<b>Objective:</b> To report on research conducted on men's experiences of grief and
loss following stillbirth and neonatal death in high-income, Western countries.
<br></br><br></br><b>Design:</b> This review was guided by the following research
questions: 1. The impact of perinatal death for men 2. The meaning of the loss for
a father's sense of identity 3. The extent to which men were able to express grief
while supporting their partners and, 4. how men's experience of grief was mediated
by the support and care received by health professionals.
<br></br><br></br><b>Data Sources:</b> We searched the following databases: Medline;
PsychINFO; CINAHL to identify relevant articles published from the year 2000 onwards.
The searches were run between 1/04/2018 and 8/4/2018.
<br></br><br></br><b>Review methods:</b> A scoping review was conducted of nursing,
psychological, medical and social science databases using these key words: fathers’
grief, men's grief, perinatal loss and death, stillbirth and neonatal death.
<br></br><br></br><b>Results:</b> Studies indicated that men reported less intense
and enduring levels of psychological outcomes than women but were more likely to engage
in avoidance and coping behaviours such as increased alcohol consumption. Men felt
that their role was primarily as a ‘supportive partner’ and that they were overlooked
by health professionals.
<br></br><br></br><b>Conclusions:</b> Further research is needed on men's experience
of grief following perinatal death, especially on their physical and mental well-being.
<br></br><br></br><b>Impact:</b> This review addressed the problem of the lack of
knowledge around paternal needs following perinatal death and highlighted areas which
researchers could usefully investigate with the eventual aim of improving care for
fathers. |
