目的：描述母亲和父亲在失去死产婴儿后的悲痛及其对他们关系的影响。设计：在死产后三个月、一年和两年时邮寄问卷。背景：瑞典斯德哥尔摩地区一年内死产婴儿的母亲和父亲的研究。参与者：55名父母、33名母亲和22名父亲。研究结果：母亲和父亲表示，他们在失去婴儿后变得更加亲密，这种感觉在接下来的一年里加深了。这对父母说，他们立即开始悲伤，这是一个循序渐进的过程，无论是作为个人还是作为夫妇在一起。在这个悲痛的过程中，他们的期望、表达以及个人和共同的需求可能威胁到了他们作为一对夫妇的关系，因为在这个退缩的时刻，他们各自感到孤独。虽然一些父母有相似的悲伤风格，但悲伤的强度和表达方式各不相同，每个人的悲伤影响都是深刻而独特的。关键结论：失去后的经历是复杂的，每个伴侣都试图接受失去的痛苦及其对伴侣关系的影响。练习的意义：预测并能够认识到悲伤的不同方面，将使专业人士能够实施更有效的干预，帮助夫妇单独和一起悲伤。(C)2012爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Objectives: to describe the grief of mothers and fathers and its influence on their relationships after the loss of a stillborn baby.Design: a postal questionnaire at three months, one year and two years after stillbirth.Setting: a study of mothers and fathers of babies stillborn during a one-year period in the Stockholm region of Sweden.Participants: 55 parents, 33 mothers and 22 fathers.Findings: mothers and fathers stated that they became closer after the loss, and that the feeling deepened over the course of the following year. The parents said that they began grieving immediately as a gradual process, both as individuals, and together as a couple. During this grieving process their expectations, expressions and personal and joint needs might have threatened their relationship as a couple, in that they individually felt alone at this time of withdrawal. While some mothers and fathers had similar grieving styles, the intensity and expression of grief varied, and the effects were profound and unique for each individual.Key conclusions: experiences following a loss are complex, with each partner attempting to come to terms with the loss and the resultant effect on the relationship with their partner.Implications for practice: anticipating and being able to acknowledge the different aspects of grief will enable professionals to implement more effective intervention in helping couples grieve both individually and together.
