Abstract

Existing interventions to assist mothers following newborn death are implemented once manifestations of distress are present. Preventive measures could be instituted if predictors of grief were defined. The objective of this study was to investigate the value of perceived support, relationship satisfaction, emotion-focused coping, problem-focused coping, and mixed coping in predicting maternal grief in the year after a newborn death. The sample consisted of seventy-five bereaved mothers. Measures used included the Perinatal Grief Scale, Short Version; the Ways of Coping Scale, Revised; the Personal Resources Questionnaire 85, Part II; the Relationship Satisfaction Questionnaire; and the Demographic Data Sheet. Perceived support and emotion-focused coping accounted for a significant proportion of variance in total grief (43 percent), demonstrating that these two variables together can predict maternal grief. Programs to help bereaved mothers mobilize perceived support and use different ways of coping could be beneficial following the death of a newborn.

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.
