“…After hospital discharge, only one out of four women received counseling on how to prevent pregnancy. This result highlighted the lack of continuity in care in the post-abortion period, reflecting the absence of comprehensiveness in the care provided to these women, as previously described ( 17 ) .…”

Objective to analyze assistance regarding contraception methods received by women during hospitalization due to abortion, and contraceptive practices the month after this episode. Methods a longitudinal study of women hospitalized due to abortion in a public hospital in the city of São Paulo. Face-to-face interviews (n=170) followed by telephone interviews in the subsequent month (n=147) were conducted between May and December of 2011. Results a small number of women reported they received guidance on, and prescription for, contraceptive methods at hospital discharge. A trend of statistical significance was identified for prescription of contraceptive methods at discharge and its use in the following month, when adjusted for age. Most women reported sexual intercourse (69.4%) with the use of contraceptive method (82.4%), but no health professional guidance (63.1%). Conclusion despite the fact that post-abortion contraception assistance was lower than the recommended guidelines by public health policies, women demonstrated willingness to use contraceptive methods.

Factors associated with the grief after stillbirth: a comparative study between Brazilian and Canadian women * Extracted from the thesis "Luto por óbito fetal: estudo comparativo entre mulheres brasileiras e canadenses", Programa ABSTRACT Objective:To verify the association between complicated grief and sociodemographic, reproductive, mental, marital satisfaction, and professional support characteristics in women after stillbirth. Method: Cross-sectional study with 26 women who had stillbirth in 2013, living in the city of Maringá, Brazil, and eight women who attended the Centre d'Études et de Recherche en Intervention Familiale at the University of Quebec en Outaouais, in Canada. The instrument was administered as an interview to a small number of mothers of infants up to three months (n=50), who did not participate in the validation study. Results: By applying the short version of the Perinatal Grief Scale, the prevalence of complicated grief in Brazilian women was found to be higher (35%) in relation to Canadian women (12%). Characteristics of the Brazilian women associated with the grief period included the presence of previous pregnancy with live birth, absence of previous perinatal loss, postpartum depression, and lack of marital satisfaction. For the Canadians it was observed that 80% of the women presenting no grief made use of the professional support group. In both populations the occurrence of complicated grief presented a higher prevalence in women with duration of pregnancy higher than 28 weeks. Conclusion: The women that must be further investigated during the grief period are those living in Brazil, making no use of a professional support group, presenting little to no marital satisfaction, having no religion, and of a low educational level.

“…The fifth article (Hutti et al, 2018) measured the validity of the PGIS via its ability to predict future intense grief based on a PGIS score obtained early after a perinatal loss. The authors compared PGIS’ validity and reliability with the PGS and concluded that the PGIS is comparable to the PGS, has a lower response burden, and can reliably and validly predict, one to eight weeks after the loss, women who may experience future complicated grief associated with perinatal loss. Perinatal Bereavement Grief Scale (PBGS): Two articles in this review used the PBGS: the original one which describes the scale and its validation (Ritsher and Neugebauer, 2002) and a second one by Koch et al (2012), which compared the PBGS with the Well-Being Questionnaire (WBQ-12) in the process to validate the WBQ-12. Developed by Ritsher and Neugebauer (2002), the PBGS is a 15-item scale designed as a measure of grief and yearning for the lost pregnancy and the lost baby derived from a review of the theoretical, clinical, counseling, and research literature.…”

“…All six articles found in the review describing translations to other languages and cultures used the PGS: one to Swedish (Adolfsson and Larsson, 2006); two to Chinese (Yan et al, 2010; Lai et al, 2013); one to Greek (Maniatelli et al, 2018); one to Spanish (Capitulo et al, 2001); and one to Dutch (Hunfeld et al, 1993). Six articles described validations: one regarding the PGS (Toedter et al, 1988), another the PGIS (Hutti et al, 1998), one the MGS (Beutel et al, 1995), two others the PBGS (Ritsher and Neugebauer, 2002; Koch et al, 2012), and one the APBS (Uren and Wastell, 2002).…”

Objective Expectant parents who live through perinatal loss experience intense grief, which is not always acknowledged or accepted. A screening tool to detect bereaved parents’ grief reactions can guide professionals, including perinatal palliative care teams, to provide follow-up for those in need. This review's goal is to identify and synthesize the international published literature on existent instruments specifically measuring the grieving process after any perinatal loss and to identify factors that could moderate grief reactions. Method Systematic review (PROSPERO # CRD42018092555) with critical synthesis. PUBMED, Cochrane, and PsycINFO databases were searched in English language articles using the keywords “perinatal” AND (“grief” OR “bereavement” OR mourning) AND (“scale” OR “questionnaire” OR “measure” OR “assessment”) up to May 2018. Eligibility criteria included every study using a measure to assess perinatal grief after all kinds of perinatal losses, including validations and translations to other languages and interventions designed to alleviate grief symptoms. Results A total of 67 papers met inclusion criteria. Seven instruments measuring perinatal grief published between 1984 and 2002 are described. The Perinatal Grief Scale (PGS) was used in 53 of the selected studies. Of those, 39 analyzed factors associated with grief reactions. Six articles used PGS scores to evaluate pre- and post-bereavement interventions. Studies in English language only might have limited the number of articles. Significance of results The PGS is the most used standardized measures to assess grief after perinatal loss. All parents living through any kind of perinatal loss should be screened.
