- This thesis consists of a literature review concerning perinatal loss from the healthcare provider’s perspective. It explores the effect that these situations have on the implicated healthcare professionals, especially midwives and nurses. More specifically, it focusses on the factors and strategies that help healthcare providers increase their professional self-efficacy, self-confidence and cope with perinatal death. These factors are divided into four chapters : Knowledge and experience, Caring practices, Organisational factors and Personal factors. Following this study, several recommendations of further research were made.
