Miscarriage communication in Australia: insights from women and general practice trainees
This study highlights the need to integrate emotional care into all miscarriage consultations. Additionally, early training to support and deliver a consistent approach in a sensitive manner, covering both the physical and emotional aspects of miscarriage is needed. This is essential to improve the quality of care provided, and ensure better support for women during this emotionally challenging time.
