Digital Perinatal Bereavement Support Program for Women After Pregnancy Loss

Overview

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a digital perinatal bereavement support program designed for women who have experienced pregnancy loss. Perinatal loss is associated with significant psychological distress, including grief, depression, and anxiety, which may persist over time if not adequately addressed. The intervention consists of a structured digital support program delivered over five weeks, focusing on emotional processing, coping strategies, and psychological resilience. Participants were assessed at baseline, immediately after the intervention, and during follow-up periods at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months. The primary objective is to determine whether the intervention improves psychological outcomes, including grief and depressive symptoms. The findings are expected to contribute to the development of accessible and scalable mental health support models for women experiencing perinatal loss.

Perinatal loss is a significant life event that can lead to long-term psychological consequences, including prolonged grief, depression, and anxiety. Despite the high prevalence of these outcomes, access to structured psychological support remains limited, particularly in scalable and accessible formats. This study investigates the effectiveness of a digitally delivered perinatal bereavement support program developed to provide structured emotional and psychological support for women following pregnancy loss. The intervention was administered over a five-week period and included components targeting grief processing, emotional expression, and adaptive coping strategies. Participants were evaluated at multiple time points, including baseline (pre-intervention), post-intervention, and follow-up assessments at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months. Psychological outcomes were assessed using validated measurement tools. The primary aim of the study is to assess changes in psychological outcomes over time and to determine the sustainability of intervention effects during the follow-up period. This study contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting digital mental health interventions and offers insights into scalable support mechanisms for perinatal bereavement.
