“…These findings support previous research which reported that during the year following an abortion women visited their family doctors 80% more for all reasons and 180% more for psychosocial reasons. (Ney 1984) This finding was supported by a study that surveyed the amount of health care sought after by women a year before and a year after the abortions. The study found that" on average, there was an 80 percent increase in the number of doctor visits and a 180 percent increase in doctor A visits for psychosocial reasons after abortion" (Berkeley 1984) Physical problems are not the only boomerang effects of abortion, psychological, emotional and other problems abound.…”

“…25,26 Partner support has also been linked to women's well-being during pregnancies after loss. 27,28 Miscarriage also impacts men. In a new survey of 40 men, 59% reported a deepened awareness of the fragility of life, 45% mourned the loss of their family's hopes and dreams, 50% claimed they did not share feelings with their partner, and 40% experienced a strong sense of vulnerability and powerlessness to help their wife.…”

Aims: The purpose of this randomized controlled clinical trial was to examine the effects of three couplesfocused interventions and a control condition on women and men's resolution of depression and grief during the first year after miscarriage. Methods: Three hundred forty-one couples were randomly assigned to nurse caring (NC) (three counseling sessions), self-caring (SC) (three video and workbook modules), combined caring (CC) (one counseling session plus three SC modules), or control (no treatment). Interventions, based on Swanson's Caring Theory and Meaning of Miscarriage Model, were offered 1, 5, and 11 weeks after enrollment. Outcomes included depression (CES-D) and grief, pure grief (PG) and grief-related emotions (GRE). Differences in rates of recovery were estimated via multilevel modeling conducted in a Bayesian framework. Results: Bayesian odds (BO) ranging from 3.0 to 7.9 favored NC over all other conditions for accelerating women's resolution of depression. BO of 3.2-6.6 favored NC and no treatment over SC and CC for resolving men's depression. BO of 3.1-7.0 favored all three interventions over no treatment for accelerating women's PG resolution, and BO of 18.7-22.6 favored NC and CC over SC or no treatment for resolving men's PG. BO ranging from 2.4 to 6.1 favored NC and SC over CC or no treatment for hastening women's resolution of GRE. BO from 3.5 to 17.9 favored NC, CC, and control over SC for resolving men's GRE. Conclusions: NC had the overall broadest positive impact on couples' resolution of grief and depression. In addition, grief resolution (PG and GRE) was accelerated by SC for women and CC for men.

“…Several studies have found that mothers who became pregnant too soon after a perinatal loss may be experiencing unresolved grief which in turn could play a role in ineffective parenting for the subsequent child. 25,26 Little is known, however, about the impact of a child's loss on pregnancy outcomes or parenting behaviors. More rigorous research is needed to explore the effects of perinatal loss and subsequent pregnancy outcomes across different ethnic groups.…”

Ethnic differences in infant mortality by cause of death

This study provides evidence that maternal sociodemographic risk factors somewhat vary by infant cause of death and ethnicity. This suggests that race-specific approaches may be necessary to reduce infant mortality rates. The differences, however, in the risk distribution of factors across the two ethnic groups were limited indicating that the heterogeneity in the mortality rates may be due to unmeasured factors.
