“…A stillbirth is often unexpected and happens quickly, and the emotional changes experienced by the parents are enormous. Investigations have reported that 20-30% of women with perinatal loss of a child have appreciable psychiatric long term morbidity 1 2 3 4 5 6. The rapidly changing practice in maternal care during recent years may have altered the prerequisites for these mothers being able to cope with the trauma 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16.…”

“…Mourning has been cited as an expression of bereavement (Ryan et al 1991) that is time limited (Brost & Kenney 1992) and dynamic, differing from person to person and over time (LaRoche et al 1982). Mourning is described as the manifestation of culturally patterned behaviors during bereavement (Kastenbaum, 2007) that incorporate the experience of the loss into the outward expression as life is lived (Ferrell & Coyle 2006).…”

Aim This paper is a report of an analysis of the concept of perinatal bereavement. Background The concept of perinatal bereavement emerged in the scientific literature during the 1970s. Perinatal bereavement is a practice based concept, although it is not well defined in the scientific literature and is often intermingled with the concepts of mourning and grief. Design Concept Analysis. Data Sources Using the term ‘perinatal bereavement’ and limits of only English and human, Pub Med and CINAHL were searched to yield 278 available references dating from 1974 – 2011. Articles specific to the experience of perinatal bereavement were reviewed. The final data set was 143 articles. Review Methods The methods of principle-based concept analysis were used. Results reveal conceptual components (antecedents, attributes and outcomes) which are delineated to create a theoretical definition of perinatal bereavement. Results The concept is epistemologically immature, with few explicit definitions to describe the phenomenon. Inconsistency in conceptual meaning threatens the construct validity of measurement tools for perinatal bereavement and contributes to incongruent theoretical definitions. This has implications for both nursing science (how the concept is studied and theoretically integrated) and clinical practice (timing and delivery of support interventions). Conclusions Perinatal bereavement is a multifaceted global phenomenon that follows perinatal loss. Lack of conceptual clarity and lack of a clearly articulated conceptual definition impede the synthesis and translation of research findings into practice. A theoretical definition of perinatal bereavement is offered as a platform for researchers to advance the concept through research and theory development.

“…Perinatal kayıp ile ilişkili bir çok çalışmada annenin fetusa bağlanmasının, gebeliğin süresiyle ilişkili olduğunu öne sürülmektedir, bunun bir sonucu olarak gebeliğin süresi arttıkça gebelik kaybı sonrasında daha fazla üzüntü yaşama arasında korelasyon olduğu gösterilmiştir [21][22][23][24][25] . Buna rağmen gebelik kaybıyla ile ilgili çalışmlarda çelişkili sonuçlar mevcuttur.…”

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate acute stress disorder in women experiencing a pregnancy loss. Material and Methods:The study included 170 pregnant women presenting to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic in research and training hospital of Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam University between February 2013 and July 2013. Fiftyfour women experiencing a pregnancy loss before the 21 st week of gestation (31%) were assigned into the pregnancy loss group and 116 women whose pregnancy continued without any problems (69%) were assigned into the control group. Data were collected with Posttraumatic Stress disorder Scale (PTSDS) and a questionnaire composed of questions about socio-demographic features and history of pregnancy and diseases.. Results:The mean ages of the pregnancy loss group the control group were 28.83±7.30 years and 28.87±5.87 years respectively without a significant difference (p=0.968). The mean score for PTSDS was 32.40±10.24 (min: 17 and max: 52) in all the participants, 35.83±11.51 in the pregnancy loss group and 30.81±9.21 in the control group. The women experiencing a pregnancy loss had significantly higher scores for PTSDS. Conclusion:The study revealed that symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder increased after pregnancy losses. It is of great importance to provide social and psychological support for the couples experiencing a pregnancy loss in terms of their wellbeing. Inability to implement support mechanisms effectively in cases of increased acute stress such as pregnancy loss can predispose to progression to posttraumatic stress disorder.
