Abstract:
Objective:To systematically evaluate the qualitative study of perinatal bereavement care by obstetric nurses and midwives, and explore the barriers to perinatal bereavement care, so as to promote the development of domestic perinatal bereavement care services.Methods:Systematic search of qualitative studies on the experience of obstetric nurses and midwives in caring for perinatal bereaved mothers in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, CINAHL, China Biomedical Literature Service System, CNKI, Wanfang Database, and VIP database were searched from the establishment until June 30, 2024. The qualitative research quality evaluation was conducted using the 2016 version of the qualitative research quality assessment tool of the Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence-Based Health Care Centre in Australia, and the results of the study were summarized and integrated using the pooled integration method.Results:A total of 14 studies were included, with 3 Chinese literatures and 11 English literatures. A total of 55 themes were extracted, which were summarized and combined into 8 new categories, and 3 integrated results were summarized: insufficient bereavement care ability, insufficient bereavement care confidence, and imperfect allocation of bereavement care resources.Conclusions:The knowledge popularization and training of bereavement care should be strengthened, the organizational support should be strengthened, the confidence of obstetric nurses and midwives in bereavement care should be enhanced, a special perinatal bereavement care team should be set up, and multidisciplinary resources should be integrated to ensure the continuity and coordination of perinatal bereavement care.
