“…There have been longstanding concerns about fetal death data quality and completeness (14,15), and fewer resources committed and less priority given to fetal death data collection and research (15,28). Some studies (29,30) have singled out perceptions of importance and work burden as factors affecting the quality of information entered in fetal death vital records and concluded that a broad educational effort is needed to improve the quality of vital statistics cause-of-fetal-death data.…”

“…Another study recommended reducing the amount of information collected (29), and many items were dropped from the national fetal death file in 2014 in the hope of reducing reporting burden and improving the quality of the remaining items, including cause of death (34). The need for more education and awareness efforts targeted to clinicians and information management staff reporting information on fetal deaths is a common call to action (29,30,33). Variability between facilities and discrepancies between medical records and fetal death reports point to areas where reporting could be improved (35).…”

“…Moreover, Steen (2015) explained that the global estimation of stillbirth per year is around 2.64 million, and the global neonatal death is estimated in around four million cases per year (Sisay et al, 2014). However, according with some authors (Cassidy, 2018; Duke et al, 2010; Sisay et al, 2014), a big percentage of perinatal losses are overlooked or not declared due to deficient or ineffective data collection systems. This lack of precise data about perinatal losses entails the calculation of unreal rates of prevalence for this kind of episodes, generating a false perception of these losses as isolated cases and, therefore, causing stigma in women and families affected (Brierley-Jones et al, 2014; Fernandez et al, 2011).…”

Emotional care is an important part of the holistic labor and should be considered when providing care to people affected by perinatal losses. To synthesize the findings from recently published scientific evidence on the emotional care needed following perinatal loss, a search in PubMed, CINAHL, SCOPUS, and Web of Science was carried out in January 2020 yielding 22 studies which met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed following Whittemore and Knafl’s (2005) methodology. One category on “offering emotional care” was identified: “Aspects influencing the psychosocial well-being of women after perinatal loss,” comprising eight themes: risk of complicated grief, cultural values, perinatal losses in multiple pregnancies, experience of subsequent pregnancies, need of information, contact with the deceased baby, impact on relatives, and strategies for emotional care. In conclusion, the evidence highlights the need of specific emotional grief care.

“…Sections 1 and 2 had 23 items adapted with permission from Duke et al (2010) and included items regarding provider demographics, professional practice, and stillbirth definition. Section 3 evaluated the Stillbirth Toolkit for study outcomes related to impact on self-reported knowledge, definition of stillbirth, and provider perceptions of the Stillbirth Toolkit's application to professional practice.…”

Background Maternity care and women's health are measured, in part, by the stillbirth rate of a country. The purposes of this pilot project were to: a) establish a baseline of health care provider knowledge regarding stillbirth risk factors based on geographic distribution (urban/rural) and provider licensure (MD, APRN, PA, CNM) and b) evaluate the utility of a Stillbirth Risk Factor Toolkit and its effects on provider knowledge. Methods Evaluative research using a retrospective pre-posttest survey design was completed. The study setting included primary care clinics (urban [n= 25] and rural [n =25]) in Nebraska. Health care providers from N =50 clinics were surveyed about their knowledge of stillbirth risk factors (modifiable and non-modifiable) before and after reading the Toolkit. Results Providers were least knowledgeable regarding the definition of stillbirth and the number of weeks' gestation that constitute a stillbirth. Overall, there was no significant difference in baseline knowledge between rural and urban providers. Nearly half (43.8%) found the Toolkit to be very helpful and applicable to their patient population, and 34.8% said they would be very likely to utilize it with their patients. There was a statistically significant increase in knowledge of stillbirth risk factors among all health care providers after reviewing the Toolkit (p < 0.001). Conclusions Health providers had varied baseline knowledge about stillbirth. The Toolkit improved provider knowledge, but further research is needed to assess its impact on clinical practice.
