Women’s Experience Survey of Hyperemesis Gravidarum: Life impacts, experiences of treatment and perceptions of Chinese herbal medicine
The Chinese Medicine Centre in hosting a national survey study with women exploring Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG).
This survey collects information from women using a questionnaire about her experiences of hyperemesis gravidarum (HG). HG is characterised by severe or intractable nausea and vomiting of pregnancy resulting in dehydration and potential weight loss. It is a potential complication of pregnancy that some women experience.
Complications of HG are the main cause for a woman to be admitted to hospital during her first trimester of pregnancy. The more we understand about women’s HG experiences and perceptions of HG treatments, the better we can inform future care practises, including research to investigate further treatments and interventions, and advocacy to support maternal health. One area of future research interest being asked in this survey version is the use of Chinese herbal medicines.
