Óbito perinatal e assistência ao luto em serviços de saúde: uma revisão integrativa de literatura

Abstract

Identify in the scientific literature the assistance provided to women who experience perinatal grief. Method: This is an integrative literature review, with a qualitative approach. The search was realized in November 2023 in the PUBMED and BVS databases through Decs/MeSH. Results: 144 articles were found, which after the inclusion and exclusion criteria resulted in a final sample of 5 articles. From the analysis, two categories emerged “strategies in the service regarding perinatal grief” and “challenges faced in the care of perinatal grief and their repercussions on assistance” that compiled data from different actors, including patients, health professionals and managers. Final considerations: Assistance in the face of perinatal bereavement in services is diverse, consisting of both challenges and strategies in the face of death and grief. Is required to develop regulations that encompass the particularities within this assistance, carrying out permanent education in services, modifying the curricula of health training courses to minimize gaps and carrying out new studies to understand other weaknesses and strategies related to complexity of this assistance.
