Creating and maintaining compassionate relationships with bereaved parents after perinatal death
Abstract
Compassionate relational care has the potential to nurture bereaved parents in a meaningful way and positively shape their grieving journey, as well as being fulfilling for midwives who offer such quality care. Enabling a quality relationship to develop with bereaved parents ensures a safe relational space is created, where parents can experience an emotional connection with their midwife when they most need it. The quality of this unique relationship created by the midwife and experienced by the parents will forever become part of their deceased baby's narrative and will continue to influence, either positively or negatively, their onward grieving journey.

Verbal and non-verbal communication are integral components of compassionate bereavement care.
“Both verbal and non-verbal communication has been demonstrated to be integral components of compassionate bereavement care (Kelley and Trinidad, 2012; Quinn, 2016; Cockell, 2020), and were significantly impacted by the madatory wearing of masks, maintaining social distancing and time limitation to contact times with women.”

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.
