This descriptive study examines the grief response of mothers who experienced a fetal loss in the middle trimester of pregnancy. Twenty mothers who lost a baby through spontaneous abortion or perinatal death within 1 year participated in this study. Data were collected by mailed questionnaires. All characteristics typical of the grief response were identified, including despair, anger or hostility, guilt, loss of control, rumination, depersonalization, somatization, and death anxiety. Comparison of the study population to a group of parents who suffered the loss of a child and to a group of women who had suffered the death of a close relative demonstrated that the study group presented a grief response similar in nature and intensity to the two normative groups. This study supports previous studies that indicated the existence of grief after mid-trimester fetal loss. Replication of this study with a larger sample is recommended to further support these findings.
这项描述性研究考察了在妊娠中期经历胎儿丢失的母亲的悲伤反应。20名在1年内因自然流产或围产期死亡而失去婴儿的母亲参与了本研究。数据通过邮寄问卷收集。识别出了悲伤反应的所有典型特征，包括绝望、愤怒或敌意、内疚、失控、沉思、人格解体、躯体化和死亡焦虑。将研究人群与一组失去孩子的父母以及一组失去近亲的女性进行比较，结果表明研究组的悲伤反应在性质和强度上与这两个正常对照组相似。本研究支持了先前表明妊娠中期胎儿丢失后存在悲伤情绪的研究。建议用更大的样本重复本研究以进一步支持这些发现。
