Lived experience of spontaneous preterm birth following spontaneous preterm labor: the primary caregiver’s perspective
This study centralizes the caregiver perspective, which is imperative to improving maternal outcomes. Caregivers' experiences (particularly of neonatal outcomes such as length of NICU stay) are integral to shaping maternal HRQoL. Increased awareness of sPTL signs and symptoms, and enhanced sPTL management strategies, are needed to improve both maternal and neonatal outcomes.
