Abstract


The immediate psychological impact of miscarriages is anxiety. High levels of anxiety can result in decreased quality of life and may be a factor in spontaneous abortion in subsequent pregnancies or premature births. This study aims to review articles related to supporting health care practices in pregnant women with history of miscarriages who experience anxiety. The articles are compiled from five databases, namely Proquest, ScienceDirect, Pubmed, Scopus, and Sage Publications, using PRISMA guidelines with the PICO methodology. In the initial search found 386 articles, by checking duplication through the Endnote application found 280 articles free of duplication. Finally, the search results obtained 7 articles that were reviewed thoroughly for a systematic review. The results obtained all pregnant women with history of miscarriage who feel high anxiety during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester. They need a supporting network to get through each week and month in their pregnancy. Health services that specifically deal with pregnant women with a history of miscarriages are felt to be important for pregnant women. This study recommends that health care providers can adopt specifically services for pregnant women with history of miscarriage or women who need services after miscarriage or loss.
