“…Other situations where couples suffer distress can be found in studies of parents' experiences during pregnancy. Ekelin et al (2008) investigated the experiences and feelings of couples who had discovered they had a non-viable fetus at the second trimester scan. The obviously shocking experience brought with it feelings of grief for the baby they had longed for and also for the plans they had made for their families.…”

“…The main reason to undergo ultrasound examination seems to be confirmation of the wellbeing of the new baby. There is little preparation for receiving negative information about the fetus . Yet the purpose of such examination for health care providers is detection of fetal malformations; rates of such detection vary in different studies from about 29% to more than 80% .…”

“…Qualitative studies were generally of a high standard, with methodologies and analyses (content [46,55,60,64,69], thematic [61,65,71,72], grounded theory [59,62,68], autoethnographic [66], descriptive [83] and phenomenological [56-58, 73-75, 77-82]) clearly reported and justified in the context of 'exploratory' or 'understanding lived experience' research aims. Quantitative studies reported either correlational and regression analyses [24,67,76,86,88,90,92,93], or group difference tests [23,25,76,84,87,89,91,[94][95][96], including significance testing of resulting relationships or differences.…”

Background : Emotional distress following pregnancy loss and neonatal loss is common, with enduring grief occurring for many parents. However, little is known about men's grief, since the majority of existing literature and subsequent bereavement care guidelines have focused on women. To develop a comprehensive understanding of men's grief, this systematic review sought to summarise and appraise the literature focusing on men's grief following pregnancy loss and neonatal loss. Methods :A systematic review was undertaken with searches completed across four databases (PubMed, PsycINFO, Embase, and CINAHL). These were guided by two research questions: 1) what are men's experiences of grief following pregnancy/neonatal loss; and 2) what are the predictors of men's grief following pregnancy/neonatal loss? Eligible articles were qualitative, quantitative or mixed methods empirical studies including primary data on men's grief, published between 1998 and October 2018.Eligibility for loss type included miscarriage or stillbirth (by any definition), termination of pregnancy for nonviable foetal anomaly, and neonatal death up to 28 days after a live birth. Results : A final sample of 46 articles were identified, including 26 qualitative, 19 quantitative, and one mixed methods paper. Findings indicate that men's grief experiences are highly varied, and current grief measures may not capture all of the complexities of grief for men. Qualitative studies identified that in comparison to women, men may face different challenges including expectations to support female partners, and a lack of social recognition for their grief and subsequent needs. Men may face doubledisenfranchised grief in relation to the pregnancy/neonatal loss experience. Conclusion : There is a need to increase the accessibility of support services for men following pregnancy/neonatal loss, and to provide recognition and validation of their experiences of grief. Cohort studies are required among varied groups of bereaved men to confirm grief-predictor relationships, and to refine an emerging socio-ecological model of men's grief.
