Pregnancy and childbirth are, for most women, wonderful and memorable experiences. Yet, without warning, they can have a heartbreaking outcome. Regardless of the stage of pregnancy at which a baby is lost, the family grieves the death. The authors of this article suggest how nurses can best support the couple, siblings, grandparents and significant others through their time of sorrow. The article highlights key points from the 1992 the Hôpital de Chicoutimi (Québec) reference guide entitled "Guide d'accompagnement des familles devant un deuil périnatal." The guide includes the types of grief and the six phases of grief resolution. It outlines specific nursing interventions and recommends various strategies for the nurse to help these families grieve their loss. Some strategies include the holding and cuddling of the baby by the parents, post-partum follow-up by nursing personnel and family therapy sessions. The authors suggest that nurses who are knowledgeable about the grief experiences of these parents will be better equipped to help other parents cope with similar grief. The increased knowledge will also assist nurses to sort out and deal with their own feelings on this subject. Nurses who are able to effectively care for these grieving families can often enhance their personal and professional self-esteem.
对大多数女性来说，怀孕和分娩是美好且难忘的经历。然而，毫无预兆地，它们可能会有令人心碎的结果。无论胎儿在孕期的哪个阶段夭折，家庭都会为其死亡而悲痛。本文作者提出了护士如何在这对夫妻、兄弟姐妹、祖父母及其他重要他人悲痛的时刻给予最佳支持。文章突出了1992年魁北克奇库蒂米医院的参考指南《围产期丧亲家庭陪伴指南》中的要点。该指南包括悲伤的类型以及悲伤化解的六个阶段。它概述了具体的护理干预措施，并为护士推荐了各种帮助这些家庭悼念逝者的策略。一些策略包括让父母抱抱并依偎着婴儿、护理人员进行产后随访以及开展家庭治疗课程。作者认为，了解这些父母悲伤经历的护士将更有能力帮助其他父母应对类似的悲痛。知识的增加也将帮助护士理清并处理自己在这个问题上的感受。能够有效照顾这些悲痛家庭的护士往往能提升个人和职业自尊。
