Background: Recent studies revealed an elevated likelihood of unintended pregnancies among women with psychiatric disorders compared to their counterparts without such vulnerability. Despite the importance of understanding family planning decision-making in this group, qualitative inquiries are lacking. This study explored family planning decisions among women with psychiatric disorders. Methods: Utilizing a qualitative approach, three focus group discussions were conducted with purposive sampling: women with a history of unintended pregnancies (N = 3), women without children (N = 5), and women with a history of intended pregnancies (N = 9), all of whom had self-reported psychiatric disorders. Using thematic framework analysis, we investigated the themes "Shadow of the past," reflecting past experiences, and "Shadow of the future," reflecting future imaginaries, building upon the existing "Narrative Framework." Results: The Narrative Framework formed the foundation for understanding family planning among women with psychiatric disorders. The retrospective dimension of focus group discussions provided opportunities for reflective narratives on sensitive topics, revealing emotions of regret, grief and relief. Childhood trauma, adverse events, and inadequate parenting enriched the "Shadow of the past". The "Shadow of the present" was identified as a novel theme, addressing awareness of psychiatric disorders and emotions toward psychiatric stability. Social influences, stigma, and concerns about transmitting psychiatric disorders shaped future imaginaries in the shadow of the future. Conclusions: This study enlightens how family planning decision-making in women with psychiatric disorders might be complex, as marked by the enduring impact of past experiences and societal influences in this sample. These nuanced insights underscore the necessity for tailored support for women with psychiatric disorders. Plain English Summary: Recent studies show that women with psychiatric disorders are more likely to experience unintended pregnancies. However, the underlying reasons are not fully understood. Understanding those reasons is important to provide better healthcare. Our study explored how women with psychiatric disorders make decisions about family planning. We had conversations with different groups of women—women with unintended pregnancies, women without children, and women with intended pregnancies—through focus group discussions. We partnered with the Dutch mental health organization MIND to capture diverse opinions. Key themes and categories in the discussions were identified and organized. We found four main themes: "Shadow of the past" showed how past events, trauma, and lack of knowledge about parenting affect family planning. "Shadow of the present" revealed different feelings about family planning, the importance of the awareness of psychiatric disorders, and uncertainty about decisions. "Shadow of the future" included thoughts about becoming a mother, the impact of social influences, and concerns about passing on psychiatric disorders. "Reflections on the decision" showed how psychiatric disorders, experiences with motherhood, and feelings of regret, grief and relief had an influence on family planning decisions. In conclusion, our study highlighted the complexity of family planning decisions for women with psychiatric disorders. Past experiences and societal influences, like stigma, play a big role. These insights show the need for personalized family planning support for women with psychiatric disorders. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Studies have identified adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes for women with psychiatric disorders. Additionally, psychiatric disorders may pose an increased risk for unintended pregnancies (UPs) which in turn may also impact negatively on outcomes. The present study aims to compare the incidence of UPs in women with versus without current/past psychiatric diagnoses and investigates whether psychiatric history modifies the relation between delivery outcomes in women with and without UPs. Methods: A retrospective cohort was compiled of women who gave birth in a large hospital in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Women ≥18 years old with singleton pregnancies and birth registrations in the electronic patient file during January 1, 2015 to March 1, 2020 were included. Patient characteristics (including pregnancy intention and psychiatric history), maternal (gestational diabetes, mode of delivery) and neonatal outcomes (e.g., gestational age [GA], birthweight and Apgar scores) were registered by health care providers in hospital charts. Incidence of UPs was compared between women with versus without current/past psychiatric diagnoses. Maternal and neonatal outcomes were compared between women with versus without UPs with linear or logistic regression models adjusted for relevant confounders with an interaction term for UP with current/past psychiatric diagnoses. Results: We included 1219 women with and 1093 women without current/past psychiatric diagnoses. Current/past psychiatric diagnoses were significantly associated with UPs after adjustment for confounders (39.0% vs. 29.6%, OR 1.56, CI 1.23–2.00, p < 0.001). In sub‐analyses, women with depressive (OR 1.67, CI 1.24–2.26, p = 0.001), personality (OR 2.64, CI 1.38–5.11, p = 0.004) and substance‐related and addictive disorders (OR 4.29, CI 1.90–10.03, p = 0.001) had higher odds of UPs compared to women without current/past psychiatric diagnoses. Amongst women with UPs, current/past psychiatric diagnoses did not modify maternal or neonatal outcomes, except for GA at delivery as women with both UPs and current/past psychiatric diagnosis had a 2.21‐day higher mean GA at delivery than women in the reference group (p‐value interaction = 0.001). Conclusions: Current/past psychiatric diagnoses are associated with a higher odd of UPs. In our sample, maternal and neonatal outcomes were comparable for women with and without UPs and these results were similar for women with and without current/past psychiatric diagnoses, except for GA at delivery. Although our study is limited by several factors, we found that women with current/past psychiatric diagnoses, irrespective of pregnancy planning status, do not have more adverse maternal or pregnancy outcomes. Increased efforts are needed to ensure that psychoeducation and conversations about pregnancy planning and UPs are available for women with current/past psychiatric diagnoses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Background Methods Results Conclusions Reproductive health and mental health are intertwined, but studies investigating family planning needs and desire for children in mental healthcare are scarce.We studied the experiences of (former) patients, those with close relationships with the (former) patients (close ones) and mental health professionals (MHP) on discussing family planning and desire for children in mental healthcare. We combined quantitative (two nationwide surveys) and qualitative data (four focus groups) in a mixed‐methods approach with sequential analytical design.Combined data from focus groups (n = 19 participants) and two surveys (n = 139 MHPs and n = 294 (former) patients and close ones) showed that a considerable group of MHPs (64.0%), patients (40.9%) and close ones (50.0%) found that family planning should be discussed by a psychiatrist. However, several obstacles impeded a conversation, such as fear of judgment, lack of time and knowledge and limited opportunity for in‐depth exploration of life themes in therapeutic relationships.To increase the autonomy of patients in discussing family planning, we suggest MHPs explore the desire to discuss family planning with all patients in the reproductive phase of life, prior to discussing contraceptive care. MHPs should receive education about psychiatric vulnerability in relation to family planning and desire for children, and patients and close ones should be empowered to initiate a conversation themselves.
