围产期损失是一种模糊损失，失去亲人的夫妇因各种形式的模糊而挣扎和经历痛苦。此外，他们的悲伤与社会的最小化并存，往往剥夺了他们传统悲伤过程的权利。本研究的目的是探讨与围产期损失有关的模糊和被剥夺权利的悲伤的来源。对13对丧亲夫妇在胎儿或婴儿死亡后2、6和13个月的录音采访进行了分析。出现了几类模棱两可和被剥夺权利的悲伤，涉及：(a)怀孕的可行性；(b)流产的物理过程；(c)安排遗体；(d)分享新闻。这项研究揭示了失去亲人的夫妇在与家人、朋友、社会和医疗保健专业人员的互动中所面临的模糊和被剥夺权利的悲伤的许多来源。这些见解可以告知医疗保健专业人员在他们的努力，以减轻有关围产期损失的痛苦。
Following perinatal loss, a type of ambiguous loss, bereaved couples struggle with and experience distress due to various forms of ambiguity. Moreover, the juxtaposition of their grief with society's minimization often disenfranchises them from traditional grieving processes. The purpose of this study was to explore sources of ambiguity and disenfranchised grief related to perinatal loss. Audio-taped interviews with 13 bereaved couples at 2, 6, and 13 months following the death of their fetus or infant were analyzed. Several categories of ambiguity and disenfranchised grief emerged, pertaining to: (a) the viability of the pregnancy; (b) the physical process of pregnancy loss; (c) making arrangements for the remains; and (d) sharing the news. This study uncovers the many sources of ambiguity and disenfranchised grief that bereaved couples face in interactions with family, friends, society, and healthcare professionals. These insights may inform healthcare professionals in their attempts to ease distress related to perinatal loss.
