Knowledge and Attitude Regarding ‘Perinatal Bereavement Care’ among Nurses Working in the Maternity Unit and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

Abstract

Perinatal bereavement is a unique mourning situation, as the parent's expectation and joy at the prospect of a new life change into a despair and grief. IUFD may represent a significant loss of the mother's perception of her body's functional adequacy associated with body image and feelings of self-wroth.
