Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Assessment of short-term post-traumatic stress disorder in women with fetal loss after 12 weeks of gestation with IES-R scale recorded at 30 days after fetal loss.
Time Frame: Telephone interviews are planned 30 days after fetal loss

Assessment of the Impact of Events Scale-Revised (IES-R) score wil be performed by telephone interview by the principal investigator of the present study.

IES-R scale has been validated in 1997 (Weiss and Mar) and then validated in French in 2003 (Brunet and St Hilaire). This scale assesses the semi-retarded and retarded consequences of traumatic events. It consists in a 22 items questionnaire measuring symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), just after traumatic event and after a while. It is based on three main PTSD's elements: avoidance symptoms (items 8, 11, 12, 13, 17, 22), intrusion symptoms (items 1, 3, 5, 6, 9, 16) and hyperarousal (items 2, 4, 10, 14, 15, 18, 21).The patient has to respond using Likert's scale.

score interpretations: 24-32: those with scores this high who do not have full PTSD will have partial PTSD. >33 this represents the best cutoff for a probable diagnosis of PTSD

Telephone interviews are planned 30 days after fetal loss
