There is a growing movement in children's hospice care to offer families time with their baby after death through use of a "cold cot"; however, there is very limited research in this area. We interviewed seven parents (four mothers and three fathers). Our thematic analysis identified six themes: being able to care for my baby in a way that I never had, space and time to adjust to the loss, time as a family, having my baby close, creating memories, and awareness of societal perceptions. The authors conclude that these facilities provided memories, strengthened legacy, and were a valuable experience.
在儿童临终关怀领域,有一种日益流行的做法,即通过使用“冷停尸位”让家属在婴儿死后与其共度时光;然而,这方面的研究非常有限。我们采访了 7 位家长(4 位母亲和 3 位父亲)。我们的主题分析确定了六个主题:能够以我从未有过的方式照顾我的孩子、有空间和时间来适应失去孩子的痛苦、作为一个家庭的时间、让我的孩子靠近、创造回忆、以及意识到社会观念。作者得出结论,这些设施提供了回忆、强化了遗产,并是一次宝贵的体验。
