Abstract
Introduction: Preeclampsia is one of the most important hypertension disorders in pregnancy with adverse consequences and even maternal death. Evaluation of social support and factors related to it can protect women with preeclampsia from adverse mental and physical health outcomes so this study aims to determine factors related to perceived social support in women with preeclampsia referred to a selected hospital in Ilam.

Materials and methods: In this "descriptive-correlation" study, 233 women with preeclampsia referred to the emergency department of Taleghani Hospital in Ilam in 2024 participated by available sampling method. The data collection tool included SPSS 21 software and the data were analyzed based on descriptive and analytical tests (independent T-test and analysis of variance).

Findings: The average score of perceived social support among the studied samples was equal to 71.05±6.04 out of a total of 84 points which indicates a high level of perceived social support among the studied samples. Also between the average score of perceived social support with smoking and tobacco use (P=0.001), history of stillbirth (P=0.02) and type of pregnancy (P=0.04). In the studied samples, a significant relationship was observed.

Conclusion: According to the results of this study, the health officials of pregnant women and nurses working in medical centers should consider the measures and interventions necessary to improve the perceived social support according to individual, social and disease factors in women with preeclampsia.
