The Scope and Impact of Perinatal Loss: Current Status and Future Directions.

Abstract

The loss of an expected child can be devastating and traumatizing for parents, placing them at risk for postloss mental health complications, such as complicated or traumatic grief. The authors review the psychological and social impacts of perinatal loss and describe the standard care provided in the hospital. The authors review studies that examine the efficacy of standard care and highlight the need for empirical evidence confirming the efficacy of these current interventions. The authors provide recommendations for health care professionals in contact with the perinatally bereaved and suggest areas for future research.
