Summary

This study aims to investigate the feasibility of a hope-fostering counseling program among post-abortion primigravida mothers. The counseling program is composed of 6 counseling sessions based on individualized discussion. The program's content was built on Snyder's hope theory.

Detailed description

This was a quasi-experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The researcher assessed the participants' psychological well-being using the Arabic version of the Ryff Psychological Well-Being Questionnaire (PWB-18) and assessed their hope level using the Arabic version of the Adult Dispositional Hope Scale (ADHS) three times across three sittings: at recruitment, after their first session, and at the end of the sixth session. The counseling program was provided by a registered midwife who was qualified through a basic counseling course. Three sessions, the 1st, 3rd, and 5th sessions, were provided for the mothers at the midwife clinic in the selected healthcare centers, and three sessions were a phone calling module with the mothers.
