Article Abstract

Aims: To explore the support provision and self-support journey of partners in high-risk pregnancies with comorbidities by integrating qualitative findings.

Methods: This is a meta-synthesis of qualitative studies. We systematically reviewed six electronic databases for relevant studies published from inception to January 2025. Inductive thematic analysis was used for data analysis. We created a journey map to illustrate the experiences of partners throughout the key timepoints during the high-risk pregnancies complicated by comorbidities.

Results: 18 studies were included. Totally 13 analytic themes with 31 descriptive themes emerged from the four-phase (prenatal screening period, treatment during pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum) journey. Examples for analytic themes included Multiple Factors Shaping Partners' Caregiving Readiness and Role Definition, Self-support void, Engagement in High-Risk Pregnancy Healthcare Involves Both Reassurance and Challenges.

Conclusion: Role of partners in supporting women with high-risk pregnancies complicated by comorbidities and their involvement in self-care across full journey was highlighted.
