Abstract

Abstract: We aimed to investigate the effect of a mental health website intervention on perceived stress, depression, sleep quality, and social support in women with recurrent miscarriage (RM). Performing a randomized controlled trial, the participants in the experimental group ( n = 31) received a 12-week mental health website intervention; the participants in the control group ( n = 31) received RM standard medical care only. The paired t -tests results for the mean posttest scores for depression ( p = .023) and perceived stress ( p = .041) in the experimental group showed a significant decrease, but did not in the control group.
