The purpose of this study is to explore nurses' attitudes towards perinatal bereavement care and to identify required support and training needs for nurses on bereavement care in Hong Kong. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire, and 110 nurses were recruited from the obstetrics and gynaecology unit in one of the largest public hospitals in Hong Kong. The majority of nurses held a positive attitude towards bereavement care. A significant difference in nurses' attitudes towards bereavement support was found in terms of demographics, practical experiences and training factors. The results showed that only 25.5% (n = 28) of nurses had bereavement-related training. In contrast, 90.9% of nurses showed a positive response to grief training and 90.0% would share experiences with colleagues and seek support when feeling under stress. The findings also suggest that nurses' attitudes towards bereavement care are positively correlated with bereavement care training needs (r = 0.53) and hospital policy support (r = 0.55). Hong Kong nurses' attitudes towards perinatal care emphasized their need for increased knowledge and experience, improved communication skills, and greater support from team members and the hospital. These findings may be used for Hong Kong health care professionals to improve support of nurses, to ensure delivery of sensitive bereavement care in perinatal settings and to enhance nursing school curricula.
本研究的目的是探讨护士对围产期丧亲照护的态度，并确定香港护士在丧亲照护方面所需的支持和培训需求。通过结构化问卷收集数据，从香港最大的公立医院之一的妇产科病房招募了110名护士。大多数护士对丧亲照护持积极态度。在人口统计学、实践经验和培训因素方面，护士对丧亲支持的态度存在显著差异。结果显示，只有25.5%（n = 28）的护士接受过与丧亲相关的培训。相比之下，90.9%的护士对悲伤培训表现出积极反应，90.0%的护士会在感到压力时与同事分享经验并寻求支持。研究结果还表明，护士对丧亲照护的态度与丧亲照护培训需求（r = 0.53）和医院政策支持（r = 0.55）呈正相关。香港护士对围产期照护的态度强调了他们对增加知识和经验、提高沟通技巧以及获得团队成员和医院更多支持的需求。这些研究结果可用于帮助香港医护人员加强对护士的支持，确保在围产期提供贴心的丧亲照护，并完善护理学校课程。
