Psychosocial Challenges Faced by Women After Perinatal Loss in Pakistan and the Need for Supportive Interpregnancy Care
Perceived Social Support and Women’s Empowerment and Their Associations with Pregnancy Experiences in Anxious Women
“You can only help them save the patient once they trust you”
While telemedicine applications in low- and middle-income countries are growing rapidly, few studies address the social and organizational factors of implementation essential to sustaining clinician engagement. This study aims to explore clinician experiences and perspectives of a pediatric emergency teleconsultation support program in Sindh, Pakistan, and theories of use behind its implementation in government hospitals. We conducted in-depth in…
Cultural adaptation and psychometric validation of the Pregnancy Experience Scale–Brief version (PES-Brief) in Pakistani women with antenatal anxiety symptoms
Background: Pregnancy experiences influence fetal and birth outcomes. There is scarcity of locally validated tools to assess pregnancy experiences. We aimed to validate the Pregnancy Experience Scale-Brief (PES-Brief) in pregnant Pakistani women with anxiety symptoms. Methods: A two-step process was used including 1) adaptation via translation/back-translation followed by cognitive interviewing with 10 participants and 2) factor analysis and vali…
Those whom I have to talk to, I can't talk to’
Anxiety during pregnancy is highly prevalent in low- and middle-income countries. The relative importance of different sources and types of perceived support in the Pakistani context is unknown. We explored social support during pregnancy and the role of social isolation in Pakistani women's experiences of antenatal anxiety. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 19 pregnant women with symptoms of anxiety and 10 female healthcare providers …
The Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Pregnant Women with Perinatal Anxiety Symptoms in Pakistan
The impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on people with existing mental health conditions is likely to be high. We explored the consequences of the pandemic on women of lower socioeconomic status with prenatal anxiety symptoms living in urban Rawalpindi, Pakistan. This qualitative study was embedded within an ongoing randomized controlled trial of psychosocial intervention for prenatal anxiety at a public hospital in Rawalpindi. The part…
“A Woman Is a Puppet.” Women’s Disempowerment and Prenatal Anxiety in Pakistan
Common mental disorders are highly prevalent among pregnant women in low- and middle-income countries, yet prenatal anxiety remains poorly understood, particularly in the sociocultural context of South Asia. Our study explored sources, mitigators, and coping strategies for anxiety among symptomatic pregnant women in Pakistan, particularly in relation to autonomy in decision-making and social support. We interviewed 19 pregnant married women aged …
Development of a Psychological Intervention to Address Anxiety During Pregnancy in a Low-Income Country
Background: One in five women suffer from anxiety during pregnancy. Untreated anxiety is a risk factor for postnatal depression and is associated with adverse birth outcomes. Despite the high prevalence of prenatal anxiety in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), efforts to develop and evaluate context-specific interventions in these settings are lacking. We aimed to develop a culturally appropriate, feasible, and acceptable psychological int…
