are somewhat or very dissatisfied with the overall health care they received for their miscarriage. Thirty-nine percent of survey respondents are somewhat or very dissatisfied with how their mental/emotional health was addressed. Notably, 82% supported the development of a digital health tool for EPL care. Ninety-one percent of survey respondents use the internet to access health information.

Conclusions

Many participants reported dissatisfaction with their care after EPL but showed strong interest in a user-friendly digital tool that provides general information and mental health support. These findings, along with qualitative interview data, will guide the development and testing of the desired digital health tool, aiming to enhance patient experience and support after miscarriage.
