About this study
Official title: The Effect of a Hope-Fostering Counseling Program on Psychological Well-Being Among Post-Abortion Primigravida Mothers.
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.
Read the 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.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Arabic version of The Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWB-18)
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.
Measured: • Baseline. • 3rd Week. • 6th week.
The Arabic version of The Adult Dispositional Hope Scale (ADHS)
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.
Measured: • Baseline. • 3rd Week. • 6th week.
