ABSTRACT This paper presents findings of the first study to analyse the uses and sufficiency of writing therapy in the context of pregnancy sickness. Ten women, previously hospitalised due to Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG), a chronic pregnancy related illness, participated in this research study. Participants completed four expressive writing tasks, at home, over a 2-week period, followed by a semi-structured, qualitative telephone interview. The study thematically analysed participants’ experiences of engagement with the writing process, including writing for self rather than audience, and how writing compared to talking about their illness experience. Findings are consistent with the existing research literature on the therapeutic value of reflective writing and contribute new knowledge regarding women’s first-person experiences of this in a new population. Data were analysed through a psychotherapeutic lens by a researcher who lived with HG throughout both of her own pregnancies.

关于慢性妊娠病的治疗性写作：女性对充足的看法

摘要 本文介绍了第一项研究的结果，该研究分析了妊娠病背景下书写疗法的用途和充分性。10 名之前因妊娠剧吐 (HG)（一种慢性妊娠相关疾病）住院的女性参与了这项研究。参与者在 2 周内在家里完成了四项富有表现力的写作任务，然后是半结构化的定性电话采访。该研究主题分析了参与者参与写作过程的经历，包括为自己而不是为观众写作，以及写作与谈论他们的疾病经历相比如何。研究结果与关于反思性写作治疗价值的现有研究文献一致，并提供了关于女性在新人群中的第一人称体验的新知识。一位研究人员通过心理治疗镜头分析了数据，她在自己的两次怀孕期间都与 HG 住在一起。
