This is a follow-up study of 25 middle-class, expectant, married couples who had experienced a perinatal loss (16 miscarriages, seven stillbirths, and two neonatal deaths) within the previous 2 years and who subsequently gave birth to a healthy child. The Perinatal Bereavement Scale (PBS) had been previously completed during the 8th month of the subsequent pregnancy and at 6 weeks postnatally. In this study, the PBS was completed 16 months after the birth of the subsequent child. The hypothesis was that the parents who experienced a late perinatal loss (stillbirth and neonatal death) would display more unresolved grief 16 months after the subsequent child was born compared to parents who had experienced an early loss (miscarriage). The late group mothers had significantly higher PBS scores than either the early group mothers or early group fathers at 16 months postnatally.
这是一项针对25对中产阶级、已婚且处于孕期的夫妇的随访研究。这些夫妇在过去两年内经历过围产期丧子之痛（16例流产、7例死产和2例新生儿死亡），随后都诞下了健康的孩子。围产期丧亲量表（PBS）此前已在后续妊娠的第8个月以及产后6周完成填写。在本研究中，PBS是在后续孩子出生16个月后完成填写的。研究假设为，与经历早期丧子之痛（流产）的父母相比，经历晚期围产期丧子之痛（死产和新生儿死亡）的父母在后续孩子出生16个月后会表现出更多未解决的悲伤情绪。产后16个月时，晚期丧子组母亲的PBS得分显著高于早期丧子组母亲或早期丧子组父亲。
