This study aims to explore the experiences of bereavement after stillbirth of Pakistani, Bangladeshi and White British mothers in a town with multi-ethnic populations in England.
A purposive sample of Pakistani, Bangladeshi and White British mothers aged over 16 (at time of infant birth), who suffered a stillbirth in the preceding 6-24 months and residing in a specified postcode area were invited to take part in the study, by an identified gatekeeper (audit midwife) from the local National Health Service Trust, in addition to local bereavement charities.
Qualitative methods using face-to-face semi-structured interviews were undertaken, recorded and transcribed verbatim. Using framework analysis, several themes were identified.
There were three main themes identified from the data; 1. knowledge and information of pregnancy and perinatal mortality; 2. attitudes and perceptions to pregnancy and perinatal mortality and 3. experiences with maternity care. The findings revealed mostly similarities in the bereavement experiences of the Pakistani, Bangladeshi and White British mothers. A few cultural and religious differences were identified.
This study found important similarities in bereavement experiences of Pakistani, Bangladeshi and White British mothers and highlights considerations for policy makers and maternity services in how the timing of bereavement after care is provided, including advice surrounding the infant post-mortem. 209.
本研究旨在探讨英格兰一个多民族城镇中，巴基斯坦裔、孟加拉裔和白英裔母亲在遭遇胎儿死亡后的悲痛经历。
研究邀请了年龄在 16 岁以上（婴儿出生时）的、在过去 6-24 个月内遭遇过死产且居住在特定邮政编码区域的、来自巴基斯坦、孟加拉国和英国的白人母亲参加研究。由当地国家卫生服务信托机构的指定联络人（审计助产士），以及当地的丧亲慈善机构邀请符合条件的母亲参加。
采用面对面半结构式访谈的定性方法进行，并逐字记录和转录。使用框架分析，确定了几个主题。
从数据中得出了三个主要主题；1. 对妊娠和围产期死亡的知识和信息；2. 对妊娠和围产期死亡的态度和看法；3. 对产妇护理的体验。研究结果表明，巴基斯坦裔、孟加拉裔和白英裔母亲的丧亲经历有很多相似之处。也发现了一些文化和宗教差异。
本研究发现，巴基斯坦裔、孟加拉裔和白英裔母亲在丧亲经历方面有许多相似之处，这突显了政策制定者和产妇服务机构在提供关怀后丧亲时间安排方面的考虑因素，包括围绕婴儿死后的建议。
