Summary

Recurrent miscarriage is a frustrating event for couples. The purpose of this randomized, controlled trial was to examine the effectiveness of nursing counseling on sleep quality, depression, stress, and social support in women with recurrent miscarriage (RM). Sixty-two eligible women were randomly assigned to the experimental group (n = 31) or the control (n = 31) group. The experimental group received routine care and three sessions of nursing counseling during the 12-week prenatal genetic testing stage, while the control group received routine care only. Outcome measures included the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Edinburgh Prenatal Depression Scale, Perceived Stress Scale, and Interpersonal Support Evaluation List. Paired sample t-tests were conducted before and after nursing counseling to measure whether there were any statistically significant changes in outcome variables.
