Two of four reviewers independently charted the data (any two of CTP, SV, JH or KP) using a data extraction form piloted on a subsample of studies and then refined to include agreed final data items (see online supplemental file 3). For each extracted data point, it was noted where data were not reported/unclear and recorded where data were present. In addition, to identify gaps in current evidence, the themes/focus of the studies were mapped by two researchers (JH and validated by KP) onto concepts from Leventhal’s self-regulatory model of illness (SRMI).21 (link) This is a pragmatic framework for describing how symptoms and emotional experiences during a health threat or diagnosis influence how an individual perceives, interprets, responds and adjusts to such threats.22 (link) It has been widely applied within the context of cancer and other illnesses that affect women of childbearing age.23–25 (link) This conceptual model of illness cognitions and behaviours provided a framework to synthesise the mix of qualitative and quantitative studies and map the current scope of evidence on psychosocial coping and appraisal in women diagnosed with cancer during pregnancy as well as other important contextual factors affecting psychosocial well-being. Areas mapped included illness representations, coping behaviours and responses, physical and psychosocial outcomes, external resources/healthcare systems and internal/social resources. As this was a scoping review we did not assess the risk of bias of included studies.
