How Physicians Cope With Stillbirth or Neonatal Death: A National Survey of Obstetricians
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To identify U.S. obstetricians' experiences and attitudes about perinatal death, their coping strategies, and their beliefs about the adequacy of their training on this topic. METHODS: A total of 1,500 randomly selected U.S. obstetricians were mailed a self-administered survey about their experiences and attitudes in dealing with perinatal death. Physicians received up to three copies of the survey, a reminder card, and a $2 cash incentive. Eight hundred four physicians (54%) completed the entire survey. RESULTS: Seventy-five percent of respondents reported that caring for a patient with a stillbirth took a large emotional toll on them personally, and nearly one in 10 obstetricians reported they had considered giving up obstetric practice because of the emotional difficulty in caring for a patient with a stillbirth. Talking informally with colleagues (87%) or friends and family (56%) were the most common strategies used by physicians to personally cope with these situations. CONCLUSION: Perinatal death has a profound effect on the delivering obstetrician, and a significant number of participants in our study have even considered giving up obstetrics altogether. Improved bereavement training may help obstetricians care for grieving families but also cope with their own emotions after this devastating event. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: II.

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.
