Brief 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.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Arabic version of The Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWB-18) | • Baseline. • 3rd Week. • 6th week. | PWB-18 consists of 18 items assessing psychological well-being over the previous four weeks across six subscales: autonomy, environmental mastery, self-acceptance, personal growth, positive relations, and purpose in life. Each subscale contains three items rated on a 1-6 Likert scale, which is a common rating system used in surveys where respondents indicate their level of agreement or frequency, with higher scores reflecting greater psychological well-being. |
| The Arabic version of The Adult Dispositional Hope Scale (ADHS) | • Baseline. • 3rd Week. • 6th week. | ADHS measures hope with 12 items, including four distractor items. The scale evaluates two components, agency and pathways, each assessed by four items rated on a 1-8 Likert scale, with higher scores indicating greater hope. |
