The present research was conducted to find out distress in women with miscarriage and its relationship with religious rituals, spiritual and social support. It was hypothesized that social support, spiritual support, religiosity and number of miscarriages will likely to predict distress in miscarrying women. Correlatioal research design was employed. Sample selected 100 participants divided in two groups, 50 participants each group using purposive sampling. Sample was taken from two different hospitals of Lahore. Both groups were matched on age, education, income level, occupation, family system and number of children. Demographic questionnaire, Religious activity scale (RAS: Sitwat, 2005), Spiritual support scale (SSS; Maton, 1989), Multidimensional scale of perceived social support (MSPSS; Zimet et al., 1988) and Center for epidemiologic studies depression scale (CESD; Radloff, 1977) were employed to assess religious activities, beliefs, social support and level of distress in miscarriage. Findings depicted that Social support, spiritual and number of miscarriages is related to distress in miscarrying women. Number of miscarriages and social support emerged as significant predictors of distress in miscarrying women. Religious activities and spiritual support were not significantly associated with the level of distress.
