“…Finally, the authors conclude that with the increasing prevalence of near-miss mothers worldwide 40 as well as in Iran, 41 it is imperative to understand their experience. 42,43 We will probably recognize several limitations inherent in our design. Our study will be conducted at least one year of near-miss experience, sampling of these mothers is hard, given that their number is not too high according to inclusion criteria.…”

Introduction:Maternal near-miss (MNM) is defined as "a woman who almost died but survived a serious maternal complication during pregnancy, childbirth, or within 42 days of completion of pregnancy". Despite the long-term physical and psychological burden of this event on the mother’s life, the meaning of MNM is not clear. In addition, the mother’s role complicates the understanding of this phenomenon. Therefore, this study aimed to understand lived experience of Iranian "near-miss" mothers in the postpartum period. Methods:In this Heideggerian phenomenological study, we used Souza and colleagues’ theoretical framework to understand the meaning of the lived experience of near-miss mothers in-depth. The participants had experienced MNM at least one year ago by World Health Organization (WHO)approach in multicenter, academic, tertiary care hospitals in Mashhad, Iran. Taking into account reflexivity and after obtaining ethical approval, participants were purposively sampled using semi-structured interviews, and data analysis was conducted by Diekelmann and colleagues up to data saturation. Data collection and analysis has been argued by Lincoln and Guba. Discussion:Our findings resulted in updating the existing knowledge about the meaning of MNM and its implication. Given the different needs and challenges of near-miss mothers, it is necessary to design a supportive program of primary care for them. Policymakers and managers should consider the lived experience of these mothers when planning and taking decisions.

Background: Mothers who have experienced a near miss event, their normal life is affected by physical, psychological, emotional, social and economic adverse effects. The aim of this study is to develop a supportive program for near miss mothers (NMM), based on a program logical model (PLM) that has been validated using the nominal group technique (NGT).Methods: After conducting qualitative and systematic reviews studies to assess the needs, components of PLM were extracted that provided the framework for the utilization of activities, outputs, outcomes and impact. A Nominal Group Technique method done in a one-day workshop with the participation of 12 professionals was held in November 2020.Results: Eight strategies used in draft support programs based on the logical model, included the following: "psychological", "fertility / childbearing", "information", "care quality improvement", "socio-cultural", "financial", "breastfeeding" and "nutritional". The validation of the program was done based on the five steps of the NGT during the steps of creating ideas, silent generation of ideas, round robin, clarification of ideas, Prioritization. Finally, a final program was presented to support NMM.Conclusions: Simultaneous integration in the PLM and NGT method allowed the first program developed to support NMM to be comprehensive and complete. Using this evidence-based program can help reduce the burden of maternal morbidities in millions of women around the world and prevent long-term complications and shorten their rehabilitation phase.

“…Most women who survive severe complications of pregnancy present a “maternal near-miss syndrome” This means that these mothers experience a cascade of physical and psychological symptoms such as fear and shock during the immediate emergency, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress[ 7 – 10 ]. ANMM case experiences intense physical, emotional and psychological consequences[ 9 ] and sensation of impending death[ 6 , 10 , 11 ]. However, there is a dearth of information about their long time experience of living under new circumstances following the MNM events.…”

Background A Near Miss Mother (NMM) who survives life-threatening conditions, experiences intense physical, emotional, and psychological consequences following the maternal near-miss (MNM) events. The aim of this study was therefore to explore indepth understanding meaning of NMM everyday lived experiences on the social and cultural background of Iran. Methods This qualitative study utilized a hermeneutic phenomenology procedure. The study was conducted in hospitals affiliated with the Educational, Research and Treatment Centerwhich usually handle the NMMs. The sampling was purposeful with a maximum variation of eleven NMMs. Datawere collected using unstructured face-to-face interviews, and thetranscribed data were analyzed using Diekelmann, Allen, and Tanner’s seven-stage thematic analysis approach. Results "Death-stricken survivor mother" was the central emerged theme, and three extracted sub-themes included: "Distorted psyche on a journey to death", "physical destruction due to an ominous event ", and the "vicissitudinous life after reviving ". These sub-themes, in turn, involved 12 sub-themes that emerged from 38 common meanings and 1200 codes. Conclusions Findings demonstrate that the living conditions of NMMs are mixed in all aspects of the MNM event. They need a supportive program that includes additional follow-up visits, psychological support from the time of hospitalization until long-time after discharge, alleviation of social, sexual, and financial worries to return them to the normal life, as well as psychosocial rehabilitation to increase their life quality. Furthermore, post-discharge care in NMMs should be done actively and directly at their homes.
