The study involved 65 nurses and midwives working in obstetrics and gynecology wards and outpatient clinics of some hospitals in Japan. The responses were obtained from 49. The age of the subjects ranged from 24 to 56 years with the average of 39.2 years (SD = 8.7). The subjects were asked to rate 23 items of post-miscarriage care. The following items of care were performed at a high frequency: “not to blame the patient for the miscarriage”; “provide treatment when the patient is physically exhausted”; “provide treatment for pain”; etc. The following items of care were performed at a low frequency: “continuously provide care via the telephone and at the outpatient clinic”; “provide information on support groups, etc.,” “support the patient’s husband and family,” etc. Many midwifery staffs working in obstetrics and gynecology departments and outpatient clinics had experienced care for women after miscarriage, but their satisfaction with the care they could provide was low. Physical care and care not to blame the patient for the miscarriage were provided at a high frequency, whereas telephone counseling, continuous care, provision of information on the cause of miscarriage, lost fetus and next pregnancy, support groups, care for the patient’s husband and family, care to encourage expression of feelings and care to make the patient feel at ease without having to consider the feelings of other people were performed at a low frequency. |
