PAS Supportive care survey

National Accreta Foundation has an opportunity for placenta accreta spectrum survivors to participate in this patient experience survey. If you’d like to be invited to future opportunities like this, please add your accreta story to our storybank.

who is hosting this survey?

This study is being done by a team of international researchers who have a special interest in caring for women with placenta accreta spectrum. The study is being led by Dr. Helena Bartels and Prof Donal Brennan, who are based at the National Maternity Hospital in Dublin, Ireland. Researchers are working in close collaboration with two patient advocacy groups: National Accreta Foundation and Placenta Accreta Ireland.

what is the intention?

The purpose of this survey is to explore the experiences of women who had a pregnancy complicated by Placenta Accreta Spectrum. Specifically, we want to find out if women were offered support during and after the pregnancy such as mental health counselling, physiotherapy/physical therapist and postnatal/postpartum follow up. We are hoping to identify supports that people impacted by PAS found helpful or would have liked to have during and after their pregnancy. We hope to use this information to improve the care and experience for women diagnosed with placenta accreta in the future.
