Women's experiences of workplace behaviours following miscarriage

目前的研究表明，流产是职场的一个关键问题。大约五分之一的怀孕以流产告终（Guardian, 2015）。据报道，严重的疼痛、抑郁和焦虑会使工作变得极具挑战性，如果不是不可能的话（Evans, 2012; Hazen, 2003; Katz, 2012; Porschitz & silver, 2017）。然而，尽管流产很普遍，影响也很大，但它却被社会污名所笼罩——导致被剥夺权利的悲伤（未被承认的悲伤导致孤立）（Hazen, 2003; Layne, 1997; Porschitz & silver, 2017）。

The current research presents miscarriage as a crucial issue for the world of work. Approximately one in five pregnancies end in miscarriage (Guardian, 2015). Severe pain, depression and anxiety are reported effects, clearly making work extremely challenging, if not impossible (Evans, 2012; Hazen, 2003; Katz, 2012; Porschitz & Siler, 2017). However, despite its prevalence and impact, miscarriage is shrouded in social stigma - resulting in disenfranchised grief (unacknowledged grief leading to isolation) (Hazen, 2003; Layne, 1997; Porschitz & Siler, 2017).
