Abstract: The diagnosis gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) is known to have a significant psychological impact on women. Our objective was to provide insight in the psychological and physical consequences of women with GTD, while also reflecting on their coping strategies and their experiences of received care. A qualitative study was carried out using semi-structured interviews among women recently diagnosed with GTD. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and analyzed using a thematic network approach. Eight interviews were analyzed. The abruptness of the diagnosis resulted in women feeling sad, uncertain and powerless. Coping strategies included seeking emotional support, accurate information, peer connections and distraction. Women were generally satisfied with care, emphasizing personalization, empathy, medical expertise and feeling heard as important aspects. They appreciated offered psychological support from specialized nurses. Nevertheless, aspects such as provided information, communication and logistical issues need improvement. The results of this study emphasize the importance of comprehensive patient information, the need for personalized psychological support and more frequent consultations at reference centers, while treatment is conducted locally.
