Abstract

Caring for bereaved parents after the death of a baby is emotionally challenging for midwives. There is a lack of discussion and debate in the literature of how student midwives are prepared to undertake this role. This article describes the way student midwives undertaking 3 year and 18 month courses, in one university in the UK, are prepared to care for bereaved parents and their evaluation of this preparation. Verbal feedback and student's comments in the form of reflective writing formed the basis of the evaluation. Evaluation of the preparation included a focus on the use of the support group the Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Society, as this aspect has received little attention in the literature. In the analysis of the student feedback five main themes emerged. These were dealing with death and bereaved families, anxieties and fears, teaching strategies, user representation and preparedness for practice. Teaching about death is challenging and there is a need to share how educators undertake this task and to learn from each other. It is hoped that this discussion will stimulate a debate surrounding this issue.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
