Abstract

Background

Diversity in spirituality, religion, and cultural norms among women leads to varying attitudes, grieving processes, and coping mechanisms after a pregnancy loss. Despite this, there is a limited understanding of grief, coping mechanisms, and mental health outcomes following pregnancy loss among Muslim women.

Objectives

This study aims to examine the impact of religion, spirituality, and faith communities on the psychological health of Muslim women during pregnancy loss.

Method

We systematically searched six databases with the key concepts, ‘pregnancy loss’ and ‘Muslim women,’ in PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, Web of Science, APA PsycINFO, and Academic Search. The search strategy was developed in line with the PCOT framework: Population – Muslim Women with "pregnancy loss," "miscarriage," "stillbirth, Context - "religion," faith, "spirituality," "faith communities," Outcome – “religious practices,” perception, coping mechanism, "psychological health."Studies were screened, their quality appraised, and narratively sized in line with the review aim. The review protocol was registered at Open Science Framework (OSF): https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/52QTA.

Result

Findings from the reviewed articles addressed the following themes: (a) Overwhelming Grief and Loss, (b) social isolation and stigmatization, (c) impact on mental health, and (d) trust in divine destiny. Islamic beliefs were strongly featured in how Muslim women processed pregnancy loss. Concepts such as tawakkul and yaqeen (trusting and certainty) were used to interpret pregnancy loss, with many women acknowledging that their Islamic faith eased the sorrow of pregnancy loss, facilitated acceptance, and strengthened their Islamic belief system.

Conclusion

This review revealed that there is limited information on Muslim women's experience of pregnancy loss. Professionals helping Muslim women dealing with the grief of pregnancy loss need to be aware that spirituality and faith communities play a major role in shaping their coping mechanisms. Future studies on the development of culturally congruent bereavement care models and supportive interventions for Muslim women facing pregnancy loss.

穆斯林妇女的妊娠损失:叙述性综述
背景妇女在精神信仰、宗教和文化规范方面的多样性导致她们在妊娠丧子后的态度、悲伤过程和应对机制各不相同。尽管如此,人们对穆斯林妇女妊娠丧子后的悲伤、应对机制和心理健康结果的了解仍然有限。本研究旨在探讨宗教、灵性和信仰团体对穆斯林妇女妊娠丧子期间心理健康的影响。搜索策略是根据 PCOT 框架制定的:对研究进行筛选、质量评估,并根据综述目的对研究进行叙述性评价。综述协议已在开放科学框架(Open Science Framework,OSF)上注册:https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/52QTA.ResultFindings,综述文章涉及以下主题:(a) 不堪重负的悲伤和失落,(b) 社会隔离和污名化,(c) 对心理健康的影响,(d) 对神圣命运的信任。在穆斯林妇女如何处理妊娠损失的问题上,伊斯兰教信仰是一个突出的特点。tawakkul和yaqeen(信任和确定性)等概念被用来解释妊娠损失,许多妇女承认,她们的伊斯兰信仰减轻了妊娠损失带来的悲伤,促进了对妊娠损失的接受,并加强了她们的伊斯兰信仰体系。帮助穆斯林妇女处理妊娠损失悲痛的专业人员需要意识到,灵性和信仰团体在形成她们的应对机制方面发挥着重要作用。未来的研究将针对面临妊娠损失的穆斯林妇女,开发与文化相一致的丧亲护理模式和支持性干预措施。
