Evaluation of a Pregnancy Loss Workshop for Healthcare Students and Professionals in Northern Ireland: A Pre-/Post-Test Study

Abstract

Research highlights the importance of compassionate communication, adequate delivery of information, and professional support to help alleviate parental distress following pregnancy loss. However, many healthcare professionals do not feel sufficiently trained to deal with pregnancy loss in practice. We aimed to address this deficiency with an evidence-informed educational intervention to increase knowledge and confidence communicating about pregnancy loss among UK nursing students.
