Abstract

As nurses provide holistic support, their own comfort in caring for parents and families experiencing perinatal loss must be considered.

Evidence from this study promotes the discussion of how nurse educators can structure professional development programs to best transfer the experience and confidence of perinatal nurses who are already comfortable with bereavement care to nurses who are not.
