Area of Science:

  • Perinatal loss
  • Grief response
  • African-American health

Background:

  • Prior studies lack clear data on the link between previous perinatal losses and grief intensity.
  • Low-income, African-American parents are vulnerable to perinatal mortality and life stressors impacting grief.
  • Recurrent perinatal loss requires further investigation in this population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the impact of recurrent perinatal loss on a low-income, African-American parent.
  • To understand the grief response in the context of multiple losses.

Main Methods:

  • Case report design utilizing interview data.
  • Analysis of transcripts from two open-ended interviews with a mother experiencing her fourth perinatal loss.
  • Application of Lazarus and Folkman's stress and coping theory.

Main Results:

  • Previous perinatal losses were not the primary factor in the mother's grief response.
  • Perception of healthcare provider care was a significant determinant of her response.
  • Experiences with a living child born at the same gestational age influenced her response to loss.

Conclusions:

  • Assessing a patient's perception of their experience is crucial in understanding grief.
  • Factors beyond prior losses, such as quality of care, significantly shape grief responses.
  • Individualized assessment is vital for supporting parents experiencing perinatal loss.
