Dataset for "Comparing posttraumatic growth in mothers after stillbirth or early miscarriage"

This dataset reports the experiences of women who lost a baby through Early Miscarriage (up to 12 weeks into pregnancy) or Stillbirth (after 24 weeks of pregnancy). Responses were given via an online questionnaire and focus on experience of Postraumatic Growth (experience of reported positive psychological change experienced as a result of the struggle with highly challenging life circumstances (Calhoun & Tedeschi, 2001)). Other information reported by participants includes information about age, employment and similar details, as well as information about their psychological wellbeing.

This dataset contains quantitative data from an online self-report, online questionnaire-based research project into the experience of posttraumatic growth in women who lost a baby by Early Miscarriage or Still Birth. Variables relating to Posttraumatic growth are included alongside demographic variables and variables relating to psychological distress, including depression, anxiety and PTSD.
