Assessment of guidelines for good practice in psychosocial care of mothers after stillbirth: a cohort study
Abstract
Background Most maternity units have good practice protocols, advising that after stillbirth parents should be encouraged to see and hold their dead infant. Our aim was to assess whether adherence to these protocols is associated with measurably beneficial effects on the psychological health of mother and next-born child. This study forms part of a wider case-control study of the psychological effects of stillbirth.Methods We identified 65 women in the pregnancy after stillbirth, and enrolled matched controls for 60 of them. Outcome measures included depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic-stress disorder (PTSD) in pregnancy and 1 year after the next birth, and disorganised attachment behaviour in the next-born infant. Comparison variables included seeing and holding the stillborn infant, having a funeral, and keeping mementoes.Findings Behaviours that promote contact with the stillborn infant were associated with worse outcome. Women who had held their stillborn infant were more depressed than those who only saw the infant, while those who did not see the infant were least likely to be depressed (13 of 33, 39%, vs three of 14, 21%, vs one of 17, 6%; p=0.03). Women who had seen their stillborn infant had greater anxiety (p=0.02) and higher symptoms of PTSD than those who had not (p=0.02), and their next-born infants were more likely to show disorganised attachment behaviour (18 of 43, 42%, vs one of 12, 8%, p=0 x 04). Having a funeral and keeping mementoes were not associated with further adverse outcomes, but small numbers limited interpretation.Interpretation Our findings do not support good-practice guidelines, which state that failure to see and hold the dead child could have adverse effects on parents' mourning.

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.
