Description
Zohreh Abbasi, Sakineh Nazari, and Soheila Mohamadirizi set out a plan to study how mothers experience hearing bad news around childbirth, in a 2025 paper. Breaking bad news is hard in any clinic, and harder in high-risk pregnancies, where culture shapes what women expect and how they cope. The protocol describes a qualitative study in Isfahan, Iran, covering pregnancy, delivery, and the weeks after.
About thirty women will be chosen on purpose from public and private hospitals, with interviews continuing until no new themes appear. The team will hold deep, semi-structured interviews and add observation notes. Interviews will be coded with a standard inductive method to build themes from the women's own words. The authors say no prior study has taken this approach in their setting. They hope the findings will guide policy and kinder, clearer communication in maternity care.
